Thanks White House Communications team for waking up SCOTUS. Much appreciated.

As usual, another excellent piece by @timothysnyder.bsky.social anticipating the next terrorist attack on the U.S., where it may come from, why it is likely, but most importantly, what we can and must do when it does. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

Good article by Lisa Needham of Public Notice explaining the true meaning of the anti-DEI measures of this regime. www.publicnotice.co/p/white-guy-...

Trump signed an executive order that will delay Medicare price negotiations for a range of prescription drugs. This will raise the price of life-saving medicine for millions of seniors and cost taxpayers money. It's a big win for Big Pharma. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

And one more good read for today - This one from @borowitzreport.bsky.social .

Another great piece by @timothysnyder.bsky.social today explaining the implications and significance of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man 'mistakenly' sent to El Salvador whom the Administration claims they can't get back. snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

So he rescinds all tariffs this afternoon, except for China, and the market goes crazy in an upward swing. Tell me he and his buddies didn't buy the dip and make a ton of money today.

Hands Off - About 1200 people in Bridgewater, NJ. It was cold and wet, but the mood was great. Route 22 West was backed up in all three lanes as cars slowed to read signs and honk in support. Pic is only half the line, which continued behind me ... and this was BEFORE the official start time today!

Decomposing Zoolander even found a way to get penguins to turn against him

So much winning. They must be sick of it by now.

Now THAT’s a headline, no notes

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Wisconsin voters have spoken! #GoCheeseHeads

Reminder - the Hands Off protests are this coming Saturday In addition to Washington, DC, there are Hands Off rallies across America. Find a location near you. I'll be attending in Bridgewater, NJ from 1:00-2:30 PM. Get out there, bring friends, be seen, be heard! #HandsOff handsoff2025.com

THIS is how Columbia, and all other university presidents should be responding to the current abuse by the Trump regime. An Opinion piece in today's NY Times by Dr. Kotlikoff, President of Cornell University www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/o...

I've promoted people following @hcrichardson.bsky.social before. And for good reason, I'm not the only one. closertotheedge.substack.com/p/she-connec...

France gets it, South Korea gets it, Brazil gets it. What's so hard about US getting it?
