We are feeling lucky in Wisconsin with Election Day in just two weeks!🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day from your GDHQ Family!

If you have a GOP Rep who is hiding, you can have a little fun while advertising to his constituents that he's a coward!

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

Trump is insane.

The cuts underway at the Social Security Administration could wind up breaking critical parts of a system that millions of the nation's most vulnerable citizens rely on — including nearly 90% of Americans over age 65.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The Democrats in my town would vote for her.

Save the dates! We're hosting two great events this weekend! See comments for more details.

The courts, global leaders & Americans are holding the delicate line against Trump’s autocracy—& we’re covering it all @contrariannews.org Today’s featured voices include @joshlevs.bsky.social, @elizaorlins.bsky.social, @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social + many, many more Stay engaged. Stay informed - TN

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

Many constitutional lawyers agree that there is a pending constitutional crisis, which will be definitively triggered if Trump refuses to obey a court order.

🧪The entire staff of the Department of Education’s NCES-a vital independent statistical agency - has just been RIFed. The continued erasure of data and evidence allows for the Trump administration to hide the impact of their corruption. #EduSky #Scisky @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @cossa.bsky.social

MSNBC: America is ALREADY burning down. The GOP budget has a HUGE PERMANENT negative impact on avg Americans. A govt shutdown hurts for a few days, maybe weeks. The GOP budget hurts Americans for years, maybe for life. Do better. Fight the GOP's destruction of our government & its loyal workers.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.

Congratulations to NDRC endorsed Democracy Defender David Gottfried, who has won the Minnesota House special election. This win puts a stop to the imposition of Republicans’ extreme partisan agenda. Another win in 2025. Thank you to all who made their voices heard.

BREAKING: The EU plans to retaliate against US tariffs on steel and aluminum with possible duties on American goods worth $28.3 billion.

Corruption is at the heart of the #TrumpRegime. #Kleptocracy #TrumpCrimeSyndicate

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

Education Secretary Linda McMahon confirmed to Fox News this evening today's mass layoffs at the Education Department were the first step toward President Trump's plans for a total shutdown of the agency.

We’re less than 60 days in and already Trump’s second term is far down the path towards consolidating power in the ways modern autocrats do: - pardoning violent acts committed on his behalf - purging the civil service to stack with loyalists - opening specious criminal investigations read more…

Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a red-and-blue Trump flag outside her one-story home during the November campaign. Now that she’s been fired from her civil-service job, her days of supporting the president are over reut.rs/41zDzGB

I was right

On Saturday, March 15, Indivisible Cortland County is holding an informational meeting on the impact of these heinous tax cuts on NYS and Cortland County. Join us at the United Presbyterian Church (25 Church Street, Cortland) from 1-3 p.m. to learn more and to find out what we can do to resist.

Republicans are giving $4.5T taxcuts to billionaires that the rest of us will pay for in cuts to vital services. That's $4.5 TRILLION stolen from us. #FightBack

Just so we're clear.

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: Plaintiffs in one lawsuit against DOGE have alerted the court to President Trump's remarks tonight calling Elon Musk the "head" of the office.

This is the crux of it. Leaders *change* public opinion. Trump has *radically* changed public opinion. Democratic consultants who do focus groups aren’t who Democrats should be listening to—they should focus on leading the public and aggressively reshaping views of Trump.

Democrats must abandon consultant approved talking points, and start advocating for transformational policies that will improve life for millions. That means $10 childcare, free public university & trade school, #MedicareForAll, and a moonshot investment in domestic manufacturing.

Impending cuts to #Medicaid that the GOP House passed last week will be devastating to New Yorkers and the people of our town, many of whom rely solely on Medicaid for #healthcare. Call your local officials to ask what they are doing to pressure Congress and the White House to reverse course. #NY19

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said that his office has launched a criminal investigation into Andrew and Tristan Tate, prominent right-wing influencers who returned to the U.S. last week.

"As Trump attempts to remake the federal government into an instrument of destruction, we must both hold the line on our federal courts and also turn to state courts as a critical defense for our civil rights, health and safety."

In the face of so much bad news, it helps to pause for a few minutes now and then to appreciate the joyful and beautiful things around us, like the #GoodNeighbor cafe in #GrotonNY, where this inspiring poster about building #community hangs.

“It's unusual for a sitting president who can't run for reelection to maintain this kind of giant fundraising operation.” Uh-oh. www.axios.com/2025/03/04/t...
