Armed government agents went to the home of a lawful resident of the United States without a warrant and arrested him over the content of his speech. This is a five-alarm fire for civil liberties.

can someone make sure @tomsuozzi.bsky.social sees this

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

Russia has ‘something’ on senior U.S. leaders. it may be an owed favor (Election interference?). payback of the favor has led to current situation vis-à-vis Ukraine. If the favor or other material were out in the open, it would have less power to compel payback. Stakes are quite high

Trump is deliberately showing NATO and other countries that have purchased US munitions that functions such as electronic interference in an F16 can be shut off remotely by a select person in power in the United States. Implications seem profound.

This article both freaks me the fuck out and makes me feel like a crazy person for feeling like the only person constantly screaming about it. www.cnn.com/2025/03/07/c...

What a different world we could have.

Who will ever buy munitions from the U.S. again, knowing that select persons in power can turn them off, as Trump is doing with Ukrainian F16s today? Did Trump sink U.S. munition sales?

Weingarten: It’s really only the Congress that can abolish the Department of Education. So, what the president can do is make government basically ineffective—not work—by a thousand cuts. And that’s what they’re doing.

BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships

Reminder, Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do He said months ago US would annex Canada through economic force There's no fentanyl or immigrant crisis at the border Trump just saying that to put up a false flag to justify economic warfare against Canada Putin did the same w Ukraine

Guardian provides needed antidote to idiotic Carville #BrokenTimes op-ed: "Ask the post-first world war German Social Democrats–they also believed that the Nazis would disgrace themselves and be rejected by the public once their true colors were shown." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

James Carville is wrong. Democrats should fight, not ‘play dead.’

getting what done? he's not doing anything.

the short version of how this all ends is americans lose everything, their savings, jobs, future, democracy, social security, medicare, all of it, while canada europe etc suffer, sure, but are ok in the end. I don't know why more americans don't get the level of ruin that's on the way for them

Q: How will this get resolved? A: When mainstream Republicans realize their party has been captured by a hostile foreign power, that their financial security is at grave risk, and they take action to deal with that fact. Help them understand that’s what’s happened.

What a front cover...

Trump‘s showdown with Marco Rubio and Leon almost seems staged. Who would possibly think that, given recent history? It’s meant to convince us that the rule of law is - still in place

Maybe I’ve missed some, but hoping for insightful comments regarding Trump’s continued delays. Putting off tariffs for one month? What does that serve? Putting off budget reconciliation in favor of a continuing resolution for 9 mo almost certainly serves some goal of consolidation of power.

Just got an email from the Fulbright Association. As of right now, funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars and students in the United States

Lack of staff is leading to the loss of even more balloon observations. I look at hundreds of these data points daily for my job. Both observed & model derived. These balloon observations can be critical in accurate severe thunderstorm forecasts & watch issuance. They improve model accuracy as well.

In its apparent quest to cut government spending and improve efficiency, DOGE has fired entire tech teams devoted to those very things.

Trump is backpedaling on nearly everything—deportations, tariffs, firings, even dismantling the Dept. of Ed—after backlash. But these were his campaign promises. His chaos is no accident. Stay informed with today’s top stories.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

What are they afraid civil servants will see?

Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵

This was the Program that I worked for. It would have helped conservation efforts here in Mississippi as well as boost the local economy. Canceling this program is gonna hurt our state.

Every Democrat who is sending campaign donation solicitation right now.... is going to my Google trash bin. That will only change when their behavior changes. When they start doing what they know damn good and well...we are expecting them to do. Too weak? Too afraid? Then get out. Step aside.

So don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings: but DOGE canceled the lease on the facility that processes and stores all the nuclear waste created by the US military. Sorry. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.
