I have not been personally affected by the plan for this meeting but I think the tech companies should be very wary of associating themselves closely with an administration which has demonstrated contempt for science.

This is a person who did the right thing for the right reasons. She was not violent. Did she commit a crime? There is more evidence that Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions committed crimes than anything Reality Winner has done. The administration will try to sweep her under the carpet. I ask you, my fellow citizens of this country, to support, uphold and dignify this young woman as the heroine that she is.

Donald Trump and those around him have sought to undermine the institutions of our democracy in ways we've never seen before. Our nation's founders made sure that the Constitution contained a check on a president who abused power and broke the law. The Mueller Report and Robert Mueller's testimony confirmed that Trump has not been exonerated and that there are open matters of obstruction of justice that only Congress can pursue. Trump also withheld funds appropriated by Congress from Ukraine to pressure Ukraine's president to aid in Trump's re-election—and suppressed the whistleblower complaint about these crimes. A partial summary of a phone call was released by the White House this morning confirming Trump's attempt to seek foreign assistance in his political campaign by smearing a political rival. He even encouraged the Ukrainian president to work with both the government's attorney general and Trump's personal attorney. We will not treat this as normal. And politicians in Washington must not continue to conduct business as usual. Everyone in Congress must look in the mirror and decide how they will fulfill their oath to defend our Constitution—and which side of history they want to be on. If they fail to do so, millions of MoveOn members across the country will hold them accountable.

New Jersey’s local media is in crisis and — if we act fast — the state legislature can actually do something to fix it. Right now the legislature is deciding how to spend hundreds of millions in revenue from the sale of its old public-media licenses. Lawmakers are hoping you aren't paying attention, so now is the time to sound the alarm: These funds must go directly to rebuilding community media. The Civic Information Consortium — Assembly Bill A4933 and Senate Bill S3033 — would unite journalists, organizers, tech companies and higher education to fund projects aimed at providing our communities with quality information and impactful reporting. Every community deserves a voice. How can we improve schools, fix public works, hold elected officials accountable and be better neighbors when we don’t even know what’s happening on our block?(1) Local media — when it’s done right — makes it happen. But many of New Jersey’s local journalists have lost their jobs. Their newsrooms have shut down. Most towns get a constant loop of Philadelphia and New York City news instead of their own. Some get nothing at all. New Jersey deserves better media — tell the legislature to pass the Civic Info Bill today. -------------------- 1.

I don't believe Hank Williams Jr. should be allowed to represent the NFL . I will not watch MNF If he is allowed back .

I was so sad about the end. Don't leave us hanging! From Gregor fans everywhere

I believe in separation of church and state and this legislation passed to allow "pro-life" license plates without the counter more widely supported viewpoint is unacceptable.

The next FBI director must be someone who has the trust and respect of Americans across the political spectrum, and it is critical that this person be seen as above political in-fighting. Joe Lieberman is not that person. The job of FBI director should not go to a politician, but rather to an experienced professional who can help steer the agency in their tumultuous time. Furthermore, Lieberman has show repeatedly during his political career that he lacks the fortitude to do what is right in challenging political times. It is critically important to fill the vacant FBI Director post, but Joe Lieberman is the worst possible candidate for this role. Tell your Senators to vote "No" if Lieberman's nomination ever comes before the Senate.

Former FBI Director James Comey has publicly come forward saying that Donald Trump asked him to stop an investigation into Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn's connections to Russia. If the reports are true, this is clear obstruction of justice—and the integrity of democratic institutions is at risk. Now, even some Republicans in Congress have begun to say these revelations might warrant impeachment. As the news continues to show more and more improper—and possibly illegal—conduct from Donald Trump's White House, it's more important than ever for us to raise our voices and demand action.

MSNBC IS TURNING OUR PROGRESSIVE NEWS CHANNEL INTO ANOTHER RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVE NEWS CHANNEL LIKE FOX NEWS!

To put pressure on MSNBC to renew contract for one of its best journalists: Lawrence O'Donnell.

We need to have a progressive media answer to Fox. In recent weeks they have hired or promoted some decidedly right-wing personalities. Former Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren now has her own show on MSNBC. Former communications director for George W, Bush, Nicolle Wallace, also just premiered a new program. Likewise conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt. This week MSNBC announced that it has hired old-school conservative George Will away from Fox News.
