MSNBC· 2025-11-09 20:02
America is still processing what happened on Tuesday, November 4th. A night that rewrote the story of inevitability because what unfolded across this country was not pre-ordained. It was not destiny. It was agency.Your agency that made Tuesday night's victories possible. On Tuesday night, my colleague Nicole Wallace, as part of our election coverage, wore a shirt that said something simple and profound. Democracy isn't a spectator sport.She's right.

Stuart Stevens to Democrats: ‘Get rid of the self-doubt. Walk with a little swagger’

On February the 18th, 1915, President Woodrow Wilson screened a film for senior government officials in the East Room of the White House. It was called The Birth of a Nation, a three-hour piece of propaganda that glorified the Ku Klux Clan and portrayed emancipated black Americans as unworthy of freedom. and marked a chilling inflection point when white nationalism stepped out of the relative shadows and into the center of the federal government.And if that sounds familiar to you, it's because we're watchin ...

'Fire with fire', 'epic trolling': Newsom's California redistricting plan WINS | MSNBC Highlights
MSNBC· 2025-11-07 03:45
For better or for worse, it's not the sort of thing you can fake. There's no substitute, no alternative, no replacement.
