Opinion | Trump's claim that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon included an obvious tell Jarvis DeBerry: Trump’s use of “two weeks” is enough by itself to warrant our skepticism.

"We have every right to be angry at Trump using his 'two weeks' jibber-jabber to talk about something as gravely serious as war."

Sir Mix-a-Lot must be somewhere weeping. Can't reach everybody, I guess.

I know it was. Because I watched about a season or so for the first time. You can check and see if it still is.

I think it was Pryor who said that most comics take the stage and hope the audience likes them. Flip would take the stage and the audience would hope he liked them.

Anyway, "The Flip Wilson Show" is on Prime if you've got it.

Authorities release images of masked person at Guthrie home The person wearing gloves, a ski mask and a backpack was also armed, law enforcement officials said in asking the public’s help.

And we're being told that it's appropriate for federal agents to walk around dressed like this.

Opinion | Trump's latest smear of Renee Good Jarvis DeBerry: It shouldn't have to be said, but activism is not a crime.

I remember that awful day in school. It was '86, though.

It's against the laws of physics.

I hear Prince and Rosie when I see this. You hear them or Sinead?

Opinion | For America's 250th birthday, Trump plans to celebrate himself Jarvis DeBerry: Trump is indifferent to the anti-monarchist spirit of 1776

"The Trump administration, dedicated to the proposition that any comprehensive history of the U.S. amounts to godless DEI, has resisted minting coins celebrating the pluribus in our unum — even as it plans a coin celebrating Trump."

Louisiana is going to have so much fun with T-publicans.

Jailhouse lawyer’s election win should prompt some uncomfortable questions You can’t have a penal system as merciless as ours and not rob the outside world of people as talented as Calvin Duncan, the newly elected clerk of criminal court in New Orelans.

Calvin Duncan is innocent. But I'm hoping his story can change the way we think about people who aren't.

Opinion | Forcing its employees to smile won't fix Target's problem The Minneapolis-based retailer isn’t suffering lower sales because its employees are rude but because it disrespected a significant portion of its customer base.

My appreciation to @allyfromnola.bsky.social for chatting with me about mandatory smile policies like the one Target is adopting: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

You're right. Thank you.

Thanks for the great documentary, @maddow.msnbc.com!

Opinion | As cities grow safer, gun violence spikes in rural America The Hospitality State accounts for half of the 10 U.S. counties with the highest gun homicide rates. Nine deaths after homecoming games last week cast new light on the crisis.

Mississippi will always be home. It hurts to see what's happening there.

Yea, "Send It On" is fire. And don't forget that languid bassline in "One Mo'Gin."

If you weren't there in '95 when "Brown Sugar" landed like an earth-shattering meteor, it's hard to make you understand D'Angelo's impact. He was old school and innovative, a student of the greats but seemingly fully formed and wise. Listen to this genius.

Opinion | ‘Reading Rainbow’ returns to a country far more hostile to books — and diversity "Reading Rainbow" returns after 19 years and, fittingly, lands a day before 2025's "Banned Books Week."

“When Burton was hosting the show, there did not appear to be many people arguing against the idea of introducing children to books by authors of different colors, cultures, ethnicities and experiences.” My column at @msnbc.com www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Trump doesn't have to fire federal workers in a shutdown. He wants to. If previous government shutdowns didn’t result in massive layoffs, then there’s no reason this one should.

OPINION by @jarvisdeberry.bsky.social:

“To reduce government programs, as Trump did, to 'things Democrats like' is to disregard the real needs such programs address.”

The pure unbridled joy and excitement that recording captures is top notch. Also, I wish there were somebody who could explain why the soul clap has the effect it has on the crowd and the individuals in it.

"The Ghetto," esp. the live version. "This is it!"

Opinion | Donald Trump’s anti-DEI madness erases Black service members, living and dead When you don’t acknowledge that people are different you get the “interim guidance” announced by the Marines this month that would disproportionately expel Black Marines.

I wrote this in March when Hegseth announced his obviously racist policy of getting rid of Marines with chronic razor bumps.

Opinion | 'Debate me' bros were rightly rejected at Tennessee State The best way to respond to bad-faith arguments is to ignore them.

"It’s a shame that since Kirk’s death, arguing in bad faith has become characterized as virtuous and edifying. It’s not. And it’s not beneficial to try to rebut people making bad faith arguments." My column at @msnbc.com

Opinion | We could already see Trump's hate for his opponents Trump’s admission that he hates his opponents calls into question the Christianity he professes but, as importantly, it shows he doesn't believe he’s everybody’s president.

Trump saying he hates his opponents belies the faith he claims. But more importantly for the country, it's his acknowledgement that he doesn't think of himself as everybody's president. Read me at @msnbc.com:

Do you know Pryor’s joke about the Osmond Brothers?

Opinion | The racist church massacre that our FBI director couldn’t bother remembering FBI Director Kash Patel's testimony Wednesday reflected the Trump administration’s callous disregard for news that doesn’t jibe with the story of America it wants to tell.

Kash Patel not knowing Dylann Roof's name "not only typifies a general incompetence among Trump’s Cabinet, it exemplifies the administration’s disregard for news that doesn’t jibe with the story of America it wants to tell." My column at @msnbc.com

I appreciate y'all including me. Many thanks.

Opinion | Why Christians are fighting over Charlie Kirk Since the Turning Point USA founder was shot dead Wednesday, Sept. 10, there’s been a segment of Christians categorizing him as a Christian martyr.

"Despite professing the same faith, Black and white Protestant Christians in the U.S. often have near opposite worldviews." My column at @MSNBC on the resistance to attempts to venerate Charlie Kirk.
