Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Tarrio is a disgusting person

Germany’s new leader: “Trump does not care about Europe and is aligning with Russia.. goal needs to be independence from 🇺🇸…” Our allies helped make us great. As we abandon them, they are turning away from us. Think about who this helps. (Hint: not us) www.politico.eu/article/frie...

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

The new German Chancellor, Friederich Merz, despises both Trump and Putin. Europe's markets are rallying after his win.

Why do you think Elon is ransacking our government? He wants to steal all that money to make for his bad business.

Sign of the day…

This is indeed brilliant

The leaders of Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have also arrived in Kyiv today. Thank you for standing with #Ukraine!

The world’s strongest voice for Democracy

Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Some GOP lawmakers’ town-hall events have been contentious, with a lot of people complaining about President Trump.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

Van Hollen: "There's no Article 4 in the Constitution that gives Elon Musk that authority, and the way he's been 'delegated' this authority is illegal, and the actions he's taking are illegal, and we need to shut down this illegal operation."

I am proud that my law firm is currently litigation 48 voting and election cases in 18 states.

I, for one, am not reassured by the fact the German extreme right only got 20 percent. The acceptable number of German far-rightists is zero. The 1930s taught us that.

Just in case.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

My parents- before i was born. It was WW2. My dad was proud to be in the Royal Canadian Navy.

I’ve been targeted for death in a bomb threat received at the Principles First Summit where I spoke today. To be clear, I’ve been threatened by far more capable people during my career. It won’t stop my advocacy for democracy and the Constitution: x.com/Acosta/statu...

GOP Lawmakers Face Growing Backlash to Trump-Musk Agenda www.commondreams.org/news/gop-tow...

We study mass surveillance for social control, and we see Trump laying the groundwork to ‘contain’ people of color and immigrants theconversation.com/we-study-mas...

A REALLY serious problem.

Another shakedown: U.S. negotiators pressing Kyiv for access to Ukraine's critical minerals have raised the possibility of cutting the country's access to Elon Musk's vital Starlink satellite internet system, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

See if you can detect the emerging pattern in decisions made by the (not) Stable Genius Administration [1 of 2]:

Shouldn't trust Trump any more than Russian. Trump is acting under orders from Putin/ Lavrov

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.
