NEW from me - Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Miller and Homan must be so pleased with themselves. Fucking monsters: A family that was deported to Mexico hopes they can find a way to return to the U.S. and ensure their 10-year-old daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, can continue her brain cancer treatment. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53. Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence. That is why Republicans can’t govern.

"DOGE’s claims are often either mathematically impossible, or, like the $50m 'condoms for Gaza' claim, simply false. This allows the administration to take a strategically ambiguous stance in hopes of shielding DOGE from judicial interference. But that strategy is failing." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

It should come as no surprise that a region with an entrenched Bourbon aristocracy and one-party rule has important deficits in both democracy (competitive electoral politics) and liberalism (individual rights and freedoms). The deficits are national now.

Extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add roughly $4 trillion to the deficit. Remember this the next time Republicans try paying for them with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

The other thing we must keep in mind is that Putin has not only attacked Ukraine, he attacked the Democratic Party of the United States of America and our candidate for President in 2016, helping Trump win. Trump is siding with someone who launched an incredible attack on the Democratic Party.
