Maybe we can find the guy who was paid to take Trump’s SATs for him and make him president. Couldn’t get much worse.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.

Strange, isn’t it? Are people starting to realize that corporate greed is real? That the billionaires are never satisfied & want more no matter the cost to our country? Are people starting to wake up? I truly hope they do & start pushing back-hard! #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Facts

Republicans are working hard to pretend Trump inherited a bad economy. He was handed an economy that analysts thought had no chance of recession and was expected to grow by 2.5% We will need lots of visuals like this. They are destroying a good economy

That is exactly true.

Took the opener in convincing fashion! #GoBeavs

Disgusting

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Holy shit!! Trump just slipped on live TV that he lost the 2020 presidential election. Trump would HATE it if this goes viral:

“Clearcutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites.” Trump’s timber order is based on nothing but lies, greed, hatred, and monumental ignorance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

Hope to see you there

So Musk’s people, who misread $8 million as $8 billion, who counted the same contracts multiple times and counted as savings programs that ended last year, claim that their AI is finding lots of Social Security fraud. Why should anyone worry?

🤔

Trump is NOT leading. He's hurting Americans out of pure spite. That's not being a president; it's being a thug, and it's abuse of power. The 25th Amendment covers this: "The president must be removed from office if they are unable to carry out their constitutional duties due to poor judgment."

Democrats should NOT negotiate with Trump and his sycophants in Congress. If the Republican majority can’t get their act together to prevent a government shutdown, that’s on them. Democrats need to grow some balls and stand up to Trump’s authoritarianism. Angry posts on social media won’t cut it.

This is important. It's called a learning moment for a member of congress. We need many more. And we will have them.

This is the teepee in our city here in Alberta Canada Lit up showing support for #Ukraine Its the tallest teepee in the world #Ukraine #CanadastandswithUkraine #CharacterMatters #Kindmatters 🇺🇦💙🇺🇦💙🇨🇦🤗 ##IstandwithUkraine

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

. @dougjones.bsky.social weighs in on the Oval Office ambush 🔥 “The President has made the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet….look weak…run by a couple of junior high school kids who would rather argue in a locker room than discuss…peace & security.”

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

“Zelenskyy found himself ambushed by Trump and his serpentine vice-president, JD Vance. He was expected to sit back and take a beating from Nurse Ratched and Miss Trunchbull. He refused.” 2/28/25 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Yup.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Republicans vote to cut $2 trillion of services from the budget, including from Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP. Then they prayed. 😡

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Cutting $4.5T in taxes for 800 billionaires but not $1.7T in exploitative student debt for 45M Americans is the modern version of let them eat cake.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

A federal judge in Washington said that the way the Trump administration set up and has been running Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency could violate the Constitution.

A federal judge issued an order Monday preventing the Trump admin from carrying out immigration raids at places of worship. Judge Theodore Chang agreed with a coalition of Sikhs, Quakers, and Baptists that immigration enforcement at houses of worship would violate their religious liberties.

1/ 6 We have 2 Special elections coming up on April 1st & 1 in Nov that could flip the House. This will be my 1st thread for you to get to know these Democratic candidates, 2 from Florida, & one from NY. 1st up Gay Valimont of Florida. #BetterKnowaCandidate #ProudBlue #Fl01 #TeamValimont

Spotted in Paris, France today, in honour of the 3rd anniversary of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion. #StandWithUkraine

Any white msnbc hosts /on air talent gonna walk out in solidarity with their Black, Latino, and Asian peers being fired? Just wondering…

"No shells? We’ll take up rifles. No rifles? We’ll grab shovels.” apnews.com/article/ukra...

Not only did French President Emmanuel Macron laugh in Donald Trump’s face and fact checked him on camera in the Oval Office… France also voted against the draft resolution on the war in Ukraine presented by the United States at the UN Security Council not long afterward. Thank you, France 🇫🇷 !

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Oh you don't have a completed financial conflict of interest form (OGE Form 450 or 278), that has been adjudicated and signed by an attorney in your agency's Office of General Counsel? Well then, you're not permitted to work as a Special Government Employee, and also you're breaking the law.

Please share this fact sheet about Ukraine with anyone who needs it.
