Trump and Musk are shredding the Constitution to disrupt the global order, but Federal Dem leadership doesn't even want to disrupt a speech

FACT: “So, you know, this guy, he's gone to the Superbowl, he's gone to the Daytona 500, he's gone to a UFC fight. You should go to the fucking supermarket and look at what people are spending to feed themselves.”

(WSJ) - The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s unless the U.S. rows back on its plans to impose steep tariffs on imports, a senior official at the International Chamber of Commerce warned. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

When they start jailing journalists and lawmakers is when I'll be fleeing. Short of that, I'm fighting. And voting. And volunteering. And campaigning. And donating. And screaming.

Don't let Wisconsin down Vote #Crawford for SCOWIS

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

PAS DE ROIS

Simply put, someone with this kind of track record should be nowhere near #Wisconsin 's highest court: Schimel's Hack Job on the John Doe Leak www.wisdc.org/news/comment... #crawford #crawfordforwi

Seriously: Gerald's Game:Common Side Effects::Midnight Mass:? This team onto something big. @adultswimcentral.com

The Congressional offices seriously think they're ready for all the casework that's coming at them 20m passports per year 6000 IRS agents fired during tax season Billions in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid And these twerp staffers who can barely answer the phone think they're gonna handle it all

I love this for him. More of this between now and the mid-terms!

Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities. Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back. (via @wskg.bsky.social)

What if we all chose a day to start holding our USPS mail deliveries? How long until they have so much volume they can't operate?

Regarding 'Common Side Effects' Did adult swim see production footage of scavengers reign and pull them aside and say "y'all are up to something - have some money"?

Is Kathy Hochul like... Fucking awesome?

Deny the lies Defend your neighbors Depose the tyrant

Why do stores still have like 15 curbside pickup parking spots? As if the parking lots are good land use in the first place, but mannnnn.

There should be lawsuits filed against every Republican member of the House ways and means and House oversight committees. As illegal as it is for Trump to seize appropriations power it's also illegal for the House to give it to him. @maddow.msnbc.com touched on this the other night.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

"the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are."

They're not trying to make the government more efficient. They're trying to break the government so they can enrich themselves. Scott Walker did this in Wisconsin in 2011 with his union-busting "budget repair bill," which had nothing to do with budget repair. Same con every time.

Is there something like the opposite of parental controls on YouTube music? I appreciate being able to filter out explicit songs for those that need it, but I should also be able to check a box that says "do not play censored tracks"

McGovern: He wants to invade Greenland and take over Panama. He wants to annex Canada and now wants to occupy Gaza. We have 42 million people in this country who are hungry. Whatever happened to America first? Whatever happened to lowering prices? Instead we get this.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

Crockett: What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has returned from a trip to El Salvador where he secured an agreement from that country's president to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality — including American citizens — offering to hold them in the country's sprawling maximum-security facility…

Far Worse Than The Saturday Night Massacre.

More of this please @schumer.senate.gov

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

It dawned on this morning that if the coup keeps escalating at the Treasury, there's a very real chance that social security checks don't go out this month. If that happens, we have to mobilize immediately. Immediately. #impeach #imprison #trump #musk #coup

An unofficial, unelected, unaccountable special interest group headed by a foreign national now has unlimited access to your social security number www.reuters.com/world/uk/mus...

And just like that - one packet down for Judge Susan Crawford! #wisdems #scowis
