Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Was it Mr. Lutnick—the Baghdad Bob of trade negotiations for the United States—who said that Canada wasn’t showing that we were grateful? Are you kidding me? You’ve threatened our nation, and now you’re saying we’re not being grateful?

If it's Saturday, there's a #TeslaTakeDown Find a Tesla rally near you with the link included below #DistuptTheCoup

RUN FOR SOMETHING recruits and supports young progressive Democrats. If you apply now, see below post, you can be on the ballot in 2026 for local and state races. We need to make sure no Republican seat goes unchallenged. It’s up to us to take back power #Voices4Victory youtu.be/kUyfx4A32TA

Cancer research has never been a partisan issue. Diabetes research has never been a partisan issue. Offering hope to families struggling with disease has never been a partisan issue. Until now. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

By nature, women are leaders, planners, overseers, jugglers, Velvet Hammers, and diplomats. Women create a world where all are accommodated, content, and safe, at a picnic. Sounds silly? Think of all that goes into planning a picnic. Women can rule the world. #EndTheWarOnWomen #SheShed

Oh really, Chuck? Maybe it’s time my online Peeps made it clear—it’s past time for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. Pass it on. @schumer.senate.gov The Reformers

No sympathy for republican morons. So many of them (including Trump/Vance) choose immigrant spouses but want to outlaw interracial marriages. Hypocrites! www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Canadians really understand the assignment. And their retailers are realizing that it’s not actually that difficult to find other sources for products. Good for them. #ElbowsUp www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6hY...

Jake Tapper: “Do you think Senate Democrats should replace Chuck Schumer?” Jasmine Crocket: “I think Senate Democrats have to sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment.” @schumer.senate.gov , step down as Leader. It’s time!

Fear and panic spread as measles enters the birth center of a Texas hospital. On Wednesday, a woman was admitted to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, where she gave birth in the middle of a deadly, surging measles epidemic. After the baby was born, doctors discovered the young mother was…

Trump thinks he's a king above the law. Last night, a federal judge ordered him to stop deportations under his outrageous use of the Alien Enemies Act—but he did it anyway. Now, Venezuelans are being held in Bukele’s El Salvador mega-prison for at least a year. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

On display at Mar-a-Lago: A golden Mount Rushmore monument with Trump head on it

The issue with people like Schumer and Carville is that they refuse to accept that politics is not the same as it was 20 years ago. They refuse to accept they are the remnants of a system that doesn’t exist anymore.

This.

This is really the divide between old and new generation Democratic electeds: Those who believe the GOP is capable of being good faith partners in governance and those who know they’re full of shit.

🐕 Couldn’t make it up if we tried — the same day Trump celebrates K9 Veterans Day… DOGE cuts hit the TSA and they stop feeding and taking care of their bomb-sniffing dogs 😕

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

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!

I’m sorry to say it, but Schumer has to go.

Everyone who voted for Trump voted for this. They voted for the chaos, the incompetence, the graft, the eviscerating of the federal government, and the empty promises that Trump used to get their confidence. They voted for the pain. It's just that they believed it wouldn't be them feeling it.

Forcible rape crime is so out of control that only 32 out of the world's 33 developed nations have non-rapist national leaders.

House Dems' text chains lighting up with apoplexy. "Complete and utter meltdown," says one member. Members floating marching onto the Senate floor. Others urging primaries not just for Schumer, but any Senate Dem who votes for the GOP bill. @Axios.com www.axios.com/2025/03/14/h...

Gender equality doesn’t just 'happen.' Women’s rights must be fought for and protected. Our responsibility is clear. To lead by example and create a world where opportunities are fair for all. Not just today, but every single day. #InternationalWomensDay

Another coward.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race. I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

AOC on senate Dems caving and backing the CR: “A wide sense of betrayal.”

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.

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.

We strongly oppose the partisan and harmful Republican spending bill.

Congrats Chuck Schumer you have thoroughly misplayed the funding fight. You’ve done everything possible to take ownership of it, despite democrats having no levers in govt. Are ya new?

They’re mocking the Dems now

Trump just stated a moment ago that Canada will be our 51st state. He's stuck on this. Canada....increase the tariffs by 200% and shut off the electricity. It's the only language this incompetent f*ck understands.
