I’m outraged by the news that @MSNBC is ending @TiffanyDCross’ brilliant show #CrossConnection. It’s the highest-rated weekend show. Tiffany’s departure looks even funnier in the light because it comes after she rightly criticized white supremacist poster boy Tucker Carlson.
To make this move a few days before the critical mid-terms is just unacceptable. There is a larger issue of strong Black pundits, especially women, lacking the internal support to thrive.
Supporting strong Black voices is not for the weak. Too often that support goes missing as soon as it becomes too threatening to the entrenched hierarchy. Tiffany is excellent at her job. I know she’ll shine brighter. But what MSNBC has done is absolutely cowardly and shameful.

January 6 was a failed attempt to overthrow American democracy.

By purging Liz Cheney, the Republican Party completed its transformation into a fascist, Authoritarian cult.

OUR DUTY as Americans is to DEFEND DEMOCRACY and #RejectGOPFascism. @MeidasTouch
“I am sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today.”

That evergreen sentence was uttered by Fritz Scheller, lawyer for Joel Greenberg, associate of Matt Gaetz (Q-FL), on April 8, 2021:
“One of the most influential Dark Money groups in Republican circles is WRITING VOTER SUPPRESSION LAWS IN SECRET to make it harder for Black, Brown, and Young people to be able to VOTE.” @AriBerman to @chrislhayes

“Keep pointing this out.” @brooklynmarie

“I want people to understand the significance of January 6… I want people to understand that thousands of rioters came to the Capitol hell-bent on violence and destruction and murder." DC Metro Police Officer Michael Fanone 4/27/21 @donlemon @CNNTonight

“The President* of the United States sending an angry violent mob to disrupt proceedings at the Capitol cannot stand… This is not something we can look past or pretend didn’t happen or move on… We’ve got to make sure this never happens again.” Liz Cheney

“I inherited a nation in crisis. The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War… After just 100 days — America is on the move again. Turning peril into possibility.”

President Biden’s acting AG received a memo in 2017, first reported by @skirchy, that would have made him aware of Trump family separations long before it was known publicly. Memo resulted in transfer of prosecutor who raised concerns. With @JuliaEAinsley. nbcnews.com/politics/immig…
President Biden has said he is committed to reuniting migrant families separated by Trump and is expected to announce a task force to do so in the coming days. He also said his DOJ would conduct a “thorough, thorough investigation” into potential criminality of the policy.
White House declined comment on whether Biden transition knew about Acting AG Monty Wilkinson’s role in prosecutor's transfer. DOJ says office Wilkinson led at the time “plays an administrative role related to the associated paperwork but does not make decisions on assignments.”
