I love that badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has absolutely no fucks to give. She will lay the facts out and doesn’t mince words, she also doesn’t give in to political pressure to stay quiet. National treasure.

Steve Bannon does Nazi Salute During CPAC Speech After Calling for a Third Trump Term. Crowd cheers wildly. MAGA is a FASCIST movement just like the Nazis and Mussolini. The options when confronted by FASCISTS are 1. Submit or 2. Destroy them. I pick option #2. www.mediaite.com/tv/steve-ban...

Starting at 10 ET, we expect one or more rulings from #SCOTUS in cases argued earlier this term. The pending emergency application in the Dellinger case may well be decided today, but it almost certainly *won’t* be among whatever is coming at 10.

Last year, we reported on creative ways people are making a difference for the environment in their local communities in a six-part newsletter called "Tiny Nature Triumphs." Here’s a roundup of the stories we shared:

The New York Times reports that the Trump administration has reassigned or forced out several dozen government employees who had been working to fight foreign interference in U.S. elections. Is anyone surprised?

#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Hitler’s appalling Mein Kampf promoted racist & expansionist Lebensraum. He claimed that Germany had the right to subjugate & take control of other countries, via explosion, enslavement & murder those who lived in “his” country. We have been warned.
