The law firm, founded and chaired by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, said in a statement Saturday that there would be "no negotiation" with the White House about the clients it represents or the lawsuits it brings on their behalf. www.aol.com/no-negotiati...

Musk and Trump need to stay the hell away from USPS.   Postal workers provide an essential constitutional service, ensuring that folks have their medicine, bills and paychecks on time.

Casar pushes back against a Fox News host who claims that Republicans don’t actually want to cut Social Security

Co-Presidents Trump and Musk don’t mind if after-school programs get cut, class sizes go up, or families don’t get help to pay for school. Billionaires like them won’t feel the pain. www.marieclaire.com/politics/eli...

Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy. His attacks on lawyers and law firms are damaging our boat. If he can simply defy court orders, the boat will sink entirely. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

another chunk from today's post — link to the whole deal is here: bit.ly/4iwOMiG thanks for reading!

15 years ago, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act to expand health care for millions. And we keep working to make health care affordable & expand access. The Republican health care plan has been—and continues to be—tax cuts for billionaires and good luck to everyone else.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

No press reports yet. But this Daryl Issa 'empty chair', still underway, out in California seems to have a pretty sizable turnout. Photo courtesy of TPM Reader CM ...

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

France special forces practicing drills in Greenland and a French nuclear powered submarine in Halifax, Canada.

100 special police forces sent to Nuuk, Greenland from Denmark to beef up security amid US invasion threat.

The Trump regime's JD Vance confirms US intention to invade Greenland by force. Denmark and Europe have previously confirmed military force would be used to defend Danish / Greenland sovereignty.

Update: I posted this abt Aber's focus on child predators bc it never got attention. Ken Dilanian now reports on Xitter there's NO reason to suspect anything but natural cause of death.

US opposition politicians @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov gathered 86,000 people within a three day period in Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada. #3E #EndOligarchy

There are a lot of protests going on and I feel like they’re not getting covered

President Musk keeps lying about our movement — Republicans are mad because we’re building the local power that’s exposing the MAGA agenda. We rely on grassroots donations to support our nationwide organizing to hold the GOP accountable. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Italy has suspended the Starlink $1.6 billion purchase negotiations with SpaceX amid Musk being a Nazi and a Trump / Russia collaborator. Italy cites security concerns about the reliability of the US.

So, if you’re not a good ally, we can takeover your territory? Sounds like the German approach ahead of the start of WW II.

We are still 30 minutes from starting and we’re packed to the rafters for the Darrell Issa Empty Chair Town Hall!! @maddow.msnbc.com @velshi.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Unbelievable turnout in this ruby red district for the Darrell Issa empty chair town hall!

When it comes to choosing whether to help working Americans or throw cash at billionaires—you can bet Republicans will choose the billionaires every time. That's why they're pushing to slash Medicaid & rip the rug out from under the 1.8 million people in WA state who rely on it.

Republicans want to cut Social Security while Elon Musk gets $8 million every day from government contracts.

A MAGA terrorist attacked Americans who were peacefully protesting oligarchy and Tesla. This is just the latest terrorist attack by MAGA as these radicals feel embolden to attack civilians in latest wave of Trump / Musk inspired terrorism. www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/t...

“The Trump administration’s vision of a reactionary constitutionalism (if it is even constitutionalism) is reminiscent of the illiberal constitutionalism of the Confederate States of America.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/o...

By trying to bludgeon lawyers into submission, Trump is sending the clearest possible signal that he will do whatever he wants with the power bestowed on him by the Court he has packed with justices whose loyalty he expects www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

Maybe Usha wants to move there. I would if I were she.

Chants of TAX THE RICH! From today’s Indivisible empty chair town hall for Darrell Issa - who just so happens to be the richest person in Congress. @velshi.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Heads up, Wisconsin!!!!! Local politics really fucking matter!!!!! Pay attention!!!!!

Denmark was one of the original 12 nations that signed the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949, establishing NATO. Article 5 is a key provision of the NATO treaty, defining the collective defense principle. An attack against any NATO member is considered an attack against them all. Allies will stand up.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'Ă©tat figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," and wants to fire thousands of workers that keep the program running. That might be easy for a billionaire to say, but Social Security is a lifeline for millions of Americans. We must fight to protect it.

Dems in Utah you’re needed

Someone's got the UK edition! (It's out in the US, UK, and Spain in May, with wildly different covers in each.)
