Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth, who is facing scrutiny over his handling of details of a #military strike, brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings w/ #foreign military counterparts where sensitive info was discussed. bit.ly/3Y2YnVZ

Bill Maher: “A cult is really a cult when the leader asks you to turn on friends and family…Which brings me to America, suddenly saying to our closest friend in the world, you know what? ‘Fu*k Canada,’ for no particular reason…”

"You see Elon is from South Africa. His family left when they did away with apartheid. He doesn’t understand r country or what makes it tick. When he claims on Fox News he’s leading a “revolution,” he doesn’t understand that we take that shit pretty seriously. " www.thealtmedia.com/p/elons-amer...

The Pentagon is about to brief Elon Musk on the US military’s plan for a potential war with China. This means that Musk now has access to the country’s most important military secrets.

Another out of touch billionaire who doesn’t understand struggles of Americas seniors - color me not shocked

🚨🚨🚨"Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin . . . the country that has supported Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. During one of their conversations, Putin asked Musk not to activate a Starlink internet satellite above Taiwan as a favor to Chinese President Xi Jinping."

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

That says it all.

"Edmunds found that March 2025 represents the 'highest ever share' on record of Tesla trade-ins... "Teslas accounted for 1.4% of the cars traded in through March 15, up nearly 300% from the same month last year, when just 0.4% of trade-ins were Teslas..." www.huffpost.com/entry/tesla-...

@maddow.msnbc.com What excuse did Trump use to enact his Emergency Declaration? That let him destabilize the economy and markets with his tyranny of tariffs? What emergency? Because I’m pretty sure there was none, side from the self-fulfilling prophesy of another four years of this BS.

When Linda Trump and McMahon fired the 1300 Dept of Education workers according to the Union Rep there, they were mostly minorities and women, leaving mostly only white men— a civil rights law suite should be in the works right about now. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

@arimelber.bsky.social The willy-nilly destruction of all manner of data at USAID has to be patently unlawful. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

@arimelber.bsky.social Abut the Musk Rat. Case in point: When business slows and layoffs are immanent, they don’t lay off the direct employees first! They lay off the contractors. And only after that do they even begin to consider direct employees. It’s just a common sense, of which he has none.

@egwriter.bsky.social Ugly Americans Vance and Trumps’ televised attack on Zelensky today only served to demonstrate the Administration’s embrace of tyranny and contempt for Ukraine’s defense of freedom. We are witnessing the descent of our own government into a premeditated Fascist Dictatorship.

BREAKING: With two more planes falling out of the sky in Arizona, Medicaid in danger, and prices for eggs skyrocketing, Trump is enjoying his third weekday in a row playing golf with the country in chaos. Imagine the outrage if President Biden did this.

@maddow.msnbc.com Walmart has more employees than the US Federal Government. Walmart 2.3 million total with the majority in the US. The US Government 2.1 million, per 2023 estimates.

Another great discussion led by @stephruhle.bsky.social

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

At the end of his CPAC speech, Steve Bannon exclaimed “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, raised his arm in a brief Nazi salute gesture, brought his arm down, nodded his head at the crowd, and then said, “Amen!”

@maddow.msnbc.com What Doge is doing around DEI is unlawful, and it would seem they are the ones committing fraud and abuse by their own unlawful actions www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Regarding Trump’s sycophantic cabinet appointments, he likely calculated this menagerie of weirdos who would not dare to try and remove him from office.

Please please please pass this along

Trump: Russia First!
