I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

House dems not holding back

Summit New Jersey Town Hall with @tommalinowski.bsky.social massive success thanks to @maddow.msnbc.com and @georgetakei.bsky.social shout out. These are great. Republicans are refusing to hold town halls a

Finally

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

It. Could. Work.

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Mark Kelly: "The only oath I can think of that maybe Elon has sworn is an oath to his own checking account."

😅 "Sorry I'm not in a suit," — Zelensky about his outfit at the Shevchenko Prize ceremony.

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)

The great Ruth Marcus who has written columns in The Washington Post for 40 years, has resigned saying Bezos will “break the trust of readers that columnists are writing what they believe, not what the owner has deemed acceptable," www.npr.org/2025/03/10/n...

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

They've become a parody of themselves.

Me either

I was wondering what happened to them.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Kill the bird. Save the world.

Like Ukraine has nothing better to do.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

JD Vance is crying again. This time, he claims he and his daughter were “confronted” by pro-Ukraine protesters while walking near his home. Sounds dramatic, right? Except the video tells a different story. Let’s smite his lies.

Fuck Donald Trump. Ok, Big Law partners...Your turn.

Auchincloss: "Zelenskyy flew to Washington, but he walked into the Kremlin."

SHAME ON REP. ANDY HARRIS. Maryland’s 1st district deserves better!

Every single Democratic Senator voted for Marco Rubio as Sec of State!

Share if you agree. 🇨🇦 🇲🇽

"Randall hosted a morning town hall Saturday in Bremerton that filled up in minutes. Rather than turning the overflow crowd away, she immediately held a 2nd session. 'I want to hear from everyone who took the time out of their day to be here,' she wrote online..." www.advocate.com/politics/hug...

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Facts

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Trump is taking his bad-take social media posts and plopping them into “Executive Orders”…

I hope it passes!!

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

Dear Mr. Jack Daniels, Canada is your biggest market. Maybe you should explain this to your legislators who threaten us. We will take all the steps necessary to defend our nation from a hostile foreign power including filling the shelves with great Canadian whiskey. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Know their 'oranges'

People need to know there is someone on their side! The GOP is proving, it’s not them! The time is NOW!!!

Exquisite response by Georgetown Dean to interim USA Ed Martin On Martin's threat letter not to hire grads until Martin approves of law school curriculum: "The constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution."

Update: DNC sues Donald Trump We know there’s a lot of news happening right now, so we wanted to make sure you didn't miss this. The DNC Sues Trump Over Illegal Executive Order Threatening Free & Fair Elections! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
