a smart and stylish sign move by the woman on the right side of the picture at this pawling ny protest (republican mike lawler's district) -- a little hole-punch and a right-sized cord, and then you have both your hands free to hold your umbrella!

@maddow.msnbc.com This is what democracy looks like HENDERSON COUNTY NC

@maddow.msnbc.com #Henderson NC

I’m just sayin’. St Augustine FL is a town of 14,000. In a red county. And we’re doing this. #handsoff #50501 #April5 AND we have some spicy signs!

#HandsOff in a small town in ruby red Alabama

Wow. The #HandsOff protest in Boston is HUGE already! People refusing to lie down as Trump & Musk violate the Constitution. 👏👏 #Resist (🎥 Arthur Mansavage)

#HandsOff protest in Duluth, MN #50501 #ProtestMN

Yo, Third Act @thirdact.org is in the house for today's #HandsOff rallies. Don't mess with the olds!

Great turnout in Pasco County Florida #Handsoff

We are READY! (Unless anyone’s got a brilliant idea for the other side of Midge’s Sign) #HandsOff

Raskin: They say the number of courts striking down trump's policies is completely unprecedented. So what? That's only because the number of his illegal actions are completely unprecedented.

Thank you to MeidasTouch for coverage of the protests. CNN has nothing. Small mentions on Reuters and AP. You guys are great!

#handsoff Birmingham, Alabama

Glad to know that the orange shitgibbon cares so deeply about the economic shitstorm he released.

The weather is crappy and it’s pouring at times, but huge crowds in NYC Bryant Park for today’s Hands Off protest.

Close to 25k people expected Washington DC National Mall -#HandsOff

Six young children at a Lubbock, Texas, day care center have tested positive for measles — a dreaded scenario with the potential to accelerate an already out-of-control outbreak that has spread to at least two other states.

Yup

Today, when hundreds of thousands are protesting, please take a few minutes to watch this video. Republicans are attacking free and fair elections in North Carolina to undermine democracy. youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

Wow. What is happening here with Hegseth?

Musher Quince Mountain was withdrawn from the Iditarod under the race’s rule on competitiveness, but ended up driving a small team to the finish line in Nome anyway.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat James Malone DEFEATS Republican County Commissioner Josh Parsons in the special election for Pennsylvania SD-36 — FLIPPING a district Trump carried by 15.4% in the 2024 election. A huge upset victory for the Democrats.

Went live on Substack with my buddy Officer Mike Fanone, if you would like to see the recording of it, it was a good one: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/recorded-l...

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat. Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

The White House is saying the information shared in the Signal group chat was “not classified.” They’re lying. Those who’ve served in uniform know it would’ve been classified. We’re calling for an investigation and accountability.

Michigan politician Mallory McMorrow is considering a run for US Senate If she gets there, she will NOT vote for @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader “Chuck Schumer has dedicated his life to public service..and it can be time to step back. And those things are not mutually exclusive” It’s time

I think we shouldn’t call it signalgate. We should call it whiskey leaks

Good grief 🚨⚖️

The DOGE effect: Social Security is falling apart—crashed websites, endless hold times, and not enough staff. Millions of retirees, disabled Americans, and legal immigrants are getting locked out. The agency is drowning in dysfunction. PS—This feels a lot like my final weeks as a Tesla owner. 1/2

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Exactly

Elon Musk’s DOGE is crippling the Social Security Administration. SSA’s website crashed four times in 10 days and Americans who depend on Social Security have flooded congressional offices with angry phone calls. The AARP says it receives 2,000 calls a week.

Canada has an economist as Prime Minister and Mexico has an environmental scientist and Dr of Philosophy for president. Meanwhile the USA has a rapist con artist and Soviet sleeper agent as their president.

I don't say that the law won't stop this and elections won't matter because I'm a doomer. I'm saying this so people understand the moment we're in. We're no longer a democracy. People need to accurately diagnose the problem before they can fix it and waiting for the courts or elections isn't it.

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

My Kingdom and more for anyone to realize that awarding yourself a government contract is not a conflict of interest. It's corruption. When the bank teller takes the money out of the cash drawer and puts it in his pocket that's not a conflict of interest either.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security. It was … two days ago.

“People in rural areas might not get any service... It isn’t just a service, it’s a lifeline. For 250 years, this institution has been here and we’re not going to let anyone take that from us.” “It is real, and it’s historic. We won’t let them take that away” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/23/m...

Meanwhile, just last month... "... commands that link the victim's phone to a new device—in this case, one in the hands of an eavesdropper who can then read every message the target sends or receives..." www.wired.com/story/russia...
