If you have a flag of Ukraine, fly it today! I'm changing out my Mardi Gras flag a few days early to honor Zelensky's courage.

SCOOP: Speaker Mike Johnson Is Living in a D.C. House That Is the Center of a Pastor’s Secretive Influence Campaign @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

Judge orders Trump admin to rescind memo directing mass firing of federal workers. OPM “does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe, to hire and fire employees within another agency”

Hundreds of weather forecasters from NOAA were fired including at the Hurricane Research Division

Truly bizarre to throw beads from an armed tank.

USAID supports desperate people abroad, US diplomatic and soft power abroad, and universities and farms at home. Including, and specifically, in Louisiana. If the moral argument means nothing to them, and the geopolitical is lost on them, perhaps the economic will make an impression.

I am now hearing from multiple folks in the past two hours (including some who have personally been fired) that mass firings have now commenced within NOAA--including, yes, at the National Weather Service.

Feeding starving kids in foreign countries isn’t just moral, it also reduces the pressure for families to flee to America for asylum and it sends billions of dollars to US farmers

SOLD OUT.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

Johnson on “waste and fraud”: “we all know it intuitively”

I guess most people grumble about jury duty but during Carnival in New Orleans it’s pretty entertaining. A judge told us we’d have a low chance of having to serve bc everyone wants to be at partying, not doing trials. People cheered. Several are wearing purple, green and gold

Defend Louisiana. Vote no to them all: ❌NO to Kangaroo Courts ❌NO to gutting education ❌NO to kids in adult prisons ❌NO to rigging judicial elections March 29, say #NoToThemAllYall

Defend Louisiana. These amendments put our communities, our economy, and our future at risk—all to benefit special interests and lil Landry’s agenda. Vote NO on all 4! 🐊 #lalege #lagov #louisiana

Excellent reporting on the nascent New Orleans Tourism/Police State Zone. (Having State Police roam the city during Carnival is a very bad idea. This kind of thing is not their specialty.)

There is no call for this. It's the latest elevation of the habitual disrespect the city shows for its own residents and for the open spirit of Carnival itself. All in the interest of placating the wildly misplaced fears of tourism profiteers. www.nola.com/entertainmen...
