Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

What a day. What a country! 💪

I need to start some of my mornings like this.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states. Their finances will be turned upside

True story. There were price controls under President Nixon. It led to all sorts of corruption like special relief from price controls for political donors. I wrote about that here 💵⚖️✍🏾 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

If a reporter could hack his way into a Signal chat, imagine what a Russian professional hacker could do.

These motherfuckers are going to kill children. I've been saying it for a year, but RFK Jr might as well be a serial murderer. Watch: they'll start vaccine *bans* within a year. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Wish Australia was on this list

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

JUST IN: Judge Reyes has rejected the Pentagon's renewed demand that she permit the transgender military ban to move forward. Despite new guidance claiming theban is really just about "gender dysphoria," it's still discriminatory, she says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dear Wisconsin, Please help defeat Elon Musk's million dollar bribery attempts to sway this election. Go vote for Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court! 🙏💪

we really need to stop saying “arrested” by ICE. the word you’re looking for is “kidnapped”.

This morning, in the DOGE/Social Security Admin case before Judge Hollander, DOJ reported to the court, essentially, that several SSA DOGE team employees have met the requirements to start being allowed access to personally identifiable information. Among the tasks they are focusing on was this:

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Today, thousands of openly-transgender service members will put on their uniform and do what needs to be done because they honor their oath to our country, while Pete Hegseth denigrates their service and violates his oath by brazenly sharing classified intel in text groups. Just a reminder.

All you need to know about Twitter

Uh... um... wait, what? What is this? Is he high?

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Lamar would clean their clocks. In a miiiiiii-nor!
