1/2 🚨 The Greater Cleveland Food Bank lost 20 truckloads—2 million dollars' worth—of emergency food this week due to Trump admin cuts. That’s a million pounds of food gone. Hosts of the “Today in Ohio” podcast are calling it out: this is either incompetence or deliberate cruelty.

Our fundamental rights are at stake in this race. Brad Schimel wants to plunge us back to 1849—before women even had the right to vote. Together, we can defeat him on April 1. apnews.com/article/wisc...

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Thank God he stood up. If the dean of Georgetown Law had caved in the face of this ridiculous bullying, it would have made it more likely that others will follow suit.

This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.

Just as I predicted, once no other media organization stood with AP (other than issuing statements) this was the next step. And when you bow down to this, there will be another step taken to erode press freedoms. If you don’t fight for your rights, you lose them. Started / Going

Amidst all the noise, I missed this bit of good news, for once, out of SCOTUS yesterday. Abortion clinic buffer zones have been on the anti-abortion groups’ radar for a while as the next thing to kill off. It’s encouraging that the Supreme Court declined these cases: apnews.com/article/supr...

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
