Not surprised with the casual sexism here.

“sell your product at a loss, or else” was probably not what the business people were expecting from President Business

What's amazing and horrifying about what the law firms are doing is there's not any possible rhetorical cover for them—Trump's explicit position is "I will break law firms that advocate the opposite side from me on anything" and they're lining up to accept those terms www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/b...

In Trump's first term, media orgs would credulously repeat Trump's claims to have saved jobs. Now they are credulously amplifying executive orders based on misleading premises that claim powers that Trump does not hold. Stop amplifying misinformation and aiding his attack on democracy!

He then proceeded to throw Marco Rubio under the bus. And this is how we know that he definitely, intentionally, ignored a court order from a federal judge. www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/p...

@schumer.senate.gov here’s what they are doing after you laid down, destroyed any trust your colleagues in the House (and as a NYer, I’m sure your constituents as well) had in you and allowed that horrible CR to pass. Tell us again how a govt shutdown would have been even worse?

@durbin.senate.gov Hey Dick, here’s what they are doing after you laid down, destroyed any trust your constituents and your colleagues in the House had in you and allowed that horrible CR to pass. Tell us again how a govt shutdown would have been even worse?

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.

This is an extraordinary piece of data journalism.

NEW: I heard from a *bunch* of federal employees tonight with more backbone that Chuck Schumer. Spread the word! "Shutdowns suck, but what we’re experiencing is something much much worse and now is the moment to stand against it or you’re abdicating your duty as an elected official.”

WTF, Chuck?!

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

@schumer.senate.gov SHUT IT DOWN! VOTE NO! There’s nothing that a government shutdown would bring that wouldn’t also be brought about by allowing this harmful budget to pass.If it passes, it’ll be clear that you will not stop the destruction of democracy & give this admin more power to harm us.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - You need to stop playing like this is ordinary political games. You should be doing more and applauding those who had the balls to protest rather than quietly sitting as he destroys democracy. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/t...

@algreen.house.gov Thank you for standing up for us, our rights and our country.

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Joint Statement from the Tri-Caucus Chairs on President Trump’s Executive Order Declaring English as the Official Language of the United States:

Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

Soooooooo many free email clients!

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

From Forest Service… Some employees terminated last week, who have cried, terminated leases, found new jobs, and moved…Are getting called back to work. Rumor is 300 people. “It was a mistake.” Seems like these employees work in forest management (timber). Screenshot from an unknown acct.

This is good simple messaging.

If you are an agency employee asked to take a polygraph contact a lawyer *immediately*. I am more than willing to immediately respond to anyone being pushed into this. My email is in my bio and my signal is NationalSecurityCounselors.16

Six New York prison workers indicted for murder in beating death of inmate

"Do not obey in advance" was the slogan going into the first Trump administration. Some universities and hospitals seem to be struggling with that advice. From @melissagiragrant.com:

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

Hey @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social on my break, I just read a News Nation 🤢🤮 article on how red states are putting up bills to block mRNA vaccines from being used there. Pfizer must be proud you’re on their board right now. That new facility you just built in Portage Mi. is going to go unused.

#LivingColour Pride #BlackHistoryMonth History's a lie that they teach you in school A fraudulent view called the golden rule A peaceful land that was born civilized Was robbed of its riches, its freedom, its PRIDE
