Breaking news . Trump says the US has control of the skies over Iran.

jfc Lander, as he's being cuffed: "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens. You don't have the — I'm not obstructing; I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. [...] You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant."

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

The EPA ordered the virtual elimination of a 15-year-old federal program that requires thousands of power plants, oil refineries, cement factories and other large industrial facilities to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions, according to two people briefed on the decision.

I keep thinking about how women are most at risk of being murdered by abusive men after they've decided to leave the relationship and it's not exactly a subtle comparison to what's being done to the USA at the moment

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!

Former Democratic House Rep. Katie Porter has announced her run for governor in California. She will reportedly drop out of the race if Kamala Harris announces a bid.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

A bit of a departure from landscapes for #throwbackthursday. These images are from the George Floyd protests in Kansas City. I fear we'll be seeing more scenes like this in opposition to the Trump regime in the future. #protest #photojournalism #blackandwhite #bnw

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it. This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

No matter what happens tonight, the sun will rise tomorrow.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now. The White House is a full-time Kremlin propaganda operation..there's a real probability American troops are going to have fight abroad to protect the global world order & our allies & perhaps American sovereignty itself"

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Seen in Brooklyn this AM: an egged cybertruck with a bag of dogshit and also unbagged dogshit

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world. www.marytrump.org/p/what-it-co...

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

He who saves his country violates no laws.

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

NPR's Scott Simon remembers Russian opposition leader Alexi Navalny, who died a year ago Sunday in a Russian prison.

Keith Haring died of AIDS, aged 31, on this day in 1990. While best known for his cartoonish Pop-inspired style, early on he made some absolutely savage Xerox collage works that are the kinds of artworks we need right now

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

We are nearing a precipice.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Good morning. Sending LOVE
