My trousers stayed up and no one rushed the stage and slapped me, so all things considered… a pretty good night. #Oscars2025

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

For the first time in our history, the assistant to the President will be delivering the State of the Union tomorrow night.

Bravo! This is art. This has power

“Two senior Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are launching an investigation into the DOJ’s move to dismiss corruption charges against NYC Mayor #EricAdams.” www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Great news for money launderers!

Reminder that Jon M. Chu was robbed of a best director nomination #wicked #oscars

This picture. Long overdue! #Oscars

Despite winning the Best Documentary prize at this year’s Oscars, No Other Land can’t been widely seen by US audiences. The documentary about an Israeli journalist highlighting the work of a Palestinian activist living under Israeli occupation has no US distributor.

Tomorrow in the Washington Post: Why Drake Should Apologize To Kendrick Lamar For Taking Up So Much Of His Time

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

I have been seeing the Academy Awards broadcast with these four amazing friends for this and the last 45 years. The fact that we can be here with our kids, their partners and our granddaughter makes this year that much better. #oscars

Harrison Ford has been diagnosed with shingles and will no longer present at the #Oscars He's doing okay and is resting after the diagnosis (via EW)

Nikolay Patrushev: To achieve success in the election, Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations....he will be obliged to fulfill them. CNN: Why the US president would choose the Kremlin over America’s traditional partners remains the subject of intense speculation.

Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

There is an authoritarian leader in that US that abandoned America and Ukraine and our allies. There's also Musk and an ongoing genocide in Gaza. I expect Hollywood to say nothing at the Oscars tonight. Capitalism trumps everything else.

My law firm is currently litigation 49 voting, election and pro-democracy cases in 20 states.

Last night, I was reading court filings, as one does, and discovered that the Trump administration admitted to a federal judge that it doesn’t know how many transgender service members there are. www.advocate.com/news/doj-und...

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

The Democrats don't seem to understand propaganda. The media sphere is 95% maga owned, but they continue to think that if they take the high road, truth will magically break through the barrage of maga disinformation. They really need to work on their communication and outreach.

This is insane. They are going to destroy the entire planet.

Just like 1984's Winston Smith after Big Brother declared "we have always been at war with Eastasia," GOP senators are frantically tossing their past statements down the memory hole

Trump Unleashed: How the U.S. May Collaborate with Russia open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

Donald Trump is neither a savvy negotiator nor a brilliant dealmaker. He is a craven bully who telegraphs not only his final goal but his next move in achieving it. He is the kind of mark every poker player dreams of having at the table — rich, cocky and dumb. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

They have no answer for what the oligarchs are doing to America.

We need to change “go woke; go broke” to “Show care; grow market share” or “Embrace all; avoid the fall.” CostCo sales revenue rose 9.2% this January compared to 2024.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.
