Goldman: "The notion that bc he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous. Every president wins an election. That does not mean they get to just make up whatever laws they want ... Donald Trump does not get to decide what the law is."

I truly wish him the best and thank him for his service. The Dems now have to demonstrate that they are prepared to forge a new path forward in which leadership is selected based on the range of skills we need to effectively navigate this emergency, not exclusively on “next man up” seniority.

I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile. Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

Sure, but what really makes it historic is that this the first time a drop like this has happened due to policies specifically taken by a president with full knowledge that this would likely crash the markets. Totally and intentionally self-inflicted. Unprecedented.

Damn, this bill just introduced by Mark González (LA) and Buffy Wicks (Oakland) would do missing middle style 8-unit zoning with at least 1 subsidized unit everywhere in California. This is the kind of laws we need right now. fastdemocracy.com/bill-search/...

"Democrats have long found the flip phone Chuck Schumer still insists on using as an endearing quirk .... After how he handled the spending fight, many ... are starting to see that phone as a metaphor for a leader who’s out of date and refusing to change as politics changes radically around him."

"It’s something I’m really excited about — to force some generational turnover and a generational shift in power. That will be a net good for the Democratic Party. Primaries are good. If the incumbents are doing a good job, they should have nothing to worry about."

Trump’s chaos risks tanking the economy. His reckless tariff flip-flops fuel uncertainty, market turmoil, and weaker consumer confidence. Businesses can’t plan and families pay the price. More Trump means more instability. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Trump didn't say a word about health care last night. What is he hiding? I spent two hours hearing from Oregonians terrified about what Republican cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will mean for them. When you come for people's health care, you have hell to pay, and this time will be no different.

I guess most people don’t know that when the IRS cuts personnel for audits, they increase the audits on lower income returns cuz the rich people’s taxes are too hard to work with less personnel. But hey at least it’s something else to be wrong & angry about, right?

The idea that the correct conduct from Zelensky could have somehow secured a different outcome from Trump/Vance, who went into the meeting w/the express goal of demonstrating Ukraine's submission to them, is ridiculous. Correct from @brianbeutler.bsky.social www.offmessage.net/p/boycott-th...

You’ve heard of bar crawls, but have you tried little free library crawls? It’s so nice to be able to use our neighborhood little free libraries to help find new homes for books my kids have outgrown & to find new books they love! And extra convenient that so many LFLs are near playgrounds. ❤️

Keep calling your reps, folks. I actually spoke to a real person today to voice my opposition to NOAA cuts and the Andrew Tate shitshow. I focused on how the cuts to NOAA are likely going to directly impact services to his constituents with regards to modeling and resource management.

Wet years alone won’t completely replenish them. Aquifer systems pumped hard enough to cause land subsidence—as in the San Joaquin Valley—are permanently damaged, their ability to store and transmit water irrecoverably reduced. They can’t just be pumped full of water and re-inflated. ⚒️🧵

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
