Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

It's a good time to consider how dangerous and long-lasting the health consequences of #measles can be. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

“What has happened here is an illegal takeover of a private nonprofit:" DOGE used police and private security to forcefully take over the U.S. Institute of Peace–an independent nonprofit founded by Congress–after firing its president and board last week.

I signed onto a letter with 81 of my Democratic collogues condemning Secretary Brooke Rollins and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to terminate Local Food Purchase Assistance funds.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

No fraud

Absolutely brilliant video from @jonathanjarry.bsky.social about where well-known antivaxxer and all-round quack, Joe Mercola, gets his information . I am still slightly in shock. It's just wild. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRps...

Arizona, we hear you. Thank you for joining us in Phoenix for our first Save Medicaid Town Hall—Senator Kelly and I aren’t backing down

“I think that’s what happened the other day.”

We just had one of the most eye-opening conversations with none other than Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Every single one of you should hear this because what we talked about goes far beyond Kentucky. It’s about what’s at stake for every working family in this country.

So now that a judge is under attack, Chief Justice John Roberts wakes up to push back. Wasn’t he the guy who wrote immunity was needed so the President wouldn’t be deterred “from taking the bold and unhesitating action required of an independent Executive”? Like what you did now, Justice Roberts?

You elected a felon.

There are smart young senators and it’s their time. Schumer needs to showcase them: Senator A has a weekly press conference on VA cuts, Senator B leads one on Medicaid cuts, Senator C on all the legal cases, and so on. Just keep punching, week after week after week.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

What are we doing ????????????????????????

Credit is the invisible aperture to a better life in America. Yet the entire credit system has been flawed since its conception, inadvertently favoring those with assets and generational wealth.

There is no substantive difference between a government shutdown and what Republicans are already doing and intend to do in the future. The only thing that’s changed is that the GOP can now claim to have bipartisan assent for their wave of mutilation.

Just another reminder that the Attorney General doesn’t work for the American people. She works for big corporations.

"You can't just use guns to force your way in, in the meantime, as a means of settling that dispute."

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇 Well, are you?! Better start. ✨

When the shit hits the fan—and it *will*—you’ll be just as screwed as us “Libs” you apparently think you’re better than. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Fascinating discussion with Liz Oyer, former DOJ pardon attorney who was fired by the Trump team. Plus Michael Cohen weighs in on Chuck Schumer. Here’s the link to Monday’s show: youtu.be/k8fGrU0eX5o?...

I love #econsky. They bring facts that tell us what we should be paying attention to Going to be some upset companies it it continues

Reminder dismantling the federal government is NOT popular www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/u...

The thousands of victims of Trumpism are out there. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion.

The DOJ has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in an unusual way: end the practice of so-called “universal injunctions” against the federal government and rule that they have no effect.

"We risk losing more than income."

Social Security may soon see “service disruption,” “operational strain,” and “budget shortfalls.” After an outcry over ending the phone service, the SSA denied that it was being eliminated, with this memo appearing to be a workaround.

"He is a moron, and he is a fool, and he's a degenerate."

This entire story is made up. It's straight Russian propaganda with zero basis in reality.

"The song is about joy and possibilities and hope, and they have missed the point entirely."
