Can’t make this up.

World’s richest man paying Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition endorsing his political ideology

Breaking News: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from banning transgender people from serving in the military.

It's a bop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFoI...

"When strange things happen and no one reacts, then everybody normalizes." @timothysnyder.bsky.social explains why public protests of Donald Trump's policies are "of the first importance."

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Trump’s military ban on transgender service members, ruling it unconstitutional. The court found no evidence supporting claims of reduced readiness, citing the honor & excellence of trans troops. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Inspiring story (credit to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for sharing) about a news editor who fought back against the Klan. "Fascism always fails. It is destructive and it is awful and not everyone lives to see the other side, but it always, always fails." dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

The eventual fate of the GOP

🇷🇸 Serbia: March 14th saw the largest protest in Belgrade against dictator Vucic since the 2000 protests against dictator Milosevic. Those protests eventually led to Milosevic's overthrow and extradition to the Hague for his war crimes and genocide. He died in a prison cell.

In case you doubted that he’s a russian asset, know that VOA was instrumental in keeping the hope of freedoms alive in the Soviet Union and is hated with a passion by putin for exactly that. This is no accident.

Senate democrats appear poised to remind everyone why people didn't show up to vote for democrats in 2024.

Rep. Jamie Raskin and I discuss Trump's attack on the Constitution and what every American can do to fight back against DOGE. youtu.be/TYnN9hqmGN4

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

"Randall hosted a morning town hall Saturday in Bremerton that filled up in minutes. Rather than turning the overflow crowd away, she immediately held a 2nd session. 'I want to hear from everyone who took the time out of their day to be here,' she wrote online..." www.advocate.com/politics/hug...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

Good morning! #TaxDollars

Might save a life.

National Parks cuts makes absolutely no friggin sense 💥😡

What you want from economic policy is constant chaotic day to day volatility combined with extreme complexity and opacity.

With his permission, I'm sharing Dean Treanor's response to Ed Martin's letter:

What a front cover...

A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama." "How would you characterize it?" Trudeau, speaking for a weary nation, “Thursday."

My first poem in decades. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

LOL

Several others have aptly summarized this. Republicans now get a number where they can call Elon and ask for the law to be followed for things that were cut but which they want back. So Elon is in charge of federal spending. And you can go to him hat in hand.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

“Thank you again. Thank you again,” he says to John Roberts. Then he awkwardly slaps him on the shoulder and says, “Won’t forget it.” The moment has an almost classic mob boss feel to it in context. joycevance.substack.com/p/lets-be-ho...

Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Absolutely stunning. Trump to Chief Justice Roberts: "Thank you again. Thank you again. I won't forget."

We will always lead the charge to hold Trump and his henchmen accountable. If the press isn’t there to expose him, we’re happy to. That’s why we exist. We won't let him get away with turning this country into something it’s not. Support the mission: bit.ly/3WNK7wY

Veterans are 6% of the adult population but 30% of the federal workforce (they get preference in hiring). Which means Trump and Musk are already firing thousands of people who put their lives at risk for their country, many with disabilities they acquired in their service.

Drones have made the war in Ukraine deadlier than ever, a shift that will alter how future wars are fought.

We all know what they say about people who make assumptions.

“The people who want to pull back America’s leadership in the world under the pretense of being for “America First” are making us weaker, poorer, and less secure. They are giving away our long-term strategic advantages…And for what?” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
