Mike Waltz has now decided to roll out the story that Jeffrey Goldberg somehow hacked his way into their Signal chat. Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.

We’re in court today challenging an executive order by the Trump administration that denies accurate passports to transgender, non-binary, and intersex people. Everyone deserves the ability to travel safely and freely.

You've got to wonder how many signal chats are going on in the Trump administration that they didn't accidentally include the Editor in Chief of The Atlantic in.

"Nobody was texting war plans" -- Pete Hegseth

Trump has bestowed upon America the most incompetent administration in American History.

"Ballot measures are fundamentally a tool for policy change, but they are also an effective way to put a beleaguered resistance on the offense. Ballot measures are essential building blocks to the country that we want — no matter who is in the White House."

The people out to destroy this Republic hate courage more than anything. Put it in their face, every day.

"Already, some SpaceX employees, temporarily working at the F.A.A., were given official permission to take actions that might steer new work to Mr. Musk’s company." Plus..

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "It's easy to be negative about everything when you've never fixed anything...Negative slogans aren't solutions...Division isn't strength. Negativity won't win a trade war...Negativity won't bring down the price of groceries."

Remember all those times Trump swore he had nothing to do with Project 2025 during the campaign? But now we see it was all part of the grand old plan… That was the okey-doke. Rewriting the U.S. Constitution is next. Watch… #TheWeekend

My 10th publishers note was the hardest one I have written for @contrariannews.org It presented me with a dilemma because of my long & previously great relationship with Paul Weiss and the people who run it 1/x open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

These billionaires ARE pure evil.

Anybody else think the only reason Trump/Hegseth/Musk now claim there was no planned briefing for Musk on China War plans is because they got caught?

$390 million in campaign donations buys a lot of access. After seeing all of the damage Elon has done, and knowing what he plans to do, it is absolute malpractice for Democrats not to be all in on getting corporate and dark money out of politics.

Rick Wilson has told us repeatedly that "Everything Trump touches, dies." As Tesla goes from steep decline to toxic brand to retail pariah, and now begins to cough up blood, Elon Musk - instead of saying "Wow, Rick was right!" - lashes out, in true ketamine style, and suspends Rick's X account.

Ross Gerber, who owns an estimated $105 million in shares of Tesla stock, called on Elon Musk to step down as head of the company, saying that he "destroyed" the company's reputation

Trump is daring the courts to stop him Ignoring orders, defying judges & deporting people under a wartime law—this is authoritarianism in action I’ll discuss tonight @ 7:15pm ET on CNN w/ @erinburnett.bsky.social - TN

Legal expert @stevevladeck.bsky.social joins Jen Rubin to discuss Trump 2.0’s latest attempt to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemy Act for mass deportation—an effort that, unsurprisingly, seems more about political theater than legitimate legal authority.

The math doesn’t work in the president’s economic promises, which will create a giant upward transfer of wealth. Trump’s tariffs will be paid by the poor – while his tax cuts help the rich. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/15/trump-tariffs-robert-reich

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

The USA is tragically becoming a fascist nation. We're unrecognizable to many in the world 💔

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

UPDATE: The most fatalities were in Missouri. Forecasters warned that tornadoes, hail and violent winds continue to threaten states in the Deep South, from Louisiana to Georgia.

Trump announced he is doubling tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% as a retaliation for Ontario’s 25% surcharge on electricity exports to several US states.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on consumers. That is what is being said on all the financial shows this morning. Get set to pay more for everything from washing machines to cars. Who voted for a self-made recession by Trump?

Directives from the Trump administration do not change federal disability laws. If you’re in the federal workforce and have a disability, know your rights.

This is not normal. We are seeing America breaking apart at the seams.
