This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Get your measles vaccine, if you haven't already. Looks like the measles outbreak in W. Texas may have involved thousands of cases. The Trump administration downplays it and casts doubt on vaccines, but they're the primary way we limit the disease's spread. www.statnews.com/2025/03/12/m...

How DOGE will add to the federal budget: It will fire government workers who will be replaced by private contractors at higher rates. It will cancel contracts that will be renegotiated at higher rates.

Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.

"ECONOMIC INDICATORS ARE ALL 'BLINKING BRIGHT RED" THUS, the Putin/Trump/Musk Corporate Fascists propose essentially eliminating economic record keeping, and changing "the way we calculate USA GDP" - a way that suits them better; to obscure the MASSIVE damage that Putin/Trump policies are creating.

Trump once called crypto a “scam”. Now he’s creating a “strategic crypto reserve” with Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. This is will end as the biggest grift ever—another scheme where taxpayers end up bailing out billionaires for their risky bets.
