This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Yep

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

In case you want to know the terms of Skadden's disgraceful capitulation, here they are.

Closing your wallet is the strongest form of protest. The more people that do it the more people learn how easy and powerful it is. Again, one day, close your wallet. March 31st, one week from today.

As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.

This is insane.

Don’t drink and text.

“By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration’s executive order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer...” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/a...

WOW Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com just called out her bosses and said what NEEDED to be said These are dangerous times and we rely on the powers at be to protect and support important voices on MSM Losing @joyannreid.bsky.social was a big mistake IMO …..HUGE mistake

The New York Times has picked up my story about Matt Schlapp allegedly sexually assaulting a man in a Virginia bar two weeks ago. NYT Story: https://bit.ly/4igMtjh My Story: https://bit.ly/4b1XMJO

"He's been absent. I haven't seen him," said Snyder, an Army veteran. "He hasn't had a town hall. It's been a decade." Snyder said the last town hall Rep. Austin Scott held in 2015 was restricted to veterans only, and she wasn't invited despite her military service." www.13wmaz.com/article/news...

Honored to have these amazing guests today on the @katiephangshow.bsky.social See you at 12 pm ET!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge GRANTS Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger's lawsuit to block his firing. This sets up a potential landmark case involving presidential power for the DC Circuit and Supreme Court. Visit Democracy Docket to stay informed on this and all the key cases. www.democracydocket.com

To every woman who feels overlooked or unheard—Women’s History Month is a reminder of your strength and worth. Together, we move forward in solidarity.

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Fiorentini: He’s also still wearing the same shirt that says tech support. Now, look, we can ask the audience, do you think he's got multiple shirts that are tech support shirts or is this the same..

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.

Describe the odor of this sweaty picture

🇬🇧🇺🇦 "Did you hear people cheering you on the street? You can see the support. And we will support as long as it takes. We want long-term peace," — Starmer to Zelensky

So, actually, it always was Russia.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

what do you think would happen if someone elected to political office turned out to be an idiot

(Notes sudden increase in bot activity in my comments) (Checks the time) Yup, 9am in Moscow, the day shift has clocked in

Yes

Tesla dealership in Rocklin, CA. A red district. It’s happening, folks. ✌️💙

I’ve been suggesting on TV and podcasts—without actual evidence(!)—that it may turn out that DOJ will wind up not having enough lawyers to defend all the lawsuits challenging this administration’s illegal conduct. Turns out it seems already to be true. 👉

What happened to Little Marco?

NEW: The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts without the careful review it described in court. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social

Vance is already taking a vacation?

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger, the head of a key federal whistleblower agency, was illegal. The judge has ordered the Trump administration to recognize Dellinger as the head of the Office of Special Counsel.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Wow…

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

Me: "Do you worry about civil war?" Former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh: "The MAGA base, they're welcoming violence... Trump wants violence, MAGA wants violence. I just don't think the American people fully understand..." Watch Part 1 of my interview with Walsh, on fascism: zeteo.com/p/trump-maga...
