Jen Psaki: Stop calling it a "Jan. 6 investigation" Horrific as that day was, this case is about more than just Trump’s role in fomenting an insurrection. Trump engaged in a sprawling and systematic effort to steal the 2020 election. msnbc.com/inside-with-je… via @MSNBC

It’s sad that Tim Scott has the potential to try and use his platform to transform the GOP into something better and more inclusive, but he lacks the moral character or will to do anything but tell people who look down upon him what they want to hear.

@RonFilipkowski Surely freedom is ALSO the freedom not to sing. Forced singing is what they do in North Korea.
I have always remained silent during the anthem. The obviously unpatriotic US Marine Corps taught me to do that in 1986.
Since she just took office, nothing she has done is the reason for this. Thanks, Joe Biden!
On this week’s MAGA Uncovered, I talked about the clip I posted where Trump was caught on camera directing Secret Service to move back his fans who were trying to get close to him. youtube.com/live/BFtKvfoZq…
I’m not going to try and score cheap political points by pointing out that this was in a Republican town in a Republican county and a Republican state, because only Republicans play those games.

Alabama GOP refuses to draw second Black district, despite Supreme Court order House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., have been calling state legislators about the map, which could affect control of Congress. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
I was a bit undecided about how I felt about the trial since I understood the arguments of people of different sides of the issue, but after these two Demons of Darkness weighed in I’m leaning towards liking it.

@RonFilipkowski @nashvillestacy Get ready—Trump’s right wing propaganda machine will use every case against trump to launder and “normalize” his assault on America. In that sense his trials can become platforms for trump to promote more violence and indoctrinate more extremists. Trumpism is an insidious virus.
After Jesse Watters ran this segment and Trump posted it, this juror asked to be excused because she was concerned about her identity becoming public. Fox & Trump are coordinating to intimidate jurors.
Clarence Thomas and his wife are more dangerous than the Rosenbergs.
@JeffreyToobin Why can't the Senate subpoena Clarence and ask him about this?
In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case. #SCOTUS

@RonFilipkowski 😭 CryBaby 🍼 Trump 😭
@RonFilipkowski Professional victim. All bullies are like this. He thinks rules don’t apply to him. A guilty verdict might FINALLY change that.
He has completely ignored the gag order as if it didn’t exist, posting article after article attacking the judge’s daughter and posts attacking key witnesses. But he has to always be the whiny victim because that’s who he is. A soft, weak, insecure crybaby and snowflake.
President Lincoln had more honesty and integrity in his bow tie than trump has in his whole body. He'd never fit in today's GOP.
GOP Governor Chris Sununu, Formerly a fierce Trump critic, says he’d support Trump even if he’s convicted of a crime: “When it comes to these issues, people see it more as reality TV at this point." Shameful.
Donald Trump almost ruined America. Let's not give him a second chance to finish the job. Vote for Joe. 💙🇺🇸💙
Happy Sunday, friends. Starting early tomorrow with @Morning_Joe , I’ll be at the courthouse covering Trump’s first criminal trial for @MSNBC. But tomorrow is also when we should get more details about the $175 million bond in the civil fraud case. 1/
