So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

HEADS UP! We need to give this story more attention. This is the next phase - investigations of those who criticize Trump, Musk or SCOTUS. It’s already started. It is a campaign of intimidation designed to silence criticism. wapo.st/3X8d75G

Found intriguing interview with Brian Moore-- revisiting one of his novels now (The Doctor's Wife). Moore eschewed "celebrity writer" life yet was a close friend to Heaney, Friel, Didion and many others. Seems odd and sad he's not more present today @irishtimes.com www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

RFK Jr.’s cuts to the CDC hurt a program for 9/11 first responders. The program provides screenings, medication, and more to over 100,000 survivors with conditions related to their work at Ground Zero. And RFK fired 20% of the program’s staff. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Thank you, Mapquest. I ditched that “Map” app that came on my iPhone, because it was roll-over-and-play-dead Google’s.

"Americans didn't vote for a dictator and they did not vote for a coup. And that is exactly what is going on right now, when you have a president who is repeatedly violating federal court orders and is repeatedly violating the separation of powers," Arizona AG Kris Mayes said.

Last night, Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid. He just endorsed the House Republican budget that makes at least $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. They'll say or do anything to get more giveaways for their billionaire donors.

I live in Florida & Connecticut. I rely heavily on the National Weather Service to stay safe when hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, & snowstorms are coming our way. Our safety is being sacrificed for the billionaire/millionaire tax cuts. #MOMsky

Today I saw flu A, flu B, Covid, Strep, seizures, cellulitis, migraines, asthma, anxiety and a swallowed penny stuck in the esophagus. I know how to recognize these, test for and treat them. They don't scare me. You know what scares me? Measles scares me. And that should scare you. #PedSky #MedSky

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

The point here is Trump does not recognize order, laws, defined terms, accountability. It never mattered to him. And for that reason the Constitution is just a bunch of words to him as well. “I have an Article II that says I can do whatever I want.” That’s why these suits are so important.

Louis DeJoy's incompetence & attacks on the USPS have harmed our postal workers & communities for far too long. Good riddance. We need a Postmaster General who believes in the USPS as a public good & is committed to delivering the service our constituents deserve. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

In a memo Friday, the Education Department gave an ultimatum to stop using “racial preferences” as a factor in admissions, financial aid, hiring or other areas and have 14 days to end any practice of favoritism based on race. This is such a waste of time and money. apnews.com/article/dei-...
