THIS should terrify everyone. Trump wants to steal the right to vote from all non-white bodied Americans, and further rig our system to help billionaires stay in power, and keep struggling Americans struggling. Trump Order Could Disenfranchise Millions of Voters democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

FEMA has always been non-partisan. Whether you’re from a red state or a blue state, it didn’t matter—after a natural disaster, the federal government has been there to help. We’re going to fight to protect this life-saving agency from Trump and DOGE’s cuts.

Women are paid 75 cents on the dollar compared to men—and it's even worse for black and Latina women. And it’s not just a few cents at stake. This injustice compounds over time, robbing women of huge, life-changing amounts of money over the course of their careers.

Funding for pregnancy testing, contraception, STI treatments, and infertility counseling is paused while Trump's administration investigates if federal grants are going towards DEI.

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

Imagine being Europe and reading this

Facts: Elon Musk is not in the cabinet. Elon Musk is not a department head. Elon Musk was not confirmed by the Senate. “DOGE” is not a real department. “DOGE” was never created by Congress. “DOGE” is acting outside all legal authority. “DOGE” is fake — and 100% CORRUPT.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Hillary Clinton faced 11 hours of questioning before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. #SubpoenaVance, #SubpoenaHegseth. Let’s see how those two incompetent mthrfckrs do. #ButHerEmails

Musk dropped $2M to Wisconsin GOP, and—what do you know—$1.2M magically landed with “Bad Brad” Schimel the same day. If you like your courts bought by billionaires & MAGA cronies, he’s your guy. If not, protest & vote for Judge Susan Crawford. @crawfordforwi.bsky.social tinyurl.com/Musk-2mill

But, her emails

This is a major major major scandal and must be treated as such Call your senators Call your congresspeople

🔥BREAKING NEWS: Two sources have told me that the Department of Veterans Affairs payroll system (VATAS) has been down since Friday. It is operating in 'Emergency Mode' only and will have to resort to straight time cards to get people their base pay on Friday.

But her emails...

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

“But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.” --Brad Karp. Fuck you, you coward.

If you want to know what Trump and Musk and the oligarchs want for the United States as a whole, just look at rural communities. Hollowed out spaces with struggling schools, rotting infrastructure, no access to healthcare or daycare, and factory farms moving in.

it seems to me that he's not "expanded the agenda," the emphasis on legal immigrants was there from the start

Fox News is the tip of the iceberg. The rest? Podcasts, YouTubers, TikTokers with millions of followers pushing fascism. If the left doesn’t build our own ecosystem, we’re toast. www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/can-altern...

“I’m doing good things,” I tell myself as I delete the military service of a dead woman. “I’m still a good person.”

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law? To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

Here we come

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

How is this okay?

Donald Trump is revoking legal status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Legal immigrants. Appalling.

34,000 people showed up for the Fight Oligarchy rally today in Denver.

The world celebrates International Day of Forests on Friday, but President Trump aims to expand American logging and roll back reforestation efforts.

European countries and Canada were already looking to get out of existing orders for F-35s because of Trump. Not sure this helps.

Looks like even they don’t want to hold Tesla stock. #BoycottTesla Tesla insiders are cashing out. - Kimbal Musk (Elon’s brother) – sold $27 million - James Murdoch (Rupert Murdoch’s son) – sold $13 million - Robyn Denholm (Board Chair) – sold $75 million - Vaibhav Taneja (CFO) – sold $5 million
