A must watch: youtu.be/hycoCYenXls?...

A federal judge ruled Monday that President Donald Trump’s extensive freeze to foreign aid spending through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) usurped Congress’s constitutional authority to decide how money can be spent by the government. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is truly an attack on veterans. They stripped billions from the PACT Act toxic exposures fund. As Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social makes clear. This is outrageous.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

The White House Press Secretary just wrapped up her press conference, and let’s be clear—the White House is gaslighting you as the country burns. Here is everything you need to know.

They absolutely could not possibly be clearer that they are going to try to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

In spite of what the Russian Useful Idiot car salesman in the White House says, in his latest autocratic rants, we still have a First Amendment, and boycotting Tesla IS NOT ILLEGAL!!! In fact, I would call it PATRIOTIC!!!

“Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people.” 🇺🇸 - March 11, 2025

Mike #Johnson Struggles to Explain What Crime Mahmoud Khalil Committed. The House speaker got all the basic facts wrong when asked about the #arrest of the pro-#Palestine activist.

J6, though, you get a pardon. 🤡

“Tariffs 101” for dummies…

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

From #OccupyDemocrats Instagram

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

This discussion about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is all theoretical and full of big numbers. The impact for average Americans will be unreal even if you personally aren't drawing from those programs now. I tried to dive deeper in my latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

The cover-up… USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

LOL, sad.

you put a tariff in you put a tariff out you put a tariff in and you shake it all about (who else is dizzy?!) 😳🙄 #ElbowsUp

•••••BREAKING••••• The measles outbreak in western Texas is rapidly growing, with 25 new cases confirmed in just the last five days. In West Texas alone, there are now a total of 223 confirmed cases, according to new data released by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Watch..

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

I haven't been able to bring myself to read much of the Times or Post since the election. The framing of these stories illustrates why. Headlines this bad just shut me down as a potential reader.

Haberman: Teddy Schleifer and I reported that Elon Musk has signaled to Trump’s advisers that he wants to direct $100 million into trump controlled political entities..

www.politico.com/news/2025/03... - dam ing story on Noem and how immigration didn’t matter as long as it helped S Dakota. Same will be true for Red states now that she is DHS sec.

Trump calls Tesla boycott 'illegal' and says he's buying one to support Musk - citizens of the US and people around the world voicing their negative views of Leon are now considered illegal according to the orange convicted felon. What happened to free speech?

He was a few months ahead of himself.

As of now, Tesla stock would be down for the last full year if it loses about 46 points. It's lost 38 points TODAY.

🤔 Sometime in the last week, the DOJ removed this from its website. Wonder why?

Concerning …

My question is whether Wall Street understands that an important segment of the EV market customer base will not buy a Tesla at any price. It could teleport me places and I would not buy it. I would not drive one if you gave it to me for free.

“At least in combat, I knew my mission. I was supported in it by my teammates, by my leadership, and I had agency. I had a weapon. I could fight against a tangible enemy. Now it’s just an invisible cloud of dread.”

SCOOP—Emails obtained by Prem Thakker and Zeteo show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote he feared ICE "might come to my home."

abcnews.go.com/Politics/mus... I'd love ICE to go after Elon Colonizer!!!

I was just about to leave to go to hospital for a procedure, just to make sure radiation didn’t do any damage purely out of an abundance of caution , and the hospital called to say insurance hasn’t approved it yet, it’s been scheduled for three months . Worst healthcare system possible!

Time for a game of dominoes… #Resist

I might’ve bought a Tesla, but I watched so many rallies where Trump said they sucked and said EVs could only go 100 miles before they had to be recharged, which takes all day. He also said they can only go 30 MPH. He seemed pretty sure and Trump is right about everything.

National Parks are wasteful spending but Space X isn’t?

High school football coaches expressed concerns over the impact of vouchers on their programs. Gov. Abbott bragged that Arizona is a state w/ vouchers and successful high school football. What he didn’t share is school vouchers have almost bankrupted the state. Now, he wants to bring vouchers Texas.
