Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

April 5 is a good day to let in some sunlight - National Day of Action - handsoff2025.com

This is *extremely* alarming — White House fires a career federal prosecutor because he (1) went after a politically connected businessman and (2) criticized Trump during a 2020 congressional bid. “White House fires a career prosecutor” is itself unprecedented. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"Wisconsin is evenly split between the parties, but when Republicans control the legislature and the supreme court, they suppress voting and heavily gerrymander the state in their favor." Thanks for the summary, @hcrichardson.bsky.social Fellow Wisconsinites, let's do this- April 1- VOTE!

Thanks, @markhamillofficial.bsky.social , for drawing attention to this criming by Elon.

IN ONE WEEK: We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement — because the fight against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump is just starting. Please join us next Saturday: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me. The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...

You all make us proud. Every time we share information, you’re right there helping us amplify it and push back. Huge thanks to those who stepped up—especially the lawyers. Word spread, and Musk’s team was made aware that Wisconsin law prohibits payments for voter turnout.

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“For decades, [FEMA] has carried the significant responsibility of helping states and local communities recover from hurricanes, wildfires and other weather-related disasters. That includes funding immediate needs such as short-term housing and basic repairs.” www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Thank you, President Trump! Our long national nightmare of accurate weather forecasts is coming to an end! “There’s no question it will lead to errors. It’s just a matter of how bad will it be... We know these things help with forecasts, so why are we cutting them?” www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

everyone on that Signal chat (except Jeffrey Goldberg) should be fired. They know that is not approved, carries risk, etc. Trump said Hillary for unfit for office for doing something FAR more trivial.

Keep Your Hands Off! Keep ‘em off of our Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, private data, libraries, schools, and personal rights. Find an event near you, or—if you are near D.C.—come join us, along with the rest of The Contrarian family! (Details to follow.)

Spread the word: On April 5, we’re coming together to say Hands Off! and push back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. Join us for a national day of action: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban." She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X. "You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.

The submitted declarations from the govt do underscore how bogus and outlandish it was for gov atty to claim in court yesterday that he couldn't reveal anything about the planes b/c of "national security" concerns. If permitted, they'll use it an excuse to keep all info from judges and amer people.

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

liz Cheney: Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine...

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia. It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social @clairelehmann.bsky.social @claireberlinski.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

HHS Secretary Kennedy has been scarce at headquarters, has not visited a number of HHS agencies and has not sent all-staff emails to the department's workforce, according to one department official. Notably, this person says, Kennedy has not done anything to address the measles outbreak.

Trump announced plans to cut 65% of the EPA’s staff.

So happy to be part of Woodstock Ripples 2025! My monologue, Ball and Chain, will be produced in the theatre and with a regional mobile unit! Details to come!!

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

This was just posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/m... Such cruelty to not let anyone know….

NEW non-clarifying clarifications about Elon Musk's employee status filed just now in a NM-led lawsuit: —Musk, as a presidential senior adviser, "has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself." He is also not DOGE's administrator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
