THE BAD NEWS: One of the feral cats had kittens. THE GOOD NEWS:

The stock market is crashing so badly that you might feel like we are being led by a guy who went bankrupt 6 times.

My father, and a few million other young men of his generation, put their lives on the line. Over 400,000 of them died to rid the world of the same kind of fascist poison that now dominates the Republican party. How is this even possible?

Today’s BlueSky foto is is a sunset at Crystal Cove, California.

He is the hardest working President of all time! He is busy sending legal immigrants to concentration camps, ignoring court orders, meeting with, and sending tax payers money to dictators…There is so much WINNING going on. trumpgolftrack.com

My thoughts and tariffs go out to poor Kristi. Sometimes, bad things also happen to bad people!https://apple.news/Atcjcb_UiTQSBQCHSs6AKQw

I don’t mind paying taxes when the poor can’t. But, to hell with paying taxes when the rich won’t!

Reported earlier today that a new DOGEr, Roland Tenglong Shen, who works at Thiel-backed payments company Ramp, is now at Treasury's central payments hub. A request for comment through LinkedIn went unanswered and now Shen's LinkedIn profile has disappeared. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/rampi...

Have at it maga!

My favorite one so far.

History always has a lesson.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

A reminder that while Democracy Docket was warning that Pam Bondi was an election denier who would do Trump's bidding, the Washington Post was giving her a literal thumbs up. Forget the legacy media, sign up for Democracy Docket today. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

Bulwark double feature today on @nicollewallace.bsky.social with me and @timmiller.bsky.social.

#ProudBlue Trump loves to accuse the judges who dare to thwart him with charges of corruption, party bias, or personal prejudice. The evidence says otherwise. The problem is that he just keeps breaking the law.

@duckworth.senate.gov house now come to the floor. Democrat from Illinois. She lost her legs while on a mission in the military. She has sacrificed greatly for this country and is adamant about our democracy remaining in place. Former military personnel and soldiers

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

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.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

NEW: Internal staff email from Smithsonian secretary Lonnie Bunch addressing Trump’s executive order. “As always, our work will be shaped by the best scholarship, free of partisanship, to help the American public better understand our nation’s history, challenges and trumphs.”

Only the best people

NEW: On Tuesday, as the Signalgate scandal raged, DOGE employees were given a new "records retention policy" reminding them to preserve their Signal messages and disable auto-delete. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Every time the US has been in strife, Canada has shown up and done so WITHOUT asking for a thank you or for reimbursement. Canadian lives have been lost in order to help the US save theirs. Beware, if Trump’s America can turn unprovoked on their closest ally, they WILL do it to all of them.

Yep

The two billionaires running our country straight into the ground seem to have skipped American history because our Constitution is clear: Congress has the power of the purse. Presidents don't write laws—they execute them.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

And now he’s giving away million dollar checks??? Come on man. I hope the #Wisconsin AG takes this seriously.

This is why loyalty to dear leader can’t be the only job requirement…Nice job Senate. We’re all in danger now.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Alina Habba blatantly lies on Fox: "He is skyrocketing right now ... President Trump's approval rating is at an all-time high of anyone."

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Really wish more people in THIS country would learn this lesson.

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

Trump’s WH Faith Advisor is selling blessings for $1000-
