apnews.com/article/x-mu... X.AI is a public-benefit corporation? Huh? About its Grok app: "Understand the universe" "Grok is an AI-powered assistant, developed by xAI, designed to be maximally truthful, useful, and curious." Truthful? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just A Reminder: If you’re using thumbprint or facial recognition, you can be forced to hand over or open your phone. You can’t be forced to open your phone if you’re using a passcode. A passcode requires a search warrant. The more you know…💫

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Maybe a gofundme for Jenner & Block, WilmerHale and Perkins Coie is not such a crazy idea. www.jenner.com/en/pro-bono www.wilmerhale.com/en/about perkinscoie.com/new-administ...

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Vote buying in the USA. Didn't think it'll happen here, and so blatantly. To Wisconsinites, Take the money but save the country. Vote blue!

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

It's true.

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION. Until now. Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again. Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

Define "anti-American". www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

All the chaos that this vindictive and corrupt administration is causing is depressing. Sharing some humor from a friend.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=isNl...

Woah.

Today we launched a website to track how much orange assface plays golf. We’re guessing this thing is gonna get a workout! Bookmark it. Enjoy! More: TrumpGolfTrack.com

The lesson from this whole Signalgate catastrophe? This administration will never, ever take responsibility for their mistakes, even when they endanger people. Especially when they endanger people. And it's the American people who will suffer.

More than 50 bar organizations stand together with the American Bar Association to defend the rule of law and reject efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read the full statement: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Israel may be paying the price for its prime minister’s political survival, Gershom Gorenberg writes: theatln.tc/6CoOdcmO

Disturbing WSJ piece about Trump’s land lust — and a painting of President Polk. This article convinced me that Trumps deadly serious about grabbing more territory — for his “legacy” — and he might not even care which territory it is. www.wsj.com/politics/the...

Besignano guarantees he will not seek to privatize Social Security. Four long years to see if that is not a lie. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

"NYT: Live Updates: Intelligence Officials and White House Deny Classified Material Was Shared in Signal Chat" Do we expect any other response than this?

Re NIH. I use its website to research my own health issues. I've wondered (and feared) about accuracy of information there going forward. How will I even know what to trust.

The most common sentence in all news stories over the past two months: “(Media outlet) has reached out to the spokesperson for (government agency), who did not respond to our questions and refused to comment.”

The United States is no longer the leader of the free world. Let that sink in.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Warnock: Mr. Musk had unmitigated audacity to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme. I guess that’s easy for a billionaire who has been living on the government dole to say.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Trump is dismantling the federal government system as he uses its funds as a bully tool. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Hope it is not on DOGE radar. www.tpl.org

Education is not a small business. "Student loans will move under the Small Business Administration.." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/u...

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

A new clinic was built in Sumy Oblast to replace the one destroyed by russia — thanks to UNITED24 donors and benefactors from Australia 🇺🇦🤝🇦🇺 👇

Ouch. This is going to hurt the Musk-MAGA relationship a lot. “Electrek reported on Monday that Tesla recently "ramped up its use of H-1B visas to replace U.S. workers it let go during a wave of layoffs earlier this year."”

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one. And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is. @calltoactivism.bsky.social

Am sad for myself that I know some of these poor people

Trump does NOT have power to abolish the Department of Education Any attempt is ILLEGAL and an abuse of power Even the Trump-aligned Heritage Foundation (which released Project 2025) concluded the president lacks unilateral power to kill a department without Congress

US arms-makers are being frozen out of the EU’s massive new defense spending plan, which aims to splash the cash for EU and allied countries.
