www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking info about immigration operataions.

They are sadists in the White House.

That is exactly true.

We joined partners in Georgia for Pride to the Capitol to demand that trans people are treated equally under the law. States are the testing ground for cruel anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that makes its way to Washington. Help fight back in your community: hrc.im/inyourarea

Among the many reasons I’m proud to support @aclu #defenddemocracy #freespeech #freedomofexpression

Mexico and Canada should both ban X and Facebook. As well as every other democracy in the world that wants to stay in existence.

Trump’s $400 million cut to Columbia University sends a chilling message that universities must align with the MAGA agenda or face financial ruin. My statement with @repespaillat.bsky.social:

LOL 😂 Go find MIT grads, Sean! How hard could it be?

Opinion | The FAA is in great hands with Elon Musk. SpaceX hasn't had a rocket explode in over two hours.

Thousands are set to gather Friday in Washington at The Stand Up for Science rally. These rallies are a response to the Trump administration’s actions, which have been seen as a threat to scientific progress.

Thank you to Lady Gaga for never wavering in her support for our community. We are ready to go MAYHEM with you! ♥️

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet. The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk. Now FL travelers are paying the price.

Ukrainian immigrants who fled the ongoing war with Russia and now live in the U.S. with temporary legal status told NBC News they are terrified they could soon face deportation back to an active war zone.

Some 21 million Americans don’t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.

As always with Trump and his regime, the cruelty is the point.

Expect Vance sooner than expected.

Trump’s “detention camps” are concentration camps and his “mass deportations” are ethnic cleansing. Stop using the language of the perpetrator and say it how it really is. Speak truth with your chest. #3E #EndAutogenocide #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

Let’s be clear. Donald Trump isn’t just abandoning Ukraine. By suspending military support and refusing to share intelligence, he’s actively and intentionally supporting Russia.

Banning thousands of qualified transgender servicemembers — who meet EVERY qualification to serve — harms our national security and undermines military readiness. Show up to defend our brave trans servicemembers: hrc.im/transmilitaryban

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...” "Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"Private-sector employment increased by an estimated 77,000 jobs in February, according to ADP. That’s a dramatic drop-off from the strong job growth of 186,000 seen in January and barely half the 142,500 net gain that economists had expected..." www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/e...

NATO is already done. The United States of America is now an ally of the Russian Federation, and an adversary of European democracies.

One thing Trump didn't talk about last night: his plans to abandon American women’s right to abortion care in medical emergencies. I wonder why he wouldn't want anyone to know that.

You gotta love it Please repost this

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

"There is no evidence that Trump is anything other than what he’s been for his entire time in the public eye: an ego-driven creature of boundless envy and vicious, overlapping resentments. Those resentments have led him on a grand tour of retribution against the public."

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you. /1

Musk has lambasted judges in more than 30 posts on his social media site X, calling them “corrupt,” “radical,” “evil” and deriding the "TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY" after judges blocked parts of the federal downsizing that he’s led. He's also reposted nearly two dozen tweets by others attacking judges.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

If Republicans in Congress want to help make our country safe, I have some ideas for them.

Boston doesn’t listen to kings.

Hundreds of fired civil servants at NOAA provided seafood safety, hurricane and snowstorm forecasts, and critical climate science. This week we gathered at their HQ to tell Trump and Elon Musk: we believe in facts, science and truth. Hands off NOAA!

Far more significant than the bombast, bluster, and blatant lies Vladimir Putin’s poodle delivered to Congress: Trump has brought down the curtain on nearly 80 yrs of American dominance in the world. To boot, in 6 wks he’s gone a long way toward wrecking our economy open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

He’s laying the groundwork to dismantle Social Security—just like the rest of our government. If people don’t think Trump, Elon, and the GOP are coming for it, they’re not paying attention.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has *upheld* a lower court's order forcing USAID/State to immediately pay ~$2 billion owed to contractors for work they've alreayd performed. Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch/Kavanaugh dissent. t.co/k86ttz6Wdt

The Trump administration’s orders have created more turmoil and damage at the National Institutes of Health than was previously known.

The felon president who pardoned 1500 violent J6 Capitol rioters he incited that went on to viciously assault American police officers just called for “law and order.”

We’re cooked

Elon Musk and DOGE are not heroes. They are thieves, robbers, and enemies of democracy and the constitution. #SOTU #DemocraticResponse

The Iowa GOP advanced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a healthcare provider to administer a Covid vaccine. Even when a person has requested a Covid vaccine.

🤦🏼‍♀️ this is real — hey @RepHarshbarger wouldn’t it be more appropriate for his face be on $100 IOU’s, the way things are going? #Trumpcession www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

When you think about it, it’s pointless to listen to Trump speak. Because he literally lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. We’ve never, ever had that in a public figure before. He’ll lie tonight about everything, so unless it was your job to watch tonight’s speech, why the hell would you?

Alina Habba, counsel to President Trump, just insulted veterans who work in the government as not 'fit to have a job.' It's disgraceful. There should be an immediate apology, one I'm sure won't happen. My lightning column on this offensive nonsense: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

He's already given the markets explosive diarrhea and nobody around him has the guts to get this demented moron to stop the carnage.
