Contrary to what some in the far-right echo chamber have been saying this week, I have not been silenced. I’m right here folks. And I am ready to get started!

So very proud of The Reidout @joy.msnbc.com team, who are truly family, and all of our supporters & friends. See you tomorrow night at 7 ET, one more time ‼️

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Hi everyone, I have a request for you all.

Please follow my page as much as possible. I get my information directly from my CDC sources some were sadly fired last week, but others remain inside, risking everything to keep me informed about Bird Flu.

I report on Bird Flu, COVID-19, Tuberculosis, Measles, and other infectious diseases.

Stay informed and share for public health awareness.

On second thought… perhaps staying under the desk is best for now 🫶 #news

Important Message from Meidas Co-Founder

We are the Senate Democrats. And tonight, we’re going live with

as we work for the American people.

Senate Republicans are about to try to advance a budget resolution that clears the way to cut taxes for Trump’s billionaire buddies.

Democrats are going to expose how Republicans want to gut health care, jobs, public safety, housing, education, and national security.

It’s like they hate math.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

I’ve lost about 1,000 subscribers since I said “Trump is a b*tch” in a post.

But I’ve also made over 3,000 new friends since I said it.

If you agree that Trump’s a b*tch, then subscribe.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Just posted something on how I’m thinking about the path before us. Looking forward to reading your thoughts and ideas.

Someone Told Me I Should Start a Journal

How to brainwash your mind in next 7 days:

  1. Wake up and don't look at your phone for 1 hour.

  2. Drink 3 litres of water every day.

  3. Do your most important task in the morning.

  4. Exercise at least 1 hour per day.

  5. Replace social media with knowledge books.

Full disclosure: feeling very burnt out tonight.

After 3+ months of reporting the news 24/7, I think it finally got to me a bit and put me in the not so greatest head space.

Cancelling our live tonight, and rescheduling it for tomorrow or Friday (TBD). Thank you all for your support and for the community we are building here. I will see you in the morning for a morning update.

Most people avoid curating their feeds because they find it takes too much time, but it takes much more time to waste your life thinking about things that don’t matter to you. Just take a few days to fine-tune who you follow, and you’ll free up years worth of attention.

Impostor syndrome is a paradox:

-Others believe in you

-You don't believe in yourself

-Yet you believe yourself instead of them

If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself? When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them.

Whenever you feel you are “too late,” try this very cool perspective shift.

  • “I'm 37. Instead of regretting that I can't wake up age 18 again, I pretend to myself that I'm 90 and I've woken up age 37 again, and that I get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.” - bluewmist

You are never too late - get excited about what you can do today.
