@maddowblog.msnbc.com another arrest this past weekend.
Okay, here it is. From Kitty Hawk, N.C. This MAGA woman got out of her car, tried to forcefully grab the 🇺🇸 flag from a protestor. She was identified as Rhonda Kay Cecille Loy, 58, from Kitty Hawk, booked, arrested, released on $1,500. bail. She's the one in white pants, red hat.

I didn’t think he’d post a pic of himself dumping diarrhea on people wearing a crown, but I didn’t think he was above that either. The rest I could have predicted. We knew who he was, that’s why we voted for the nice email lady & the nice lady who knew how to cook, dance, & believed in finding joy.
"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Kiddo’s SAT score came in. Better than his practice scores. English was up from practice. Math was down from his highest score. Total was VERY good, but he’s disappointed & retaking. Self motivated kids are great but also my heart goes out to them. It’s hard for them to please themselves.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

We told y’all this was their playbook. We begged you to vote for the Dems in 2016 and 2024. We told you it was about voting rights and scotus. Welp…here we are. If we don’t show up in crazy large numbers in ‘26 (if we get to have elections) we defintely won’t have elections in 28. This is it.
Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.
CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.
Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.
He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Unless we fight to rebuild the Black and Jewish alliance & fight against the antisemitism & racism in the DEM party. I worry what will happen going forward in the future.
