Meiselas: Donald Trump has the lowest approval in presidential history and you see front pages of newspapers across the country like this: “Food pantries are flooded with new people."

This, while Donald Trump is out there partying at Mar-a-Lago with his Great Gatsby–themed Halloween party.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.

Wow. Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just made a stunning admission on live TV.

Bessent: "I think that there are sectors of the economy that are in recession"

Back in the 1960s, the Smothers Brothers made fun of President Lyndon Johnson and his policies many times on their popular television show. The president wrote them a letter in response.

President Trump has committed various acts of corruption at the expense of the American people. We're calling it out.

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social to discuss President Trump's abuses of power, including an unlawful proposal for a third presidential term.

McIver: The things we’re seeing this president do — it’s unbelievable. I just saw the new number: $300 million for a ballroom. The audacity of this man while we’re in the middle of a shutdown and people aren’t getting paid. I saw a line wrapped around the corner in the DMV area for the food bank

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
