If you’re in the neighborhood…

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Dear Democrats, Shut down the government. Shut down the government. Shut down the government. Shut down the government. Shut down the government. No CR. No surrender.

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

New Yorkers and DC residents trying to talk with @schumer.senate.gov are having to push notes through a locked door with police posted outside.

NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

The Department of Education began layoffs for 50% of its staff on Tuesday night. PA schools receive $1.6 billion per year from the DOE. Without DOE funds, property taxes will have to increase to make up for lost federal funds. Watch @repsummerlee.bsky.social speak in support of public education.

NEW from me - Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

"By rejecting passivity, Sanders is also doing more to actually put Republicans—who’ve recently been ordered to abandon town halls in the wake of mounting anger from their own voters—under pressure."

Former Trump spiritual adviser faces charges of lewd acts with a child

@juddlegum.bsky.social's MuskWatch rolls out the DOGE tracker, showing that $96B of DOGE's claimed savings are bullshit. doge.muskwatch.com

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

I bet columbia university has some decent legal resources they could focus on the state disappearance of a columbia university student, if they were in the mood

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk and his co-president Donald Trump think this country should work for billionaires and everyone else should just bow down. I joined Lloyd Doggett, @gregcasar.bsky.social, and over 3,000 people in Austin, Texas to deliver a message: We are not bowing down!

They are destroying the economy for no good reason. They are undermining the government for no good reason. They are terrorizing workers for no good reason. They are abandoning our allies for no good reason. They are doing it to see how far they can go. It will get worse if they aren't stopped.

"There is no unifying plan, and they will burn the country into the ground, you know, out of service to dear leader, Elon and Donald, so buckle up," Lucy Caldwell, former campaign manager for Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL).

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

"As the country races towards a recession, Trump golfs." Why are Democrats not saying this??

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

DEMOCRATS 📢 The base is growing because we’re pissed off. People who were never engaged before are showing up. If you’re not listening, you’re missing the moment. 1️⃣ Get out of DC. Your constituents have stories—hear them 2️⃣ Tell their stories—loudly @repsuhas.bsky.social gets it. Follow his lead.

The Regime just cut off $400 million worth of federal funding for Columbia University in NYC because of the Gaza protests that took place there in 2023. This is an incredibly sinister attack on first amendment rights. MAGA despises universities as much as anything else. This is an egregious attack.

My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously. Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.

My new motto: Come and tame these tempers, assholes. #severance

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Conservatives rage that Democrats didn’t stand for the cancer-stricken child Trump exploited—but they ignore his cuts to cancer research. Pure performative outrage.

I remain stunned that we don’t have a half dozen Democratic senators competing to see who can be the biggest thorn in Trump’s side.

The stakes are just too high.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

In Trump’s SOTU address, he claims to be chosen by god and says he’ll take Greenland “one way or another”, “reclaim” Panama, impose punitive tariffs, end “wokeness”… A masterclass in wild egomaniacal bullshit and ugly threat, delivered to standing ovations. Christ America. You’ve completely lost it.

Kenyatta: Trump in just six weeks has made life more expensive, has made America sicker, has made us weaker. And he got up on that stage and just lied to the American people. The only American energy that was unleashed was the full gaslighting that we saw in front of our face.
