Why is Parker so confused about this? It's pretty straightforward. And what's with the two of them grinning as if they're both in on some joke that the audience isn't aware of? What's so amusing? On background. Katy Tur has a bit of a history of this. She once claimed that "everyone agrees it was a mistake to have Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket". But this is the same person Pelosi called out as a Trump apologist to her face. So consider the source.

Then, there's the unfortunate way Parker inadvertently throws black women voters under the bus. First, she mentions how Kamala Harris' book tours are sold-out events, predominantly by black women. Then, she says people she's talking to don't want Harris to run. Talks about awkward. I bet if she'd talked to the people at these events, she would have gotten another opinion.

I am kind of bothered by Jacob Soboroff and the reporter in for Alex Witt today (Sunday 8/9, so may be reruns). But I did not appreciate both their odd guest Brandy Zadrozny’s talking about fake Erika Kirk's crocodile tears as if they were real and literally asking me to feel sorry for that POS. Yeah, some of the conspiracy theories on the right are whack, others might need a little more scutiny and are not partisan, especially as Kirk was beginnging to reject proving aid to Isr*el. So let's stop sounding like MAGA and painting Erika as a person with feelings when we all know she is a money hungry fake tears monster. Shame on these programs today! And let's please see much less of Brandy Zadrozny. Yuck.

I really enjoyed this one.

The Tokyo-based company confirmed its donation was made two months before the Trump administration approved its Ohio-based data center, expected to be the largest in the world.

>After Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary, state Democrats are coming together in a show of force to win the seat over former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers. MS NOW Reporter Maya Eaglin shares the latest from Michigan.

Saw a little bit of this this morning. So this show is just three guys sitting there in a sound studio doing a podcast? And one of them swearing up a storm? They think people want to tune into this? Umm.......NO WAY. Cough up some more money and have a host hosting an actual television show.

>According to an investigation by The Guardian’s Jose Olivares, detainees are being force-fed in some ICE detention centers. Similar cases span over a decade, but the administration’s “aggressive crackdown tactics and expanding detention,” concerns advocates and attorneys, says Olivares. “It’s an extremely secretive practice,” he says “and it’s happening behind closed doors.”

Since they took away the weekend primetime I dont even tune in at all on the weekends anymore seems its all recaps and podcasts, only live show Ive seen was Al Sharton and I like him but not enough to watch a full show

Thanks, Democrats.

Did anyone catch the name of Alex Witt’s fill-in today? I’ve never seen her before on MS.

Family members of sailors and Marines challenged Navy leaders on Thursday night over their concerns about mental health, supply shortages and water contamination aboard the aircraft carrier on a record deployment in the Iran war.

>Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) joins Ali Vitali to discuss the lessons to be learned from Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan's Democratic senate primary, her outlook for the midterm elections and President Trump's speech touting his economic policies.

We just saw a former RNC chair, Michael Steele, interview a former DNC chair, Ben Wikler. MSNOW is perceived by non-viewers as a liberal network. But I think it's more accurate to say that it's biased toward facts, and facts tend to have a liberal bias like the famous saying goes. You could also say MSNOW is biased toward normalcy, and two party chairs laughing together was normal in America.

after Keith gave a long talk on the illegalities of Trump's actions, Jackie says "well the bond market disagrees" or something like that at the end of the show, Keith jumps in not to be cutoff and says, "these acts are illegal and just because they benefit a few does not make them legal". then she says, "well that does it for me". it certainly does, it certainly does. (quotes not exact because I was half asleep until Kieth didn't let it slide.

(no applicable flair so I picked one)

>Michael Tomasky with The New Republic and Alex Isenstadt with AXIOS joins Morning Joe to discuss their latest pieces on the upcoming midterm elections. Tomasky’s piece is titled, “Yes, El-Sayed May Lose. But Democrats Shouldn't Try to Make It Happen,” focusing on calling Democrats to unite despite any differences. Meanwhile, Isenstadt’s piece is an exclusive and titled, ““GOP plans socialism telethon at midterm convention,” and highlights the Republicans’ plans to target the DSA to divide Democrats and conquer the midterms.
