I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Republicans in Congress could make all this stop any time they want. Remember that.

Mark my words and please understand: They erase your history so that they can erase your rights.

Swalwell: To Trump I say: Get your ass off the golf course and face the people

When Trump tried to knockout our democracy, the judicial guardrails went up Now the grass roots & political leaders are showing up & speaking out Watch out—democracy is coming back strong!

As if you needed yet another reason to grasp just how wildly ignorant that Trump president is — I know you don’t — but if, for some bizarre reason, you’re still hanging on for one last, teeny-tiny push, well… consider this. 1/4

The president of the NCAA says there are less than 10 trans athletes across all competative college sports. LESS THAN 10 (also, "globalists" wtf) thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

Remember how we told you Trump took out a full page add calling for the death penalty for 5 Black teenagers accused of rape & even after they were exonerated refused to disavow his earlier public call for their execution? For him law exists for cruelty & draconian punishment.He will use & abuse it.

For progressives to succeed in taking back this country, we must stay true to our values and communicate them effectively. Here are the twelve traps to avoid as we make our case to restore an America that is true to its best principles. www.theframelab.org/twelve-commu...

The 8 worst days EVER for the Dow — all of them under Donald Trump −2,997.10 - March 16, 2020 −2,352.60 - March 12, 2020 −2,231.07 - TODAY −2,013.76 - March 9, 2020 −1,861.82 - June 11, 2020 −1,679.39 - YESTERDAY −1,464.94 - March 11, 2020 −1,338.46 - March 18, 2020

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

#ResistanceRoots Tim Walz was born on this day in 1964 in West Point, Neb. Governor Walz believes in radical, woke things like feeding schoolchildren, ensuring tax fairness, developing infrastructure, requiring universal gun background checks and protecting women’s rights.

"Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants," @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes, who "can’t bring themselves to stop someone as far out on the fringe as Loomer from advising the president of the United States." https://theatln.tc/JyLx1smC

“Yes, we deliberately crashed the plane into the ocean, but everything with the evacuation procedure worked very smoothly. So our passengers can take great comfort in that.”

Even as the stock market crashed, President Trump was in Florida at his Doral golf resort and Mar-a-Lago club helping pump up family businesses, evidence that Trump continues to monetize the presidency. A NYT behind-the-scenes look with Theodore Schleifer and Zolan Kanno-Youngs nyti.ms/3XPqyIa

Seems like this should’ve been a bigger deal. 🤷🏼‍♂️ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Convicted Felon, Donald Trump’s March 25th Executive Order targeting voter registration is an authoritarian move to prevent free and fair elections. Listen to @marcelias.bsky.social explain why we need to be paying attention. www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.

His mistake was taking the assignment to begin with rather than resigning. The wisest lawyer so far is SDNY's Hagan Scotten who said when resigning: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

By a 5-4 vote, the justices allowed the administration to freeze millions of dollars in grant funding for diversity and instructional programs at public and private universities.

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

We were on the Senate floor taking on the billionaire budget bill until 3 AM. Got one hour of sleep and came back on a 6 AM flight to this incredible “Hands Off” rally in St. Paul. Cannot believe the crowd!

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

“Harvard now faces one of the most consequential choices in its history: Submit to extortion and make itself complicit in the most profound assault on academic freedom and constitutional governance of our time—or go to court. The stakes are high, but the choice should not be difficult.” (Fixed link)

As markets melt down around the world, Congress could act right now to prevent an economic collapse before markets open on Monday. The only thing standing in the way is a few spineless Republicans.

JUST IN: Trump admin doesn't want to give Judge Boasberg unclassified info on deportation flights involving hundreds of people, but it just gave one of his colleagues classified info on dangers posed by Chinese made drones

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote: Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout? Republicans said no.

Folks should understand Trump’s character by now. He loves supplication and side deals.

The Donald J. Trump Stock Market Crash™

Trump is driving the world to a global depression -and destruction of all US influence - using powers delegated to him by Congress. Congress could recall those powers and save everyone from the disaster Trump is determined to inflict

Instead of being at the arrival of the bodies of four U.S. servicepeople

We had a blizzard along the North Shore this week, and Musk’s answer is to shut off heating assistance? No. I want answers. I fought for this funding for a reason and I’m not just going to sit and watch it get ripped away from Minnesotans.

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.

A few GOP Senators and Reps could join Dems right now to end the fake emergency justifying Trump's tariffs. He'd veto. Let him. Ds can pressure Rs to override. They should hound Rs on this. On the pod, @normornstein.bsky.social brilliantly lays out this path forward: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...
