There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Facebook started taking down posts of historian Heather Cox Richardson, a national voice. This is outrageous! You can follow her here on Bluesky. But, to see her wonderful posts at Letters From an American, you can subscribe at this link. There is no paywall. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Jesus Christ, Alabama, have some goddamn self-respect.

Cory Booker will break the record for longest Senate floor speech at 7:19 PM EDT. Fewer than 2 hours from now. The record is held by Strom Thurmond, who was arguing for segregation. GO CORY, GO!

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday. The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November). Keep the pressure on.

A timely reminder. Thanks, Dave.

DOGE is crippling the Social Security Administration. SSA’s website crashed four times in 10 days and Americans who depend on Social Security have flooded congressional offices with angry phone calls. The AARP says it has been getting 2,000 calls a week.

Showed up early to do some reporting in Glens Falls, NY—an Adirondack town in Trump territory—at en “empty chair” town hall for their GOP Rep Elise Stefanik, and it’s already standing room only with more people on the street.

Big turnout for other "empty chair" town hall, this time for the two AWOL Ohio senators in Columbus www.facebook.com/christinapao...

WSJ: Investors Who Were All In on U.S. Stocks Are Starting to Look Elsewhere Look what Trump did to Biden’s winning economy that was the envy of the world.

Millions cancelling their trips and businesses in the United States due to Trump’s illegal ICE ethnic cleansing operations. The damages created by Trump will exceed in the trillions of dollars. #3E #EndImpunity

Meet the Conservatives Standing Up to Trump “I don’t want to be alarmist, but the situation is quite alarming," says a former Rubio adviser who is helping lead the small, but vocal conservative legal resistance. zeteo.com/p/conservati...

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

Tim Walz & Bernie Sanders are going out and getting after it, they’ve got the right idea!

Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid" Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"

The American Bar Association is rejecting attacks on the court system — after Elon Musk called for the impeachment of judges who rule against Trump: "We cannot have a judicial system where the government seeks to remove judges simply because they do not rule as the government desires."

Look at this leader. Lift her up.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

They could stream on YouTube every evening at the same time. People would know that there was a daily recap and tune in when they could.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

This energy. 👇🏻

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

Dear members of the press, Can one of you, PLEASE just ONE: When Trump says we deleted all the evidence, please for the love of God, push back. The evidence is all here: www.govinfo.gov/collection/j...

THIS!

Hope Delaware realizes how lucky they are to have a Sarah McBride who actually cares about them and their problems as opposed to a Nancy Mace who is a villain out of a Disney cartoon.
