Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

I’m convinced that there isn’t any response quite as evil as saying to a suffering person “Everything happens for a reason“ or “It’s all in God’s plan.” Especially when their suffering is being caused by a reality that you voted for.

Judge Boasberg is a hero.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Musk is a deranged, sick person who put out a tweet defending Hitler. Running interference for genocidal dictators who ordered mass murder is beyond the pale. Someone should educate him on the evils of the Holocaust. In the meantime he should be removed from his role—now!

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

"The result of a bad deal—making concessions to Russia while getting nothing in return—will not be fewer attacks against Americans, but more." Remember when we understood that appeasement just emboldens dictators?

Firing half of the Department of Education's workforce is the first step in gutting the resources that our students rely on, from support for low-income and rural schools to special education programs.

Check out my new post! I do an emergency video analyzing the current fight over govt spending and the sheer maddening missteps of Schumer and others adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

🗣Join us for a community town hall on how proposed federal cuts to Medicaid and SNAP could impact Floridians 📅 Wed., March 19 ⏰ 5:30 - 6:45 PM 📍Community of Faith United Methodist Church, Davenport, FL 🔗 Registration required - reserve your seat now! bit.ly/Medicaid-SNA...

President Trump's second set of tariffs — 25% on imports of steel and aluminum — could raise new car prices by $4,000 or more, according to one estimate, and used cars could also become more expensive.

POOF! Tim Parlatore is now a Navy Commander! No need to take any tests or earn it or anything. What a slap in the face to actual Commanders.

Jessica: If you look at the latest Quinnipiac poll, over 50% disapproval of trump himself, how he is handling the economy, how he is handling the federal workforce, how he is handling Ukraine-Russia, how he is handling trade with Mexico, how he is handing trade with Canada.

If Republicans want a partisan power grab for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they won’t be getting any help from me.

"Instead of being the victims of Donald Trump and Musk and their crazy, nihilistic urge to just destroy government, you should be honored. You are the bedrock of our communities. There is nothing nobler than being a public servant" - @rbreich.bsky.social

Trump and Musk would love a shutdown. We must not give them one. From me in @NYTimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/o...

Them’s fightin words. Tonight at a new Broward schools task force assigned to review future of advisory groups, member Pete Tingom said committees that fail to get quorum may have poor leaders. Reps of Technology Advisory Conmittee & Broward ESE Advisory are among those who fire back.

Not 1 red hat for the townhall with Chuck Edwards.

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

I'm at the Rep. Chuck Edwards (NC-11) #townhall in #Asheville 1200ppl in line for a 360-seat auditorium @indivisible.org @parkroseperma.bsky.social

House Republican Tries To Hold A Town Hall And It Was A Disaster: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) held a town hall where he was booed repeatedly especially when he defended… https://www.thedaily... #TownHall #Republicans

Rep. Chunk Edwards is rattled at his townhall. Here the crowd turned on him for his lack of support of Ukraine.

I am holding two Town Halls in my district next week. My plan is to keep my constituents informed and remain accessible to them during this chaotic time.

Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky sharply disagreed with a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to host Steve Bannon on Newsom’s new podcast this week, saying Bannon’s voice should not be elevated “on any platform ever, anywhere.”

"You know, if we don't fight back, this is the start of this, but striking workers are gonna be next in line to be fired and imprisoned. You know, they'll make striking illegal. I mean, that's just the next step in the process, in my opinion." - Shawn Fain, UAW President

I urge Senate Dems to reject the Anti-Veteran, Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security spending bill, & support a 4-week extension to give Congress a chance to pass a bi-partisan bill to fund what is left of our government after Co-President Musk’s chain saw cuts.

Achieving governmental efficiency should not require trampling on individual privacy. Sharing my many constituents' concerns about Trump/Musk accessing our most private data, I am fighting back with support from all of my Democratic House Ways & Means colleagues and the obstruction by all GOP.

“That’s what the let us work campaign is all about. We're trying to make sure the next time 30 workers get fired from your local VA hospital that 300 people turned out the next day and say, these jobs are too important. Don't let them get away with it.”

“The last few weeks, we’ve seen this project grow massively and now today, I think we have a historic opportunity to mobilize as a single federal sector… to defend not just the civil service, but ultimately the democracy” - Chris Dols, President of IFTPE Local 98

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.
