PIE FOR PI DAY

If Republicans want a partisan power grab for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they won’t be getting any help from me.

🚨MAJOR DEVELOPMENT Portugal has cancelled plans to buy F-35 fighter jets from the US and will look to replace their F-16s with European fighters. “We have to be able to count on the predictability of our allies, which is no longer the case with the United States."💥

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Let's see MORE of this. @padilla.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @senatorheinrich.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @sanders.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

Never gets old 🤣

the absolute most charitable thing you can say about a lot of democratic lawmakers is that they want to hold onto a political order that no longer exists

This is the proper amount of contempt with which the representatives of the people should be treating an unelected billionaire who has been contemptuously and illegally sabotaging the agencies Congress has created and funded.

JUST IN: Texas megachurch pastor and former Trump spiritual advisor Robert Morris has been indicted for molesting a 12-year-old girl.

What could Schumer do? Here's what I'd do: Get every Dem in front of the Capitol today and say this: "Every single one of us will vote for a clean one-month funding bill right now. What we will not do is cave to Republican threats to shut down the government unless we give a blank check to Musk."

This is not “learning about other people” this is platforming authoritarianism. wtf does Gavin Newsom think he’s accomplishing besides torching his prospects for the future? Have real conservatives of which Bannon and Charlie Kirk ain’t

Why America betrayed Europe

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

Did I miss where Trump threatened Russia to return the thousands of children that they kidnapped.

Citizens United put America up for sale, and Musk and Trump are the private equity firm stripping it for parts.

If you're boycotting AMZ, but still want to buy/read books: please, have a look at whether the relevant big publisher/small press/indie author sells direct This month and last is hitting everyone's book sales hard, and all of us - trad, small press & indie alike - still need to pay our bills :)

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

Amazing speech. My friend JC who passed away last year would have been proud of this Frenchman www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Facts

🇨🇦 B.C. PREMIER DAVE EBY : “We focus on Republican states and their products, because we know who’s doing this to us. We know who’s enabling the president.” #TrumpTradeWar

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash. The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash. Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting." www.cfr.org/article/how-...

I had to write this about my former party.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

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...

Schiff: Those are the comments of an ignoramus. Article Five has been invoked just once. It’s been invoked over Afghanistan—when we were attacked, and our NATO allies came to help defend us.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Republicans in Congress want to cut life-saving cancer research to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

USA loses another war 🤦‍♂️

TONIGHT: One Big, Beautiful Speech of Lies. Don’t forget to grab your Bingo cards ⬇️

Please do not use MSM to watch the SOTU. Please use C-Span

Dear President Trump & VP Vance. Have you said ‘thank you’ once? Yours, The 50+ (not random) countries that supported the United States in Iraq & Afghanistan, 2001-2021. 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇦🇱🇧🇪🇧🇬🇨🇦🇭🇷🇨🇿🇩🇰🇪🇪🇩🇪🇬🇷🇭🇺🇮🇸🇮🇹🇱🇻🇱🇹🇱🇺🇳🇱🇳🇴🇵🇱🇵🇹🇷🇴🇸🇰🇸🇮🇪🇸🇹🇷🇦🇲🇦🇺🇦🇹🇦🇿🇧🇦🇨🇴🇸🇻🇫🇮🇬🇪🇮🇪🇯🇴🇲🇰🇲🇾🇲🇳🇲🇪🇳🇿🇰🇷🇸🇪🇨🇭🇹🇴🇺🇦🇦🇪

Leaving the gates to the castle open so the enemy can walk right in.

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

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.

"18F was popular among the agencies; annoying to the contracting community; and frightening to the contractors and consultants who could charge unsuspecting agencies whatever they could get away with." We were eliminated because we frighten Musk

If you haven’t yet, it’s time to ditch the Post. Unforgivable.

If only Rubio would listen to Rubio 🙁 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGtcq5W...

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

If Trump was president in 1940: “Britain, Germany has all the cards. Your Army fled like a dog in Dunkirk! You don’t have any cards and you need cards!! I just want peace and i don’t care who has the advantage! CARDS!”

Don't forget about Rubio www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUD6...

18F, a team in the General Services Administration, was tailor-made for government efficiency and technology, writes @matteowong.bsky.social. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency wiped it out.
