wait is he confessing that he doesn't even sign these EOs himself

In the, apparently increasingly likely, event that someone doesn't receive their Social Security benefit I would recommend that your first stop not be trying to call SSA directly. Report it to your local Congressperson or Senator's office, using their website constituent services form if possible 1/

Brad Schimel and his staff smiling and laughing before he starts his press conference on rape kits

Project 2025’s Education Department dismantling plan calls for moving oversight and implementation of funding for students with disabilities to HHS. Trump is using Project 2025 like a checklist.

Yes, they are sending the Venezuelans (that Judge Boasberg ordered them not to deport) to Guanatanamo on this flight yesterday. The New York Times confirmed it. And ANOTHER “slave ship” flight to Gitmo left Laredo TX earlier today.

having their executive order to combat antisemitism be order number "14188" is the kind of thing they do to make us look crazy for pointing it out.

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

Majority of white men voted for Trump. Majority of white women voted for Trump. But it’s Black people need to be booed relentlessly? Respectfully, you got this all fucked up.

U.S. intel, including the CIA, have shared the assessment with the White House over the past week that, contrary to Trump’s claims, Ukrainian troops are not surrounded in western Russia's Kursk region. Yet, Trump has continued to claim otherwise.

Oh yes, surely Elon Musk is desperate for our deepest secrets out of his sheer responsibleness and carefulness.

Judge Crawford is a former prosecutor, a common sense judge, and a mom. She trusts women to make their own health care decisions. Brad Schimel doesn’t, but she always will. That's what's at stake.

This is a mission everyone should be able to get behind. Tens of thousands of Ukrainian children have been torn from their families. No effort must be spared to bring them home:https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-halts-program-track-abducted-ukrainian-children-lawmakers-2025-03-18/

Brad Schimel let 6,000 rape kits sit untested for over two years—and then lied about it. He's as corrupt as they come. www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/p...

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Many Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s accounting for years, but they have never gained much traction – until now. Today, the Financial Times has released a new report pointing to a $1.4 billion gap in assets.

🤨

We told you it would happen. Trump and Musk are abandoning our veterans because they've never cared about the men and women who serve.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Elon Musk doesn't want you or his investors to see this video. It would piss him off bigly if you shared it because Tesla's already in something of a death spiral. By the way, it's a fantastically interesting video & includes Space Mountain technology & Disney secrets. youtu.be/IQJL3htsDyQ?...

Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and gives them to Russians to erase their heritage and demoralize Ukraine. Over 20,000 so far. And the US just stopped helping track these kids and likely deleted the database of all the research. Pure evil, right maga?

You mean like Bud Light?

I'm fighting every day to protect Medicaid. But it's going to take all of us. Call your members of Congress. Share your stories. Tell your friends to do the same. We have to stop this GOP attack on our healthcare.

The USPS is an incredibly important service we tend to take for granted. Shipping one of my mugs through them is around $10. Shipping them with any private company is more than double that price. Small business need the USPS.

By popular request, today’s new writing is a return visit to my accidental letterpress project!

Here's the list

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 USDA halts millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks The halt in deliveries comes after the Trump administration separately slashed $1 billion for schools and food banks to buy food from farms. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Everyone always talks about the Navajo Code Talkers, but folks need to know about Tuscarora Code Talkers too 😭 there were several other tribes (including my own!) essential to our success in WWII that still don’t get recognized to this day

This is such a great read from @marawilson.bsky.social about growing up, friends, being a child actor, and what we go through when someone close to us dies. www.vulture.com/article/mara...

One of the best pieces of advice I received when I started a law firm in 2021 was to focus on “the shark closest to the boat.” When you feel overwhelmed, step back and focus on the threats that pose the most immediate risk. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Exclusive: Get ready for worse health care and more medical errors unless this ongoing illegal impoundment is stopped and quickly reversed. www.offmessage.net/p/the-trump-...

Nobody likes waste. But what a lot of people don’t realize is that, in many ways, government is *designed* to be inefficient. It’s structured with redundancy and complexity both for audit and control purposes and because it tries to satisfy multiple competing societal goals. 1/2

Folks, exactly 5 years ago today I made this offer, & I'll do it again. Many graduate students are in danger of losing their one field season for collecting data- in March 2020 because of the pandemic, now because of Musk-Trump BS. This means that many won't be able to finish graduate school. 🧪🧵

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.

Absolutely eye-popping number from the new YouGov/Economist poll (3/16-18): Trump is at 56% unfavorable among voters 65+, with only 44% viewing him favorably He was at 51% (unfavorable) and 47% (favorable) at this point in February (2/9-2/11). That is a big shift in a key demographic.

What horseshit from DOD that they "mistakenly" deleted pages on the Navajo Code Talkers, black Medal of Honor recipients, Jackie Robinson, and more. They labeled them DEI and deleted them and then got caught and now they're scrambling. Nobody changes a URL by mistake. Constant lies.

Don't stop banging the drum: Anyone who considers it good policy to look at children's genitals before they can play sports is someone who just likes to look at children's genitals, and cannot be trusted in any position of power.

Abortion bans kill women

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st. He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses." They didn't show him a warrant. They didn't give him paperwork. And he's now suing.

If you thought Trump and his sycophants have forgotten about elections, you are wrong. The GOP voter suppression and election subversion war machine is already preparing for the next election.

18 March 1905 | A Pole, Tadeusz Herbst, was born in Kołomyja. A chemical engineer. In #Auschwitz from 5 April 1941. No. 11878 He was shot in the camp on 3 July 1941.

In partnership with @freedom.press, WIRED will make all of its FOIA-based reporting free to access for anyone. Public records should be public, and I hope to see more outlets follow suit: freedom.press/issues/wired...

to me the most disturbing fact about DOGE’s raid on the US Institute of Peace is that the local cops helped them.

101 of these men had no criminal records at all. This is fascism.

Trump wants you to pay more for your pint 🍺🧵
