Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm seems rather quaint now.

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

Not only did America elect a spoiled five-year-old as president—he’s unraveling because he’s losing and can’t handle being called out. STARTED. GOING.

Hi, I’m God. I’m not sure how so many people became brainwashed, but I’m seriously considering another flood.

Trump says children just need to live with fewer toys because of his tariffs: “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls.”

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

This is good messaging for Dems and it happens to be true

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

I did not have Gustavo Dudamel/LA Philharmonic/Cynthia Erivo/Purple Rain on my Coachella 2025 Bingo card But thankful it happened

NEW: MORE BOMBSHELLS The Pentagon’s former chief spokesman is warning that more “bombshell stories” about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are coming — set to leak within days, and that members of Hegseth’s own inner circle will applaud his inevitable ouster. Meanwhile… The White House is…

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Does this impact any Republican districts in Maine ? If so, Ask that representative why he is putting Trump ahead of his district ! Canadians to Maine: No, thanks! www.cnn.com/2025/03/20/t...

Great question! Too early to tell. But in 2 yrs we will be hearing more

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.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

1. Find a team that is desperate and has no other options, and 2. whose coach wants to be fired mid-season.

They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Not asking much… Make America Normal Again

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Hegseth says firing of top military lawyers was about making sure "they don't exist to be roadblocks to anything that happens."

Trump issued an executive order on Jan 20th, just hours after he took office, allowing his own people to bypass Top Secret security clearance. This makes a lot more sense now. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

There are a lot of people just ASSUMING Trump won't follow orders from judges. Given the squawking about Judge Engelmayer's ruling enjoining Treasury (not ENTIRELY unfairly), they're treating it as real. There have been reports of compliance elsewhere. There will come a time Trump ignores orders.

🎶oh the times they are a-changin'🎶

On changes to #NIH indirect rates, there is a law in place that prohibits NIH from making such changes without the approval of Congress. See Division D, Title II Section 224 of The Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law No: 118-47) grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

119 national organizations, including the AFL-CIO and the National Women’s Law Center, write to Congressional leadership demanding they investigate Elon Musk’s “illegally interfering and disrupting essential government operations”. nwlc.org/wp-content/u...

A whole bunch of people who were totally cool with posting the addresses of NIH/CDC employees during COVID are now absolutely apoplectic that people would publish the mere names of people forcing their way into government agencies and accessing sensitive data. Weird, huh?

More than 1,000 EPA employees are told they could be dismissed immediately www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

Also useful to remember just last term SCOTUS in NRA v Vullo reaffirmed it is a 1A violation for officials to "threat[en] adverse government action in order to punish or suppress speech." If this letter is intended to chill protest agst DOGE and speech about DOGE, it is blatantly unconstitutional.
