Three years and one month from today, I’m going to grab a pickax and pull those letters off that building, but I’m going to need help holding the ladder. Are you in? Applying for my carpenter’s card today, so it’ll be a union job!!!

My top 10 Covers
1) Fiona Apple-Heart of Gold (when the cover is better than the original!)
2) Amy Winehouse-Valerie
3) I messed up here! Patti Smith-Because the Night. I think she released it before Bruce, so maybe put him here!
4) Johnny Cash-One
5) Brandi Carlile-Black Hole Sun

Such a tragic loss. God bless her. So appreciative of her service.
💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation
TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

It's important to understand what this ad does and why it is so threatening to the Trump admin. It gets to social identity theory, which posits that we have many identities, and the one which is salient in a given context will dictate how we think/behave in a particular situation. 1/
WATCH: After six Democratic lawmakers posted a video urging members of the military not to follow illegal orders, Trump erupted online, accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the senators in that video, joins Chris Hayes to respond.

He's vile. Always has been. Enough already.
Last night, Donald Trump, the adjudicated rapist sexual abuser who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, called a female reporter “piggy” for asking a question about the Epstein files.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

@profgalloway.com Great suggestion, right?!
The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.
I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response.
This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

Ezra Klein—like every 'liberal' pundit who befriends and promotes right-wing propagandists as good-faith interlocutors—does not have a good grasp on recent political history, including events he lived through, which is part of why he's incapable of suggesting useful strategies for the future.
I’ve heard Ezra now twice take one part of Hilary Clinton’s “deplorables” speech, without mentioning the rest of it, which does exactly what Ezra calls for Dems to do. I recognize that we have a politics of sound bits, but in full context the speech hits differently than he suggests.

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot.
Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

@smerconish.bsky.social good conversation, but you only criticize the Democrats? Where is responsibility on the right? Gun culture, Christian nationalism? None of that helps young men get off line to form productive relationships.
