I helped! www.retailbrew.com/stories/2025...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

@maddow.msnbc.com you forgot to mention this one: www.threads.net/@theartcande...

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

Please take 30 minutes & listen to my convo with NERD REICH editor @gilduran.com - one of the few people who understands WHY Trump, Musk, & the broligarchy are celebrating America's economic collapse. It sounds scary & absurd, but Gil has all the receipts. thelefthook.substack.com/p/why-musk-a...

Professors who study authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03...

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Before you get too excited because there are some Republicans going after Hegseth, remember, this allows them to look “reasonable” and not have to attack Trump

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)

The Senate voted 56 to 44 to advance Trump's FDA commissioner, who was a "herd immunity" supporter during COVID. 3 Democrats joined Republicans in voting yes: Durbin Hassan Shaheen

They attacked Hillary Clinton for using the wrong email account and now they're texting war plans to journalists. So everything is fine, really.

IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts at agency So what's gonna happen to us if we don't file? They can't arrest us all or can they...

Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

And we’re not stopping until @schumer.senate.gov steps down. Senate Democrats are the opposition party—it’s time they act like it. We can’t keep letting Trump and the GOP steamroll Schumer. Enough!

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

My travel warnings to Canadians have been picked up in @newsweek.com. The arbitrary kidnapping of travellers by ICE is a breach of law. The US is acting like a gangster state putting international travellers at serious risk. www.newsweek.com/charlie-angu...

yeah I think she could win a general tbh

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Days after Anonymous put out an international travel warning urging all to avoid travel to the US, several countries including the UK, Denmark, and Germany have put out travel warnings to the United States due to the heightened danger towards foreign nationals by the Trump regime.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I think Marco Rubio needs to be sent back to school because when you say that someone doesn’t have a right to have a country, that’s an act of war. When you arbitrarily rip up trade agreements, threaten a country, say you’re going to break it, that’s an act of war.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, how many fights can you pick before you prove to the world that you lose every single one of them?

Schumer on CBS claims "one of the Republican senators who knows said to us, 'you'll be in the shutdown for six to nine months until we totally destroy the federal government.' So the shutdown was a much worse alternative."

@schumer.senate.gov is much much worse than I thought 🤦🏻‍♀️. GOD help America! 🙏

What we saw last night in the Senate was outrageous! When an arsonist is burning down your house, you don’t write them a check for more fuel.

If we continue on the current erratic path, US allies will greatly reduce US arms purchases, potentially costing us trillions of dollars over the years. The US military industrial base could then collapse unless the US actually goes to war, necessitating industrial mobilization.

Canada is now reconsidering the $14.2 billion purchase of 88 American F-35 5th generation stealth fighters. Yesterday Portugal ruled out their previously-planned purchase of about 24 F-35s to replace 27 F-16s. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Please remind me how following rules and norms on hijacked planes helped prevent 9/11? Or should I ask @schumer.senate.gov this question? I believe he knows.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I’m going to take this a step further: If you vote no on cloture, but do not publicly call for Schumer’s resignation, sit down until you have something worthwhile to say.

Every. Accusation. Is. A. Confession.

That’s the answer.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Wow, a day after there's a change of leadership in the Liberal party, Justin Trudeau unloads on the failure of the head of the Conservative party for not getting a security clearance check that every other party leader has undergone.

American markets are tanking because Donald and JD are determined to fight with key US markets. Bourbon companies were planning big expansion - that's all off the table. Canada and Europe are walking away. It ain't rocket science: don't make enemies of friends. apnews.com/article/tari...
