How quickly these complicit Republicans went from “lower prices on Day One” to “He knew he’d crash the market, give him time”

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

"These are defacto tax cuts for the wealthy paid for by the poor" - Steve Liesman on CNBC

This guy has collapsed the economy twice.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy. His attacks on lawyers and law firms are damaging our boat. If he can simply defy court orders, the boat will sink entirely. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

"...if you live in Wisconsin - go VOTE!"

Musk-funded ads “largely hew to the facts in Crawford’s background but focus on hot-button issues such as abortion, immigration and criminal justice reform” with “language that potentially diminishes her standing with moderate or conservative voters” apnews.com/article/musk...

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

"One in five Americans plan to turn their backs for good on companies that have shifted their policies to align with Donald Trump’s agenda, according to a new poll for the Guardian." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Detainees died due to starvation or dehydration. ICE murdered them.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

“After being shaved, the detainees were stripped naked…Their clothes thrust into black garbage bags to be thrown out with their hair…They entered cold cells, 80 per cell, with steel planks for bunks, no mats, no sheets, no pillow. No television. No books. No talking. No phone calls and no visitors.”

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

We’re doing Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo again, except both at once, and to random dads and barbers abducted off the streets of America for the crime of being Latino

#DOGE ..... It's not about uncreasing efficiency; it is about decreasing capability.

On Friday, lawyers for Griffin laid out their case for retroactively disqualifying 65,000 ballots, disenfranchising tens of thousands of registered voters and overturning the election results and Riggs’s victory. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

THIS! 👇

We must all speak out against this and stand in solidarity with Momodou Taal! Never back down. Never be quiet. Keep fighting 🖤🫡🇵🇸

"Project 2025" is too sanitized a name for Republican attacks on our country. It's really "Project Impoverish, Sicken and Kill Americans 2025" That's what they'll do if they succeed in destroying the ACA. Without affordable health care, WE WILL DIE. After suffering. Stop them. #ACASavesLives

Circling back to make sure you don’t miss this part… SCHUMER: One thing I am known to be very good at is how to win Senate seats. We won the two seats in Georgia. We got Jon Ossoff & Raphael Warnock. EVERYONE IN TOUCH WITH REALITY: Stacey Abrams would like a word. @schumer.senate.gov Step down!

What makes the Republican Party such a hotbed of perverts? This is the coauthor of the bill trying to create and legally recognize a new mental illness as, ‘Trum Derangement Syndrome’. minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/18/g...

White men make up 30% of the U.S. population but 74% of top Fortune 500 CEOs. Schools recently joined a program that helps train students from underrepresented groups get degrees in business. But now the Trump administration wants to shut down that program and freeze the inequity in place.

The day of the vote is here and my message hasn’t changed: I am a NO on this reckless CR that will hurt Virginians.

In case it’s not painfully obvious.

This is a first. Today, the most powerful man in the White House is saying OUT LOUD he wants to "ELIMINATE" Social Security and Medicare. Eliminate. Not "cut," not "reduce." Not even raise the retirement age. ELIMINATE. Sit on that for a minute. This is your money.

When I say they hope to overturn the Civil Rights Act I get looked at like I’ve lost my critical faculties. But here is Rufo, in the New York Times, saying they want to overturn the Civil Rights Act (and use anti-discrimination law to protect white people).

Having learned from that process, odds are Trump will try to privatize Social Security within the year. And he may well get away with it, unless we can wake up enough people to this coming scam and put enough political pressure—particularly on Republicans—to prevent it from happening.

Unhappy w/the CHAOS, price of groceries, etc, massive spending cuts, firings & watching your retirement savings disappear? Fed up with a Repub Congress that's letting Trump hurt YOU? Vote for @joshweil.bsky.social & @gayforcongress.bsky.social in FLA's SPECIAL ELECTION April 1 & take back the House!

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

What has Musk been up to up north? Tesla reported selling 8,600 vehicles at four locations in Canada in three days - resulting in $43 million in government EV rebates - just before the government stopped those rebates. A single Toronto showroom claimed over 1,200 sales in a single day.

Tadaa.
