I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

Whoa. Trump says he didn’t sign order re the Alien Enemies Act. But it has his signature. White House quickly scrambles to say “of course “ Trump was referring to —get this—1798 act. Something clearly funky. Maybe they use an auto pen!😉 www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/p...

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Glad Roberts finally weighed in on one of Trump's outrages, but I can't say this makes me sleep better at night. The damage has been done - 137 men are in prison in El Salvador without receiving due process. Will Roberts do something about THAT?

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

@stevevladeck.bsky.social as always has valuable post with quick reaction to Sup Ct opinion. I'm a little more of the glass 1/2 empty school though (it's really just a matter of emphasis)--I think w/ Kavanaugh again w/ the 3, we have a near built-in 4 votes for outlandish Trump conduct down the road

#JonAlter had an excellent suggestion on the @contrariannews.org live coverage of SOTU yesterday. With R advisers telling R members to avoid town halls, there should be an organized effort to hold them anyway, w/ empty chairs for the missing members and the same personal anecdotes of Trump disasters

They only did it for show. Grab some video. Look tough. The cost is astronomical and the impact on military operations ridiculous. So, once again a stupid Trump idea gets quietly rolled back. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

This really tells you all you need to know. They claim to support vets, and they know how to play the game with messaging and symbolism to exploit their patriotism, but every once in a while the mask slips and you see that they really think we’re just suckers and losers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
