@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

I know times are bad because any date from the future (2034, 2078, 2026) sounds like it could be the title of a post-apocalyptic movie.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Pilots should take note to use caution with all upper-level forecast products, including global models and CAMS, the rawinsondes (weather balloons) from Omaha/Valley are not happening, and as such, that data is missing in guidance products. Everything east of 96W affected.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Trump praises Erdogan who has a lot of blackmail on Trump regarding a bribery scheme involving Pam Bondi's former law firm Ballard Partners and Trump, which resulted in the US abandoning the Kurds abruptly after being paid by the Turks. Tells Netanyahu he has "to be reasonable".

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

We just want to say—we’re sorry. We know how emotionally exhausting all of this is, and we truly understand. But you’re not alone. We’re in this together.

This stock market crash thing is so confusing. On one hand you have every economist and bank in the free world freaking out. On the other, there are some blue check accounts on Twitter with ancient statues as their profile pics doing 20 part threads on why down is the new up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I kind of want to go

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

man, honored:

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Give me it. ❤️

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

@sgj.bsky.social As good as the cover is for #BuffaloHunterHunter (and it is), I can imagine a minimalist reissue where the cover features a corrupted egg hitting the ground, the yellow tethered through with red and black. #iykyk

BREAKING: The DC Circuit has *rejected* DOJ's effort to lift Judge Boasberg's block on Alien Enemies Act deportations. Ruling is 2-1, with Judge Walker dissenting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

uhhhh it looks like Dems just flipped a R+17 Pennsylvania State Senate seat in Amish country…

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)

Yes, the Greenland visit looks like a setup. The vice-president goes into one of his rehearsed rages about Europeans not respecting his family or some such. Then Trump demands that the Danes apologize, show respect, etc. But no one buys it since it was all on a published Signal chat the day before…

To those who have not discovered Timothy Snyder - well, and those who have! - here is a good list from his best little book, on tyranny…

UNREAL: DOJ's response to a federal appeals court judge saying that DOJ's argument would mean she could have been picked up and sent to a prison in El Salvador under Trump's order was not: "No, your honor," but rather, "That's not the record here."

Trump claims he didn’t sign the proclamation used to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — but his signature is right there in the Federal Register. So… who is signing these things? And is that even legal? And did he sign any of these executive orders either?

PSA: There is no statute of limitations for tax fraud. When the regime changes, the IRS can come for the money (plus interest and penalties). Forever.

Gee to the You to the Eye Double Elle Oh Tee to the Eye En Eee, come on folks do the 🍽

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

free link a reply or two down:

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

When you look at this crowd AOC is drawing today, here’s the part you should remember. This is Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall. They should all be counting their days in office.
