EU pushes back against Trump tariff threats. “…Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that.” apnews.com/article/eu-u...

Pentagon orders new purge of all social media sites to dump diversity, inclusion mentions by March 5. If they can’t do that by March 5, they have been ordered to “temporarily remove from public display” all content published during the Biden administration’s four years. apnews.com/article/pent...

#Ukraine agreement with #Felon47 reflects a great leader in #Zelensky ! Time and again the Ukrainian leader has proven he is the intellectual , moral, and superior leader that #FatNixon has never been and never will be! thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I will never understand how so many of my former military compatriots forgot their oath to our nation in order to support this destructive tyrant and Project 2024. Never.

A felon convicted of 34 counts of financial fraud who was never held accountable for his crimes using “We are gonna look for fraud” as a cover to deliver tax cuts for the rich while exploding the deficit is the biggest bait-and switch psyop in American history.

Donald not wanting to pay foreign aid that was already appropriated was not an “emergency” justifying immediate Supreme Court intervention. Now Presidential Immunity on the other hand… now THAT should have been a fucking emergency!

It’s the Great America Sales Event! Priced to sell. Don’t miss it 🙄 #WTFamerica #AmericaForSale #GriftersGonnaGrift #GrifterInChief

Struggling families, hungry kids, the disabled, seniors. MI10 Rep. John James talks big about the district, but when it comes to committing to ALL constituents, he bails. Billionaires are a lot more useful to him than you. And he just proved it.

Shade and lies: these are the tools of today's Republican Party as they work to cripple the lives and finances of our nation's lower 90% in order to benefit the top 1%. Deceiver: thy name is Republican.

Let's ponder one of Trump's recent bloviations: giving all adult citizens a portion of the "savings" accrued by firing our fellow citizens: a $5000 gift, if you will. Well, with 260+ million adults (according to 2023 census data), that would amount to roughly 1.3 trillion dollars. Yep. Genius.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

The RNC chair says it again -- the only function of the RNC is voter suppression and election subversion. It is time to take him literally and seriously. Sign-up to Democracy Docket to stay informed. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

NEW: A “survey of our niche audience for our niche audience” was the source for the claim that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. The number isn’t true. Why do administration and elected officials keep relying on it?

No shit.

🚨If YOU live in 1 of these REPUBLICAN districts, these are the MOST vulnerable R's whose seats will be FLIPPED next year if they vote YES to cut Medicaid. Please CALL your representative the vote is TOMORROW & help SAVE this program. YOUR voice does matter and does make a DIFFERENCE. 202-224-3121.🚨

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.

The US Army Chorus singing the reprise/ mash-up of “Do You Hear The People Sing- One Day More” at the Governor’s Dinner, directly at their faces is Savage & hard as hell. It was so Red Wedding. They mean every word. The revolution will be televised. #ArmyStrong #resist www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2aDPnoy/

JUST. PUSH. BACK. ✨

This American will never side with Russia 🖕

This moment isn't about men, women, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, or the LGTBQ community. It's about U.S. citizens. The sooner...we shed the fragmentation...and come together in this fight against fascism...as Americans...the sooner our true power will strike fear into those who would crush us.

We've launched a Wisconsin Supreme Court Race toolkit! Make sure every voter in Wisconsin knows what's at stake! Share now! social.demcast.com/toolkit/WISu...

As Attorney General Brad Schimel tried overturn the Affordable Care Act—putting lives at risk. Wisconsin—he doesn’t care if you can pay your bills or afford care. He only cares about pushing the MAGA agenda. ✅Vote for Judge Susan Crawford by April 1st to protect our healthcare.

All of Europe and Scandinavia are thumbing their noses at Trump’s craven attempt to extort rare minerals from Ukraine—by making their support visible tonight. (Eiffel Tower and other landmarks also sport Ukraine’s colors.)

We love merit, don’t we folks?

That's right, Leader Jeffries

As a reminder, the CHIP program is funded via Medicaid. So the cuts to Medicaid are being made on the backs of the poor & of children in order to give tax cuts to the already-vulgarly wealthy. The vote to slash Medicaid will be on Tuesday. Get cracking in the am & call your reps at (202) 224-3121.

Sen Murphy said that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare & kids on Medicaid. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The tax break for the wealthy? $2 TRILLION. 72 million Americans could lose everything just so the rich can have anything. #DontCutOurMedicaid

😅💙💛 @juergennauditt.bsky.social Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 American journalist: "Your English is very good #Zelenskyy: Yours too." Zelenskyy is sympathetic, honest, brave, self-sacrificing, a hero.

Excellent. Trump is instantly fact-checked by an informed adult (and Trump is not used to that). More of this, please.

An important election for Wisconsin and the US.

🇺🇦🇨🇦Canada will transfer a part of Russia’s frozen assets worth 5 billion CAD, including 25 LAVIII infantry fighting vehicles, 4 F-16 flight simulators, artillery shells, and more, in the coming months. - Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada ♥️THANK YOU CANADA

Excellent. Slava Ukraini!

Wow! So 1+1 really does equal 2. The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shocking—if you ignore science.

Ohhh my god! This is small town, Missouri.

This “nothing will embarrass us in the pursuit of lib ownage” was less sickening when they weren’t purposefully giving babies HIV

It’s time to start wrapping our heads around the real possibility that collective action and even a general strike are required. Musk is working fast to solidify control, do as much damage as possible, and party “opposition” is not up to the fight. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/collective...

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

Enrique isn’t fit to lick clean the boots of Capitol defenders and J6 heroes, @libradunn1.bsky.social @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social @semperwry.bsky.social and Officer Fanone. Disgusting! 🤬
