We need more people like Frankie in the world.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

Developing: Trump has suspended new tariffs on Mexico...not Canada...for the moment. We are watching a masterclass on how he ran 6 of his businesses into the ground.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the reinstatement of NLRB board member Gwynne Wilcox, and has some choice language for Trump, whose self-depiction as a king "fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers. Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

I miss John Lewis. I even miss John McCain. Fighters on opposing sides. ...but both lions who would crawl through a mile of broken glass to defend our nation against fascism.

BREAKING - Trump KILLING veterans' healthcare and benefits Firing 83,000 employees from Veterans Administration (VA) Perhaps the biggest insult to veterans in American history Why? To force them into PRIVATE insurance and healthcare -- this is a giant giveaway to corporates

jesus, Iowa

D.C. Circuit panel allows Trump to remove Dellinger as head of the Office of Special Counsel—a devastating decision for the thousands of federal workers, fighting unlawful firings, who were relying on Dellinger to help them get their jobs back. Very surprising that the liberal judge didn’t dissent.

Doing more than any other president ever has to annihilate the jobs of his own voters, Trump now moves to cut over 80,000 jobs from the Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that provides health care and other services for millions of veterans. apnews.com/article/vete...

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Dear Democrats in Congress, Trump and Musk are breaking laws everyday. They are criminals. We should say so, loudly, 24/7/365. They are criminals and are betraying our country and our Constitution everyday. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Four votes for contempt of court being okay.

Crockett: Let me ask each of the mayors… Have any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions that has still been able to roam in your cities? I know that my Republican colleagues would never want anybody with 34 felony convictions roaming around

Trump isn’t cutting waste and abuse. He’s cutting programs that help regular people - like Medicaid - to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. He only closes agencies that were stopping his rich friends bilk consumers.

The timing is impeccable. 538 is shutting down the day they started showing a negative approval rating for Trump. www.niemanlab.org/2025/03/five...

Economist Richard Wolff gives us a very important history lesson in only a minute

BREAKING: Internal memo reveals that the Trump administration plans to cut over 80,000 workers from Veterans Affairs. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Look up the bonus army if you want to know what happens when you cut veterans benefits during a massive depression. This will not end well. apnews.com/article/vete...

“I won’t forget” ?

One more time for the people in the back.

So don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings: but DOGE canceled the lease on the facility that processes and stores all the nuclear waste created by the US military. Sorry. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

interested to see what happens when the social security checks stop flowing

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” Theodore Roosevelt

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

Tariffs UP. Groceries UP. Exports DOWN. Stock market DOWN. Consumer confidence DOWN. Chance of a recession UP UP UP. After Trump left, it took Biden 4 years to rebuild the US economy. It’s taken Trump just 6 weeks to destroy it again.

A brilliant Banksy.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes

"I'm burning America down and making it illegal for you to complain about it."

Some folks treat education like an expense. I think that stance is not just shortsighted – it’s wrong. Investing in our kids – quite literally in the future of our state – is the best investment we can make.

This is a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment but a lot of cowards in academia will use this as an excuse to crack down on campus protest.
