My name is Martin O'Malley, and I am running to be the next DNC Chair. We need to rebuild our party and reconnect with hardworking people across our country. It's time to get back to the party of FDR. The party that says there is nothing to fear but fear itself. youtu.be/iQWL4WMmZpk

What if every country banned Elon Musk's Starlink ground stations because he uses it to help Putin? How long would it take to bankrupt Starlink? What banks would be willing to buy it out of bankruptcy for a few pennies on the dollar?

What an absolute nightmare. A high school student saw his friends crash their Cybertruck and rushed to help, but was only able to rescue one of them because the car's doors would not open from the outside. He watched his three other friends burn to death. oaklandside.org/2025/03/18/c...

Due process “is how any of us can have confidence that the folks being packed onto airplanes and whisked off to El Salvador are members of TdA—as opposed to US citizens; political dissidents; or others whom the Trump administration would just as soon be rid of.” www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-133-...

He can drag a Sharpie across anything he wants, unless it's a goddamn bill passed by both houses of Congress, the Department of Education isn't going anyway.

🇮🇹 Meloni explained why she insists on extending NATO's Article 5 to Ukraine "If Russia does not plan to invade its neighbors again, it is unclear why it should not accept security guarantees that are purely defensive," Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said.

Hand over all the power plants in your country to the US and 50% of your minerals and we will help broker a peace deal where you give up a big chunk of your country to Putin, among other things.

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has: - ordered the release of Hillary’s emails - ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public - restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation - limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case. The resistance, he ain’t.

NEW: Judge Chutkan has blocked the EPA from terminating grants for climate programs held by Citibank, saying the Trump administration failed to abide by legal procedures and provided no evidence of impropriety. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

More good news

Seeing folks on the other site claim that Alien Enemy Act removals are not reviewable by courts. The statute explicitly requires "a full examination and hearing," and there are literally *dozens* of reported cases from the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II: law.lclark.edu/live/files/9...

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

Even when we are on social war footing, Canadians believe in the importance of being polite. Considerate shoppers make sure to spare the next shopper from having to determine if a product is from the USA.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

🚨🚨🚨Elon Musk has installed a private equity investor and one of his closest allies at the Social Security Administration. Musk says Social Security is a ponzi scheme and wants to cut it. Protect Social security. Fire Elon Musk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Is anyone looking up the procedure for choosing a new Senate Minority Leader?

This should tell you all you need to know.

This is going to be important: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Well, we knew it wasn’t going to be a book. Or a photo of his kids. (Penis enlargement cream behind the Diet Coke)

IF SENATE DEMOCRATS ACCEPT THE GOP C/R — THEY ARE INSANE. THEY ARE SPINELESS PUSSYFOOTED PUTZS WHO ARE BEING PLAY AGAIN BY REPUBLICANS. COME ON DEMOCRATS GET SOME SPINE AND LEARN HOW TO MESSAGE SO THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN!!!

Good.

A benefit would be instant ability to intercept Trump & Musk conspiring with Putin. French and Germans can already do that. Perhaps why they're taking the lead. Britain urged to form breakaway 'Four Eyes' alliance without US https://mol.im/a/14477803 via @MailOnline

More of this, please – 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ICYMI-this is a must see: Representative John Larson (D) calling out Elon Musk and not holding back… Well done! THANK YOU.

Rep John Larson - Connecticut:

Rep. John Larson taking it to the GOP. Must watch. youtu.be/4WmWZ0pZpyQ

Depose Musk.

NEW: Judge Chutkan GRANTS a request for discovery in the case brought by state AGs alleging that the conduct of Musk and DOGE violates the Appointments Clause. The permitted discovery includes documents and interrogatories related to the scope of Musk/DOGE's authority.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

This Republican funding bill is a betrayal of every single American. youtube.com/shorts/h_ABc...

This is some excellent good trouble

Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid" Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports The previous Starship also exploded, in January THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

What does it mean for DOGE to "make mistakes" with seniors' Social Security? Long wait times, underpayments, or no payments at all. The richest man in the world is sticking his fingers in the benefits our seniors have paid for their entire working lives.

Italian PM Meloni suggests extending NATO’s Article 5 to Ukraine without full membership, per FT. Article 5 states that an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all.

Anyone wonder why the Black-bodied Rep Al Green was censured by Congress for shouting truth to evil during Trump's SOTU while the white-bodied Rep MTG was not censored for screaming LIAR during Biden's SOTU?

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed an $840 billion plan to build up the bloc's defense, as President Trump pauses military aid to Ukraine.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

It’s been six days since Chief Justice Roberts’s “administrative” stay in the foreign aid cases. That almost certainly means (1) someone’s dissenting; (2) the Court is trying to reach a compromise; or (3) both. Hard to be sure which it is, but the continuing pause is itself producing plenty of harm.

So our Brexit moment is here. Incalculable self-harm. Paired with isolation. Providing no benefit. Precipitated by nothing. Justified by even less. All at the hands of an autocratic incompetent.

Tuberville: "Zelenskyy's gonna play hardball, but you know what? He's not even in the game. It's gonna be Putin and President Trump and the people on our side that will end up making this decision for the future of Ukraine."
