Jen Psaki

These survivors and their family members are stronger and more courageous and better at speaking publicly than the overwhelming majority of people in public office. This is so incredibly powerful.

It is incredibly rare and courageous for a career official to resign and speak out. Michael Feinberg was an FBI official until last week. He joins me tonight. Lots of qs. And he wrote this eye popping piece about what happened: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/good...

Always a sign of strength when you start attacking your own supporters…just kind of a dead give away.

The backdrop of speech tonight is Trump’s top advisor just eviscerated him and his agenda on the record, lowest approval ratings on the economy of his presidency, jack smith is destroying him today, House Rs just signed a discharge petition on healthcare and the epstein files are due tomorrow

When the Epstein files enter the chat…you know the bromance may actually be over…

Even as we are all wading through a massive fire hose of news….and figuring out what matters and what doesn’t…the takeover of the treasury dept payment system by Musk posse is one we should pay attention to.

Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.

Ok moms and dads. This one is rage inducing. Mike Johnson shut the floor down for a week to prevent a bill that would have allowed proxy voting for new parents in congress (meaning when a parent is on leave with a newborn a colleague can cast the vote for them)

Chaotic and cruel Friday today. Really hard to watch that video of a 16 year old being slammed to the ground by ICE agents, Newark mayor arrested (had every right to be there) Stephen Miller musing about gets g rid of habeas corpus. We will talk about all of it at 9pm.

Governor Pritzker unapologetically calls it like he sees it from how rigged the system is for working people to how to simplify the economic message any number of Trump’s failures. (And more malort…a Chicago icon) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Yes, the System is Rigged, with Gov. JB Pritzker

Podcast Episode · The Blueprint with Jen Psaki · 02/24/2025 · 44m

Remember when Grassley was actually a defender of whistleblowers….

This is a part of the “big beautiful bill” that has not received nearly enough attention. The ACA enhanced premium tax credits have lowered the cost of healthcare for millions. These will expire this year and this bill does not extend them. Here is more www.americanprogress.org/article/5-wa...

5 Ways the ACA’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits Have Improved Health Coverage Affordability and Access

Enhanced financial help has made ACA coverage more affordable for millions of people, but without an extension beyond 2025, these gains will be reversed.

Coming up at 8pm. Will talk about all the reasons why the tariffs are not fine and talk with Senator Warren about that. Plus Rep. Raskin and one of the former DOJ lawyers who was fired and testified today.

The glad handing with Putin and riding in the presidential limo together and laughing is quite a start here…

This day was about empowerment of incredible survivors and we are going to spend a lot of the show talking with the family of Virginia Giuffre, with @pressley.house.gov and sharing some of the many powerful moments today. @ossoff.bsky.social will also be here to talk about vaccines, CDC & RFK Jr

So…worried about fentanyl entering US but not about preventing overdoses…https://www.cbsnews.com/news/overdose-deaths-narcan-naloxone-harm-reduction-samhsa-trump-cuts/

As overdose deaths fall, Trump administration proposes cuts to lifesaving Narcan program

A recent dip in overdose deaths​ has been credited in part to wider naloxone access.

I mean….gaslighting at its finest…from the NYT “In announcing the pause, the White House repeatedly tried to suggest it was part of a premeditated strategy…Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, said it was Mr. Trump’s “strategy all along.”

You know when you are in a movie and there are so many previews about movies on a bunch of different topics and you almost forget what movie you are there to see…that is what it feels like watching this trump speech (and really any trump speech)

Trump and his minions have been caught in quite a few lies today…about everything from Iran strikes to the big ugly bill…will roll through as many as I can. And talk about why he may have been so cranky. Will also talk about how Stephen Miller is making money off of his cruel immigration policies.

Welp..https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2025/06/04/trump-health-inspection-violations-golf-club-bedminster/

Trump Golf Club Received 18 Health Code Violations In May Inspection

The club received a score of 32 out of 100, with nine critical violations, including food contamination risks and hand-washing sinks lacking soap or paper towels.

it’s hard to look away from Musk v Trump feud…but this guy appears to be in charge of a program focused on preventing terrorism…and we have the guy who resigned a few months ago who was actually qualified for the job on tonight to talk about the impact www.propublica.org/article/trum...

“The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention

Will be talking about what’s happening in this photo in just a few minutes

For anyone who thinks there was no difference between the candidates on foreign policy. (Very much not the case) Trump just made clear he thinks Palestinians should leave Gaza and a Putin apologist is well on her way to overseeing US intelligence. A banner day!

We are going to dig into what the heck is happening right now with Trump and Musks FBI purge, takeover of government payment system, tariffs and more…on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com at 12pm ET
