We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This will have devastating consequences. Nearly a million K-12 students in Minnesota rely on funding from the Department of Education. Students in rural communities, low-income families, and those who need special education services will be hit the hardest. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

literally the best timing if no teams agreed to play on the first Thursday of March Madness, the Trump administration would have to release all currently illegally withheld funds by Friday.

There's a lot of game left, but the Tar Heels are up 35-14. Folks, the ACC does well in the tournament and UNC deserved to be there over West Virginia, who decided to lose in the 1st round of their conference tournament. #MarchMadness #FirstFour #NCAA

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Maybe the #TarHeels shouldn't be in #MarchMadness. However, the #Mountaineers could've shown up for their 1st round conference game the same way their governor has shown up to complain on their behalf. Problem avoided.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Carefully chosen instance to defy the courts. But if they get away with it, anything goes. apnews.com/article/trum...

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.  Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

The South Dakota State #Jackrabbits were supposed to be an 8 seed. They're a 10 and will beat Oklahoma State. #UConn could've been a 1, but is a 2. Both will have a chip on their shoulder in the 2nd round. Epic match up in the making. #NCAA #MarchMadness #WBB

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.
