Goodnight friends ❤️ Get some sleep. Every day, I give up for twenty minutes but decide to push through on the twenty-first. Survival is a ritual, a ceremony, and a practice. Rudy Francisco, Excuse Me as I Kiss the Sky

The important thing right now is not to lose hope and become immobilized. With flooding the zone, that is precisely what they are hoping to do, to make you feel as if you have no voice. It is imperative that every single one of us stay informed and involved. 1/2

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Dark Pence is back.

Not according to Marbury v. Madison.

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

“If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.”

On April 1, Wisconsin has an important job. We need to vote for Judge Crawford to become our next Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. The choice is clear.

Hey Wisconsin! There is an election April 1st, that will decide control of the WI State Supreme Court! Judge Susan Crawford is a beacon of common sense and impartiality.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Courage and integrity are contagious. This is why we’re begging democrats and democratic leaders to hold your votes, deny UC, demand quorum, and stop acting like this is business as usual. @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social

We hurt for more than ourselves by electing him. Far, far more.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

The Trump apologists who tried to make us believe he really was secretly for Ukraine and will be all tough…. Ya, nope. These people need brought forward and called out so we never listen to them again.

I’m sure all these Very Principled & Courageous Republican Ukraine supporters in Congress who complained that Biden was not doing enough to help them defeat Putin will condemn Trump & Hegseth’s remarks today.

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

Europe needs to back Ukraine with everything then freeze Trump out. Make him absolutely unimportant

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

So he can’t fuck up the data but he can leak it. Just to be clear.

I guess if you don't view immigrants as people, it might make sense to store them in shipping containers. Like freight. www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks: 1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

Trump needs to be impeached for giving Musk unfettered access to our government servers.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

He’s on a “personal” mission.

Elon Musk’s achievements to date in the field of human transportation are: cars that drive themselves off cliffs and rockets that explode mid-flight. Teslas have the worst fatality rate in the auto industry. Commercial aviation is so safe, it averages only one accident per 880,000 flights.

NEW: CREW has now filed 65 records requests investigating what DOGE is up to and whether it is complying with the law. You can see them all here:

Holy shit. “USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership involving Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. Key USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.” Follow the money.

So at the same time as Trump is chumming up with Bibi saying they're going to convert Gaza to a resort run by his son-in-law, Trump's CIA is saying they're not going to fight terrorism in the Middle East anymore. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Rally for USAID outside Congress today. Chants of ‘shut down the Senate’

AP Breaking News banner over a March 19, 2024 AP story.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them at one point as “targets.” The website lists mostly Black employees.

Please if you have the time or spoons at all today call your senators and representatives and ask them to do anything possible to kick Elon Musk out of the government. Even if they’re Republicans.

Nixon sent people into the DNC to photograph documents, was going to be impeached, and resigned. Trump sent Elon and others to copy personal information for citizens from data at treasury and department of education. Seems worse and should be grounds for impeachment. Too bad GOP are cowards.

Despicable.

People still need to know about how tariffs work. Just contacted my GOP rep, OH 7, Max Miller. Typical response, "no comments on anything, he is busy with Ways and Means." Me: So then tariffs? Staffer: No, domestic taxes. Me: So then tariffs, cause we pay them to the US government. Staffer: Silence

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
