At least 20 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just this night by Russian missiles and drones. Hundreds of soldiers were killed on the frontline in recent days. These are the first results of the US suspension of military aid and intelligence to Ukraine: more deaths time.com/7265679/sate...

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Imagine if the most prominent member of the Biden administration had reposted, in agreement, someone calling a prominent GOP senator a ‘retard’. Would have been the end of the world, biggest scandal ever. The asymmetry in American politics continues to grow. Just wild to see.

About who to take literally or seriously: Trump has been speaking literally since he came down the escalator. What he was saying was so outrageous that most people couldn’t believe that. But anyone who still doesn’t get it? Don’t take them seriously.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Everyone who cares about the Constitution needs to read this. DOGE has restructured the Treasury Dept to automatically block payments by federal agencies that do not align with EOs, impounding federal funds appropriated by Congress. This is a Constitutional crisis. @nathantankus.bsky.social

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Today, tons of Marylanders rallied at the Lincoln Memorial with Dr. Francis Collins, Bill Nye the Science Guy and thousands of others to tell MAGA to let our expert civil servant scientists get back to work, pursuing facts and conducting critical research for the common good.

At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the entire Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit. This will cause needless suffering.

If there is a recession, it will not have been caused by complex fluctuations in the economy. It will have been caused by Trump’s intentionally reckless chaos. Presidents rarely have this direct responsibility for economic cycles but this would be an exception.

This is the most chilling article I've read, well, ever. Within 90 days, for example (or sooner) Social Security recipients will likely see delays receiving their monthly checks. It will affect over 70 million Americans, more than half of which need this to survive. That's just part of it:

It is the most ancient and universal form of discrimination. Despite the fact that women have proven themselves in every walk of life, nowhere do we have full gender equality. Sadly, we are witnessing backsliding in many countries. On International Women's Day, let's stand in solidarity with women.

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

Some of us have been saying this since 2020 and even before: Dems should make corruption the central issue in US politics and public life and go on the offensive against GOP/MAGA/Trump transparent and hypocritical corruption and grifting. Most voters hate corruption.

Trump inherited an economy that was firing on all cylinders. Now, just weeks into his tenure, the outlook is far gloomier -- and the sudden deterioration is due almost entirely to his policies and the uncertainty they have created. @colbylsmith.bsky.social #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/b...

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously. Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.

Illarionov says he learned of the Trump administration decision to cut off all military support to Ukraine on February 25th, before Zelensky's White House meeting on February 28th. Zelensky's visit was then blamed retroactively in the March 4th announcement of the decision. youtu.be/TRdkzNb5VI4
