Under pressure from DOGE, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month. The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Sanders: What the ruling class of this country does… is essentially tell you that you are powerless. They say, ‘Ain’t nothing you can do — because we, the oligarchs, got all the money, we own the Congress’ Well, we’re here this evening to tell them: hey guys, you got it wrong.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sanders: We are seeing unbelievable turnout. We were in Idaho — Idaho! — and 12,000 people showed up. We had 20,000 in Salt Lake City. I think what the American people — Republicans, Independents, and Democrats — are saying is: Sorry, Mr. Trump, we don’t want your oligarchy.

I no longer listen to or believe the mainstream media ...... I listen to Meidas Touch and other sources I now trust for the actual facts ...... Thank you for your efforts......and never give up ...... We need you more than ever in these dangerous times.

Hope this helps.

CHINA STRIKES BACK: China increases its retaliatory tariffs on US imports to 125%, following Trump’s tariff increase to 145%. Xi Jinping says China is “not afraid” in new public comments.

The sad truth is the whole world except for Putin has lost confidence in our ability to effectively govern and it’s going to take years to fix this mess…

I will never jeopardize your Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security for tax cuts for the wealthy. I will fight for everyone in this district–full stop.

Yesterday, I voted NO on the SAVE Act and voted NO on the Republican budget plan that will gut Medicaid and food assistance in our nation. We must protect our people and their rights.

Our representatives should be working for us, not working to get the inside scoop. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.

Donald Trump's tariff flip-flops are causing chaos on our markets. While middle-class investors lose out, his billionaire buddies and MAGA minions get to pad their bottom line.

You tell 'em, AOC!

Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when? I’ve called for all Members of Congress to immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week. We also need to ban members of Congress from trading stock, once and for all.

Members of Congress shouldn’t be trading stocks. Period. Full stop. The Speaker must take action to ensure all member trades during Trump’s tariff chaos over the last week are disclosed IMMEDIATELY. And put our legislation to ban stock-trading on the House Floor for a vote!

The economy is cratering, the White House has fractured the country’s longest-standing global alliances, and foreign nations are marking the end of American dominance. And Donald Trump is focused on slandering his first-term enemies.

NEWS: A helicopter tragedy in New York, near plane crash in D.C., stock market in free fall, tariffs rising, immigration enforcement tries to visit elementary schools, and social security is under attack. Lot's of news today. Here's what you missed. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

IN ONE HOUR: Trump is blatantly manipulating the market and @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social are discussing it on an all new episode of The Breakdown at 7 PM ET. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/HgGBNV0...

With the SAVE act passing through the house I would like to remind everyone that it took the Taliban only 3 years to ban women from speaking #waronwomen #SAVEact

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

What always sticks out to me when we go on this Trumpian merry-go-round is the ritualistic humiliation he subjects for people who work for him. Scott Bessent says this was the plan all along, despite telling everyone it wasn't the plan for weeks.

Republicans chose tax cuts for billionaires over life saving healthcare. Republicans chose to disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans over bogus claims of voter fraud. Republicans chose to let Big Banks screw over working Americans. We, the people, are their last priority.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Instead of preventing voters from participating in their democracy, Congress should pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure our democracy works for everyone––no matter their gender or zip code. #HandsOffHerVote

Question: Why didn’t Trump impose tariffs on Russia like he did on the rest of the world? Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett: “There is an ongoing negotiation with Russia and Ukraine. And I think the president made the decision not to conflate the two issues” (Trump imposed tariffs on Ukraine)

What a fucking idiot.

Elon Musk’s frustrations with White House trade policy became public Saturday when he called for a vast free trade zone — and took aim at fellow White House advisor Peter Navarro over Trump’s new tariffs plans.

how did you think they made the eggs white

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

Props to George Soros. Hundreds of thousands of paid protestors yesterday, and yet not a single copy of a check or any evidence of electronic transfers to them.

On Tuesday night, Judge Susan Crawford was elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a decisive 10-point margin, a rebuke of Elon Musk, who spent $20 million in an attempt to buy the seat. And that's just the beginning. For more progressive victories, don't miss this edition of the Week In Wins.

Here they are: 15 of the absolute best, most brilliant, most cutting, and most creative protest signs we spotted across the more than 1,300 demonstrations against the Trump regime on Saturday.

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster. Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.
