Apologies for not recognizing @citizencohn.bsky.social and @thebulwark.bsky.social

Fine, eye-opening report and analysis. You begin to understand how they might try to get the cuts they’re looking for. Call your representatives! www.thebulwark.com/p/health-ins...

Thanks to Jared Bernstein for putting this in his newsletter. www.cbpp.org/charts/trump... Trump Administration Combination of Tax Cuts, Program Cuts, and Tariffs Would Hurt Most Families Across the U.S.

Trump kills foreign aid that could keep people alive and spends money on self-glorification and golf. That is so...on brand.

Now is exactly THE WRONG TIME, NYT, to run the "Well, actually, maybe colleges were too woke" op-ed. What the hell is wrong with you?🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ This is an all-hands-on-deck moment to defend free speech -- anything else is Quisling capitulation www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

Vote, support GOTV efforts if you can, and donate if you are able. All three races are important!

If you need another reason, here it is! Frustrate Elon Musk’s plan. Support Judge Susan Crawford for WI Supreme Court!

Support Judge Susan Crawford for WI Supreme Court!

👇 At a minimum, this!👇

THIS! An excellent question.

Pete Hegseth would not be Sec of Def without @RogerWicker. He had the power to stop the nomination. So, will Senator Wicker call for an investigation of the most serious national security breach in modern times? Or just look the other way? Party or country? www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Special elections in Florida (April 1) and New York (June?) could give the House majority to Democrats! Donate now to Gay Valimont, Josh Weil, and Blake Gendebien! And please support Judge Susan Crawford for WI state supreme court. All are on ActBlue.

In today’s environment, with Doge destroying our government and FOTUS flying immigrants to Central America, imagine the impact if just one House seat flipped from R to D. Of course these are long shots, but there’s no more important work we can do today! Go to ActBlue and give whatever help you can

Lots of references here to 2026, but what about NOW? Special elections in Florida (April 1) and New York (June?) could give the House majority to Democrats! Donate now to Gay Valimont, Josh Weil, and Blake Gendebien! 1/2

Charlie Sykes @sykescharlie.bsky.social comes closer than anyone I have read in stating exactly my view. Like him I am torn on this. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Thanks to @the-north-wind.com for this powerful story and symbol. 📎📎📎

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

And before the Constitution had been ratified, there were versions in German (1787) and Dutch (1788). Because “we have always been multilingual.” prologue.blogs.archives.gov/2021/09/09/c...

“We have always been multilingual.” A remarkable document! @adamrothman.bsky.social

We can support Ukraine, even if the current administration doesn’t. u24.gov.ua

I stand with Ukraine. Every decent person should. It’s not just a strategic interest. It’s a moral imperative. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦

Strongly agree with this! Outstanding post by @emptywheel.bsky.social that everyone should read in full.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Support Susan Crawford for the WI Supreme Court!

AG Garland has a final responsibility to the American people: release the Special Counsel’s report on former President Trump - both volumes! He has released previous reports. Refraining at this point would be a cover-up. Leave that to others. #ReleaseTheReport
