This: “The choice isn’t simply between open and closed borders, asylum and amnesty or disappearances and deportations. This picture of migration is one in which all nations, rich and poor, participate in a great network of human movement, linked by cultural, economic, historical and family ties…”

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Heading into the #finalfour: If #auburn or #duke advance I should be on the podium in my pool 9:15pm: Ok, I can still win it all if Duke becomes champion 2am (baby wakes up, check my phone): well, maybe the pool will pay out top 5 2:04am: Duke lost HOW?! #marchmadness

Look at all these paid protestors taking to the streets all across the country today. That must be so expensive!

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

🧵 To dodge Senate rules and slash taxes for the ultra-wealthy, the GOP is trying to rewrite math itself. Don’t be fooled. Here’s how Republicans are trying to rip you off with a bogus math trick:

Got ‘em!

A beautiful peace of writing.

For nearly a century, our nation has upheld the sacred promise of Social Security — that hard work is rewarded with dignity and respect when one retires or becomes disabled. Donald Trump is breaking that promise. We can't wait for the damage to set in, it's time to stand up.

🚨🚨🚨 So we're hitting the crisis point, with the apparent defiance or evasion of court orders on deportations and immigration, plus shutting down agencies, cancelling grants, and firing civil servants contrary to existing law. And claims from DOJ that Article II of the Constitution enables autocracy.

A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place. Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

@shaheen.senate.gov @senator Hassan For NH, please have more guts than your leader and vote no on cloture

Sen Dems vote against CR. Then demand a new minority leader.

This is what Russia does

NEW from me - Tim Walz is headed back out on the road – this time, for a tour of House districts represented by Republicans who have stopped holding in-person town halls amid the raucous receptions some of their colleagues have gotten across the country. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

🫢 who could have possibly foreseen this?!

Bill Cassidy should have his medical license suspended for putting politics above his oath #measles #measlesoutbreak #vaccinesareSAFE #getvaccinated www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The cost of an infomercial on the White House lawn is about $100 million

@shaheen.senate.gov @ Senator Hassan. As a constituent, make the GOP do this themselves. The House bill is not a clean CR. It’s a mockery. #voteno #senatedemocrats

I feel like I used to see more of these updates. Did it stop or did we go numb to the stories? #trump #doge #presidentmusk

👨‍🍳 😘

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Silver lining: Europe became a Union yesterday. 🇪🇺

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is f&$*^d

By all means don’t listen to the voters

Inca Trail

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid. So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
