Things are heating up 🫡

45 years ago tonight, the last episode to feature members of the original cast of SNL aired. And it ended with a banger. Lord and Lady Douchebag. 😂😂

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Boycott any company that sponsors. Let make sure it’s just Balance of nature, my pillow and relief factor and whatever else Foxnews one

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.

“‘I was put in a cell, and I had to sleep on a mat with no blanket, no pillow, with an aluminum foil wrapped over my body like a dead body for two and a half days.’”

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

Little man just stole my heart! 😂💙

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Just rewatched this dark comedy masterpiece. Doing so during these terrifyingly absurdist times gives the film a different though still relevant context, and it provides an opportunity to laugh at its (and our current) madness. #Trump #politics

A 10-year-old U.S. citizen girl recovering from brain cancer, was detained at an immigration checkpoint while heading to an emergency medical checkup and promptly deported. Thanks to Trump and Musk. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

I founded and chair an "elite law firm" and we are not in retreat. I have spoken with many other "elite" firm leaders that are staffing up. What the WSJ means is large corporate law firms. Please do not confuse quality with cowardice.

What a glow 🤩

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.

😂😅

For those who wanted to share this video off platform. Here it is on YouTube youtu.be/OiPa9VY9PH8?...

The Pentagon’s deputy press secretary is an overt internet troll with a long history of bigoted, xenophobic, and deliberately provocative shit-posting.

Trump’s Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered the US Cyber Command to ‘Stand Down’ on all Russia operations, offensive and defensive. Leaving millions vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks.

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

this week's cover is on point ht: @jamiegangel.bsky.social

The laws don't apply to the president's friends in corrupt Russian-aligned authoritarian states

I miss DEI

“The choice of Mr. Bongino is a radical and abrupt departure from that practice and raises startling questions about how two people who have never served as F.B.I. agents will oversee the vast surveillance and investigative powers of an agency of 38,000 people…” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
