Im not a big fan of her music, but im definitely a fan of her as a strong independant, beautiful women. Her courage to stand for her values, regardless of the consequences, is something every American should be proud of.

One question for the conspiracy promoters- why didn't you bet your life savings on KC last week?

[gregnoeldavis]

God, I love Lawrence O'Donnell. He is so eloquent and calm and rational in his analyses.

[mikejankowski]

Scary stuff. Thanks for the reporting and analysis.

Taylor Swift is young, female, pretty, talented, rich, liberal, and highly influential--everything that scares the crap out of MAGA males. (I'd hardly call them "men.")

[shelleygebhardt]

This is getting so outrageous. Go Taylor Swift!

Remember when we didn’t have the internet and all these idiots didn’t have an equal platform to use their voice? They have a right to free speech, but we as a society don’t have to listen.

Freedom comes with responsibility, and abusing that responsibility should not be exempt from accountability. Why arent politicians held to higher standards? Even news outlets should be held to higher standards. Any politician and reporter recklessly abusing their freedom of speech through lies should be removed from their position. Otherwise it will continue and get worse. What job or career outside of politics and media keep people neglecting their responsibility?

Yup...Mahomes had nothing to do with the wins ..Andy Reid had nothing to do with the

[lightwillprevail]

Thank you, Lawrence. 💙VOTE BLUE 2024 💙 🌊Riden with Biden 2024🌊

We had a hearing today where the senate grilled solcial media tychoons for hours about how they run their platforms, but why didn't they invite Trump to come talk?

He has a social site full of people that are only there to follow one man. Not to mention how many actively dangerous people are going unmonitored over there. It should seriously be a concern to America.

Taylor Swift rocks !! She is a WONDER, sensitive, beautiful and clever !! Frump is a pos. Lock him up !! ❤❤❤

[blueovaltrucker]

I see fauxsnooze in court again soon. They must really like losing.

If Republicans want musicians and other influential pop culture figures to advocate for them, get better policies.
The GOP is not interested in good policy and popular policy. The party is not interested in winning over more voters.
The GOP is only interested in consolidating power for themselves.

"There is madness in the land...." For real!!🎯 Trump is leading the movement.

[daydreambeliever]

Well I know of a sure fire way to put an immediate end to that type of defamation and stochastic terrorism. I wonder what caliber of lawyer Taylor Swift could afford?

[roserose]

With crazy talk like this, I’m concerned for Miss Swift’s life - and Mr. Kelce’s as well.
