Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

“Poor man wanna be rich. Rich man wanna be king. The king ain’t satisfied ‘til he rules everything.”—Springsteen, Badlands

This tweet — sent several weeks ago — by acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin is being spotlighted by Senate Democrats who are trying to stop his confirmation. “Trump’s lawyers”.. not “Americans’ lawyers”

"Christians who sought asylum from persecution by the Taliban are being told they must leave immediately or be deported. "The news came in an email to a group living legally in north Raleigh... Apostles Church in Raleigh had welcomed them after the Taliban took over... www.wral.com/story/they-f...

Our own @stuartpstevens.bsky.social has a message for Democrats: stop treating this like politics as usual. Our Democracy is being eroded, so wake up and fight before it’s too late. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/to-democra...

oh.

IN EL SALVADOR: Senator Van Hollen says Trump is in violation of court orders — and is paying El Salvador to imprison an innocent man. (And #KilmarÁbregoGarcía is not the only one)

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

👇

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names. You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop? That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Maddow: They cannot defend what they're doing, they cannot commit to what they're doing, but they also can't even reverse what they're doing when they try to reverse it because they are so incompetent, they can't even fail properly

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Listen to the full quote and it’s completely incoherent nonsense.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

We've got the numbers. #HandsOff

🤣🤣🤣

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Over 1500 folks for Hands Off in Williamsburg VA. Flippers Up!

cheese is woke now

That was fast! Have some extra cheese on us, Wisconsin 💪🏽 🧀

Midterms can’t come soon enough.

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

“You are meant to feel powerless. That is what a strongman wants: to make you feel as if nothing can stop the takeover of your country.” But we are not helpless — unless we act that way, as too many of us are sadly doing. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/o...
