The Associated Press sues Trump administration officials after the news outlet was banned from some White House events cnn.it/4h93tXP

Most of this good news gets buried under the mountain of Trump and Musk’s garbage: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/more-good-...

Posts are a way of free speech. Statue of Liberty was given to us by global friends who now may be confused: a symbol of democracy. Our abandoning Ukraine with this Felon 47 Admin goes to the heart of our social identity🦅These "forty days " are making us "tired and poor"🇺🇸Posts vs discussions🌹

I'm very happy to announce that The Bernardin Center at Catholic Theological Union has invited 9 bishops to pray a National Novena for Migrants & Immigrants over Zoom March 14-22. You can join us from anywhere. Please do. And please spread the word. ctu.edu/novena/

Is Vladimir Putin calling the shots?

Then Zelensky ought to go directly to China leaving out the "middle man"🌹China will build infrastructure, own the rights to minerals, own Russia plus USA🦅Then the richest man in the world with former POTUS Felon 47 can start a podcast🇺🇸Not mad, just helping🌹What a thought? [A response to a post]

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

“…it’s darkly ironic that the master strategist is unwilling to see how much he helped erode his beloved Senate.” @hayesbrown.bsky.social writes about how Mitch McConnell’s ‘been committed to no higher cause than the acquisition of power for his own party.’ READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Instead of giving $2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, we should work together to lower food prices for regular Americans. That's why I introduced an amendment to block tax cuts for billionaires as long as food prices are rising.

Something essential is here. Political theorists understand something of the danger of 'futurity,' the sense that time's passing means progress which is new-ish in human experience. But I think even we don't think enough abt how corrosive the future *business* is... www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Today in Constitutional Law:

If you were born white, male and in the United States of America, and you still managed to grow up and be frustrated and unhappy, it's you MAGA. It's you. IT'S YOU!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

It is disgusting to see an American president turn against one of our friends and openly side with a thug like Vladimir Putin. And with Trump preparing to give in to Putin now, America will pay the price later.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

"Last year the Supreme Court gutted the rulings that reined in Nixon, and now Trump and Elon Musk are running the government as if they are the only law in the land. They insist they are 'saving' the country by burning down its institutions, and they bogusly claim a mandate of the people to do it."
