BREAKING: Trump's Alien Enemies Act Proclamation is "unlawful," a federal judge in Texas ruled. That judge was appointed by Trump. Ruling: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Background www.allrisenews.com/p/aea-inquis...

'Arbitrary, Outlandish, and Unjustified': Raskin Warns Trump Against Invoking Insurrection Act www.commondreams.org/news/trump-i...

@nedprice.bsky.social: "Was this the only Signal chat? Was there a China Signal chat? Was there a Russia Signal chat? Was there an Iran Signal chat? What has this group of individuals, who displayed rank incompetence not to mention laziness... divulged on other scores?"

BREAKING: The Trump administration has detained another international student—this time from the University of Alabama and without providing any justification. All are assaults on free speech and are blatant violations of immigration law.

Delaware Democrats just caved to corporations and billionaire CEOs. SB 21, ghostwritten by Tesla and Meta lawyers, makes it harder to hold corporations accountable for a range of misconduct. As billionaires destroys the federal government, why are state Dems playing along?

From the good news department: Thanks to the support of thousands of Poles, Slawek Sierakowski and I have reached the goal of funding one armored ambulance for Ukrainian medics — in one day. Today starting the drive for a second. Please help. donorbox.org/armored-mede...

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them. It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?

I really wish people would care about Trump using Pinochet's tactics to disappear people for speaking their mind.

We should compare Social Security, which has never missed a payment since its inception, to Tesla's stock price.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Pass it on: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Reports of our demise might have been premature

I enthusiastically endorse Diane Seltzer for DC Bar President. The election is coming up soon. If you are a DC Bar member please make sure to vote for her!

Fact-check: True

Imagine if Joe Biden had reposted a liberal pundit saying ‘shut up about gas prices’ in 2022. It would have led the news, all of the news, for days, weeks, on end.

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

If anything is gonna make me root for the @Eagles — declining yet another visit to the Trump WH will. 🦅💚

🇦🇺🇺🇦🇳🇿Australia and New Zealand have imposed the largest package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, targeting 70 individuals and 79 organisations. ♥️THANK YOU AUSTRALIA ♥️THANK YOU NEW ZEALAND

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

What happens when Felon Trump and President Musk ignore the Federal Court Orders or Injunctions? Will the Trump Justice Department enforce them? If not, what then?

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

Republicans in Congress would rather stay on the sidelines than take a hit. youtu.be/_A02tjjFfd8

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

New on @MSNBC: Some U.S. Agency for International Development and State Dept. career employees are concerned information in their personal devices may be being monitored. The employees received pop-ups in the last few days warning them that info on their personal phones or laptops could be tracked.
