I am unhappy with nearly everything Trump is doing, but ending the Ukraine War is not one of them. It was easily avoidable and could have been easily ended at any point, but the financial interests that call the shots saw a chance to weaken Russia. caityjohnstone.medium.com/this-war-was...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In all the fundraising emails I'm getting from Democrats, I have yet to read anything about what they screwed up to get us to this place or what they're going to do differently if they regain power. If they regain power at any level, they must govern like it's their last chance at bat.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is now trying to buy Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court majority. Election is on April 1—the first statewide election of the new Trump/Musk era. Musk wants to own state-level courts to thwart any possible check on their coup. Help us fight back. secure.actblue.com/donate/wisde...

This is dangerous. Trump wants to hand over FAA to Musk and SpaceX. This means your taxpayer-purchased air traffic control facilities and equipment, packages, and emergency flights would be under control of SpaceX, which is unchecked by the flying public and U.S. military.

Again, Trump fired SBA Inspector General Mike Ware after he found $200 billion in fraud in Trump's COVID programs and returned $40B to the US Treasury. Instead, Trump brought in a bunch of fascist boys who know nothing about accounting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Elon Musk paid less for the United States government than he did for Twitter. Remarkable how low the bidding was.

This is common when businesses do mass firings to cut costs to look more profitable & goose their stock price. The consequences could be more serious than losing your widget expert when it involves nukes. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

As Democrats start looking for presidential candidates for 2028, they should choose someone who is an excellent communicator, has a track record of enacting progressive policies that help working & middle-class families, & not backing down from fights with oligarchs. Do they have anyone like that?

Has anyone called their bank, credit card company, or investment firms to ask how they are protecting your money after the DOGE data breach of the Treasury? You should.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

If Hegseth is sincere about wanting to cut Pentagon waste, most of it goes to for-profit contractors & bloated weapons systems, not the uniformed military themselves. www.mediaite.com/tv/defense-s...

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202. I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.
