Colorado @bennet.senate.gov is holding in person town halls. All were full to capacity within a very short time. Thanks Senator Bennet! We’ve met him several times, a genuinely good person! 👏

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever. But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”

Harvard College will make attending the school free for students whose families make less than $100,000 a year. And they mean free free, not just tuition free.

Remind you of someone?

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.   The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Beliefs and opinions are not facts and should never be recognized as such.

@westborobaptist.bsky.social You worship evil! You hate humanity. And you are my enemy.

Airline CEOs warn domestic travel demand is slowing

YESTERDAY: "There is no substitute for Starlink." --Elon Musk, bragging about how dependent Ukraine is on his product. TODAY: "We are shipping 40,000 units to Ukraine to replace Starlink." --Eutelsat, a French satellite company.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

FOX: “The Dow is 1500 points below where it was when Trump took office. That’s not a good look.”

Have information you think the public should know about the Census Bureau, Postal Service or other parts of the federal government? I'm a @npr.org correspondent who's available via the encrypted messaging app Signal at hansi.01

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts. And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think www.1011now.com/2025/03/05/t...

This clearly show Republicans could give a rat’s ass about the flyover states.

This is good

When they say golden age, I think they mean golden shower.

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

What could possibly go wrong? (Lots. Lots could possibly go wrong.) Honestly I feel like I’m losing my mind

I always find it helpful to remember tariffs end with FFS

Trump makes another threat last night to Hamas to release every hostage immediately or there will be dire consequences. Which he also said on January 7 and February 10.

Cod liver oil and vitamin A do not prevent measles. Measles can cause vitamin A deficiency in some people, but experts say supplementation only eases that condition and doesn’t treat other symptoms. Cod liver oil contains vitamin A. www.cnn.com/2025/03/05/h...

The state of Minnesota has joined a lawsuit suing a subcontractor on the Vikings Lakes project, accusing the company of ignoring a worker’s repeated claims of harassment and then firing her after she reported being raped on the work site.

This is very bad.

On @msnbc.com morning Joe , Schumer saying we need to organise and protest because MAGA cult is attacking healthcare 🤦😡 how about Joe repeat over and over that Trump is old, demented, angry and Elon is in charge! Dangerous. The media needs to step up! Get loud!
