"Investments"

This administration is basically doing Hunter Biden corruption at an industrial scale. And whereas there was no evidence Joe Biden in any way benefitted from Hunter's shenanigans, the current President's family business is raking in the payoffs. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“My Republican friends” Jesus Christ, get bent

So tacky. Looks like a teenager moved into the White House

The spread of measles in the Southwest now constitutes the largest single outbreak since the U.S. declared the disease eliminated in 2000, federal scientists told state officials in a meeting on Monday.

Government exists to serve us: build infrastructure, protect rights, & ensure opportunity. Instead, Trump’s turned it into a wrecking ball aimed straight at us. Housing? Unaffordable. Healthcare? A luxury. Rights? Optional. They’ve hijacked the system, wrapped it in a flag, & called it freedom.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

LMFAOOOOOOOO

Goldberg on Waltz: "This isn't The Matrix. Phone numbers don't just get sucked into other phones. I don't know what he's talking about ... my phone number was in his phone because my phone number was in his phone. He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Peter Navarro goes full Orwell on Fox News Sunday: "The message is that tariffs are tax cuts."

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

If we can't illegally share Social Security information with the world's richest man, I guess we would have to drive millions of seniors into poverty

Crush this. Make it viral. New show with me & Amy McGrath. Make it viral on TikTok. YouTube: youtu.be/BZ0Uo0hlY-w Facebook: www.facebook.com/share/v/1DFy... TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP829NWBg/ X: x.com/TIB_Pod/stat... BlueSky: bsky.app/profile/trut... Instagram: www.instagram.com/reel/DHZGqHl...

The US military just purged their website of mentions of the Holocaust, 9/11 remembrance, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention to align with their new “anti-DEI” policies.

The President has ignored Congressional appropriations, closed Congressionally-created agencies, and is grabbing people off the street without any judicial process and sending them to a foreign labor camp while boasting that he won't follow a court order telling him to stop. I think we're there.

Again, you'll be glad to know that Dinesh D'Souza's son-in-law is exactly as dumb as you'd expect him to be. "Demeaning the impartiality of the court by making a politicized ruling"

I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

At some point we are going to go from courts declaring acts by the Trump Admin to be illegal/unconstitutional to a recognition that Musk and his posse have broken dozens/hundreds of laws and are criminals. It needs to be understood that Elon Musk has been on a crime spree not an efficiency drive.

Schumer is hoping that enough time will pass and people will forget about this, but we’re not playing that game anymore. We refuse to be treated like fools while Democratic leadership sells us out and expects the outrage to fade. Sign & share if you agree: Schumer must step down as Democratic Leader

Reup: I've been trying to track the things Trump has taken away. This is VERY much a work in progress, imperfectly presented. But please let me know what is missing (or better yet, steal my work)! www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/18/w...

Worth noting that it was Chief Justice Roberts who named Judge Boasberg to head of the FISA Court. It remains an open question whether the Trump administration cares about pissing off the Chief Justice, but if they do, this won’t help.

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. 👉

Something to bookmark: Potash is essential for modern agriculture. **Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*. {gift link}

No words.

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

If DOGE sends $5,000 checks, accept the check. Then (if you have the means) donate it to a candidate in your district running against a Trump sycophant. Donate to charities for workers. Imagine if millions of folks donated all or a portion of DOGE monies for the next election cycle or charities.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

So if Musk doesn’t run DOGE, and DOGE isn’t a real government agency, then no one has to listen to Musk or do what the DOGE bros tell them to do, right?

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children. Truly a triumph of time management.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

Trump selling off more of our US oil infrastructure to the Saudis is what you voted for, right MAGA?! Oh wait you voted for your bigotry. Well bigotry isn't free. Seems like we tried to teach you that but you are too dumb to get it. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?
