New for MSNBC: I'm not optimistic that the CNN debate moderators will pressure Trump to commit to a coherent position on repro rights. The mainstream political press loves to let Trump off the hook even though we're five months from the election and he's still careening wildly between positions.

Opinion | CNN’s debate moderators shouldn’t miss the opportunity to ask Trump thiswww.msnbc.com The former president can’t go even one measly news cycle with a consistent message on reproductive rights.

I just spoke to Paul Musgrave and he’s totally fine and just wants to take some time off social media to focus on work. All is well, it’s voluntary, and he says he’s touched by the concern.

Best president of my lifetime. Not even close at this point.

Sometimes the best choice we can make, will still leave us feeling sad and a bit helpless, caught in the meatgrinder of the world. That's the way choices work. The idea that we can escape the moral consequences of a choice by refusing to choose is a delusion.

I like eating mole, it’s a flavorful protein, but why do they only serve it in Mexican restaurants in a weird sauce??

We have positively failed our children. I hate the gun freaks and the GOP politicians who allow them to hold us all hostage.

For the “nothing happened” after 2020 crowd. Actually something is still happening-changes sparked by movement are ongoing.Police departments are smaller&experiments (yes experiments!)in public safety beyond policing are more funded&widespread than ever.This is actually how durable change is built.

No "immunity" ruling. Again. When Trump and his lawyers make the "legal" argument that Trump's above the law for life, and the judicial system's response isn't a quick "what, are you kidding, no," that alone is a big problem. When speed helps Trump, SCOTUS has ruled fast. When delay does, they wait.
