So where do we protest to keep @maddow.msnbc.com on air at least 2 days a week. She is sanity for so many!!

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

Dear librarians: We will always support you, just as you have supported us ❤️⁠

The Social Security website continues to experience frequent crashes as Musk pushes for cuts to the agency’s IT staff. Americans face chronic outages and login issues while trying to access their accounts—despite being urged to conduct more of their Social Security business online.

Watch @klobuchar.senate.gov explain how the Republican budget resolution would give a massive tax cut to the ultra-wealthy, while taking away health care and raising costs for everyone else

Another one in the win column!

We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t. But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots

Ben Wikler: 1 day until WI’s April 1 election. And a reminder about Brad Schimel’s reproductive rights record: * He called WI’s 1849 abortion ban “valid” * Said it was an “honor” to have a case named Planned Parenthood v. Schimel * Helped create the legal framework to overturn Roe v. Wade

"The use of prisoners for propaganda purposes is as old as war itself. ISIS made extensive use... The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese...This is what evil, illiberal regimes do." Now that's us. Must-read @JVLast thebulwark.com/p/this-is-th...

WTF is wrong with @durbin.senate.gov? He just really doesn't care about what his constituents are saying. WAKE UP Dick, we know you are 80 and need to retire, so just do it already.

My fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, has a creed you have to memorize and try to live up to called “The True Gentleman.” Curious if you think our current president is a “true gentleman”?

Judge grants a preliminary injunction on behalf of trans people in the military and extends “appreciation to every current servicemember and veteran.” The gov’t gets a few days to appeal before it’s effective. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Press Release– U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. He sent in his request [on March 11]. ~ Jaimeraskin.com

Remember, felon47 wants us divided. The more we fight our own, the happier he is. It takes our eyes off the real issue. Don't be sucked into it. Send them your anger but fund the Dems who are doing the right things. Listen to Raskin, AOC, Duckworth, Bernie, etc. Remember Kharma is a bitch.
