Our digital producer @samveep.bsky.social went to Palo Alto for a Tesla Protest. There were quite a few, well, signs that the community was upset. Take a look:

Wait, wait, wait — Trump tapped Kari Lake to run Voice of America… and then he dismantled it?!?!?

While the impending government shutdown may have been halted, something new is brewing: a change in winds around Democratic leadership.

If Putin wanted to “see and end to this”, he would stop bombing Ukraine.

NEW: We went to the heart of Silicon Valley to hear what Elon Musk's former community had to say about the tech oligarch takeover. From the frontline of the growing Tesla protest movement and the epicenter of tech bro wealth, this is what Palo Alto wants America to know about their former neighbor:

I honestly cannot believe, it's okay for him to be siding w our adversaries, cutting BoE, stealing SS, cutting out vital prgms. All of this & more. Nobody is arresting him. His entire cab, MAGA in off, is 🇷🇺. Abandoning our allies. How is this normal? Why is he/them not locked up? How? Explain?

Who loves AOC, I do!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

*OZ DECLINES TO RULE OUT CUTS TO MEDICAID

Dr. Oz want to gut Medicare — AND it looks like he cheated on his Medicare taxes. Dr. Oz is once again demonstrating that he cannot be trusted to protect Medicare and Medicaid for millions of people.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

We'll commit to a slice 🥧 Happy Pi Day!

Who is 35 in New York and wants to run for office?

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

Trump whining that Democrats wouldn't applaud him even if he cured a disease and then a second later bragging about withdrawing from the World Health Organization

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point. The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math. Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

Pelosi slams "false choice" on shutdown, indirectly criticizing Schumer

“So stop the hand-wringing. Stop the pearl-clutching. Grow a damn spine, grab a mic, and tell these ass-sucking authoritarian dipshits exactly where they can shove their pseudo-patriotism. Draw the line. Take the gloves off. Play hardball…” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Sen. Klobuchar is a NO

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Brendan Loper. #NewYorkerCartoons nyer.cm/XyTZGmd

“Here is the unavoidable truth: the Washington Post I joined, the one I came to love, is not the Washington Post I left.” Ruth Marcus writes about her decision to resign from the paper in the wake of editorial changes made by its owner, Jeff Bezos.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

The helmets would look fire if they changed to this.#rams #nfl #larams #football #losangeles #superbowl
