Rachel Maddow reacts to President Biden withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race. “What a man. What a patriot. What an act of selfless devotion to your country.”
“What they want least of all is to realize that half the country went to bed sad tonight but then woke up tomorrow fired up with a new sense of purpose knowing that apparently this is what we’re on this Earth to do as American citizens in this generation.” … “They are going to do the things they can do easily and they will have to put off the things that turn out to be hard. So what’s going to be hard for them? That’s where the American people come in.”
During a press conference last week, Former President Donald Trump lied about being in a near-fatal helicopter crash with Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. When asked about Trump’s retelling of the story, Brown said, “He’s dreaming.” #trump #donaldtrump #news #politics #election2024 #sanfrancisco
Donald Trump doesn’t think he needs to win the vote to win the election. He doesn’t think he needs to win the election in order to take power. He thinks something other than votes is going to determine whether or not he gets back in the White House.
Donald Trump, Egypt, $10 million and a lot of questions we’ll likely never learn the answers to.
The qualifications portion of a Rachel Maddow Public Servant Announcement is always fun. If you’ve missed any so far, we made a YouTube playlist at http://MSNBC.com/PublicServantAnnouncement More on the way!

Oh? They want to talk about nepotism and abuse of the presidential pardon power?
How odd that right-wing media suddenly lost interest in this story…
In footage obtained and published by ProPublica, 29 former Trump staffers are featured in training videos created by Project 2025 for new members of a future Trump administration, with some of them claiming to be a part of the team from its early stages. The training videos shed doubt on the former president’s claim of ignorance when it comes to the creators and development of the controversial political playbook.
Donald Trump opted out of intelligence briefings, which may be for the best, except that not being well informed hasn’t held him back from making bombastic pronouncements.
Power battles between ultra rich oligarchs can seem like entertainment, until you consider the damage they’re doing to the government we all rely on.
JD Vance is proposing deporting 25% of the population of the United States? 83 million people are the crisis that Trump-Vance intends to clean up?
Rachel Maddow on violence in the political arena: “It’s anti-American, it has to stop, and it’s super dangerous for everybody involved.” #Colbert #RachelMaddow @maddowshow
Why Trump-style corruption is bad and makes governments suck – Rachel Maddow explains why Donald Trump’s family favors, grift, conflicts of interest, and uninhibited mix of money and politics are more than just inappropriate or in violation of some esoteric ethics code, but actually have real-world consequences for how government functions (or doesn’t).

Maybe Donald Trump is just confused and lost track of his own previous positions on these things, but we’re detecting a less flattering pattern.
Rachel Maddow breaks down the media’s coverage of Trump: “When you say all of these things that are completely off the chart in terms of radicalism and bizarreness, then every new, bizarre thing needs to hit this really high bar to count as news.”
As much as it might seem like the attention on Trump’s racist lies about Haitian immigrants is a bad thing for him, consider how well it’s serving him in distracting from his other failings. “This is a tactic. We were supposed to get better at not having our chains yanked.” Find Rachel Maddow clips on YouTube at MSNBC.com/Rachel
Pam Bondi did not have a formal role in the first Trump administration, but her ties to Trump run deep. And for his new term she is his (second) choice to serve at attorney general. Watch the rest of this Pam Bondi Public Servant Announcement and other profiles of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks for his new term at MSNBC.com/PublicServantAnnouncement.
Maddow: “Everybody in politics, no matter where you are ideologically, must unite around the idea that violence is unacceptable.”
With JD Vance’s well-established opposition to porn, you’d think he’d have a stronger opinion about North Carolina Republican Mark Robinson. But then maybe he’s anticipating the porn industry’s influence, which is apparently about to be brought to bear. With the race this close, it could make the difference.
JD Vance may be a slicker debater, but he lost the debate and his lie about his support for a national abortion ban is going to follow him for the rest of the campaign.
It’s one thing to entertain fringe conspiracy theories and anti-science views. It’s another matter to put those views into dangerous practice.
Voting feels great! Highly recommended! No feeling quite like it! #decision2024 https://nbcnews.com/planyourvote
