Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Trump is taking the economy down, and his poll numbers are going down with him. Americans just aren't buying MAGA. Let's keep standing up for our values and making our voices heard!

I call bullshit on this from Boeing as China says, "return to sender." "Customers are calling, asking for additional airplanes." Yeah, no. At least not on a 1:1 basis. Maybe in the short term. But this is a hit to Boeing thanks to the Republican administration self-inflicted financial disaster.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This person is part of our future. Get to know Lauren Underwood.

"organizers say" ok. So I was there. There were well over 2000 people. (I'm used to counting migrating bird flocks.,) But WTF.

Busy here in Lake County, IL. Angry, motivated people who vote. @lakedems.bsky.social

47 denies his involvement in the most compelling human rights story in the country, demonstrating how weak he is. He leads nothing. Loser. With our voices, we will free Kilmar and others denied due process.

Devour their weakness.

Ok, let's be clear, the GOP regime is lost in the wilderness. They've lost public support from their alleged base. Their escalation of patently absurd and unsupportable lies reflects their weakness. Step it up.

Deport Karoline Leavitt.

We are seeing, in real time, how weak 47 is.

Make a call. Now.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Trying to think of another crisis of capitalism that has been engineered so visibly, legibly, with this kind of branding and ownership.

This is a tragedy. It is also the new reality. The U. S. is the loser and no one on either side, or no side, can take pleasure in this loss. USA Brexit.

Pro tip. Take it from a billionaire

Liberation Day? Today we begin our liberation from the MAGA cult. The party is Saturday 4/5. Join your community to say Hands Off.

Yay!

Schimel has to know that Musk making this election about himself hurts Schimel. But clearly Schimel also knows he can't say "no" to Musk. Which is another reason it's so critical that Schimel lose to Crawford. We can't have Justices who can't say no to Musk.

Make like the South Koreans. And the Israelis. Show the world that we can stand up for ourselves. April 5, everywhere: handsoff2025.com

Standing up to bullies

Lesson on how and when to bring the fire. Powerful, penetrating, provocative WORDS.

I’ve never seen Pete this angry and rightfully so. Trump and his administration are incompetent and they are putting this country in danger. Unbelievable fuckup.!

Now taking applications for the Houthi PC Small Group. No qualifications required. In fact, no qualifications preferred.

Rep. Jason Crow gets it: Democrats need to reach the people who take showers after work—working folks who’ve been talked at, not listened to. It’s not about the stock market. It’s about real life: housing, retirement, dignity. Show up. Listen. Deliver.

Vote for Susan Crawford

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

A moment of levity in dire times. But an earnest question. Do you eat your PB&J sandwich jelly side down (closer to your tongue) or peanut butter side down? Agnostics and allergics need not respond.

Roberts awakes from slumber. But only momentarily. And only because his decreasingly powerful domain was poked. Meanwhile our shtetels burn.

More of this

Where are the Ukraine kids, Marco?

By executive order, heretofore to be known as America Goose (not American Goose). But only the ones that hang around the golf course all winter. Not the ones that commute.

If we are to prevail we've got to get off the divisive and grudge-filled narrative and embrace a more broadly inclusive platform of core human values.

Truth

Congrats, they heard you! The Social Security Administration has decided tonight to abandon its plans to end phone service for millions of Americans filing retirement and disability claims. Thank you to all who shared our post and made calls today—you did it!

Out of all the depressing things going on, this one has depressed me the most.

CNN poll: 56% of adults disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. That number is higher than at any point during his first term per CNN polling.   61% disapprove of Trump's handling of tariffs.   57% say Trump has not paid enough attention to the country's most important problems.

Watched the WI Supreme Court Debate. Democrat Susan Crawford demonstrated superior understanding of the law and cases. Republican Schimel loves an 1859 anti-abortion law, God 🙄and couldn’t remember facts of important WI cases. Vote for Crawford April 1 #Voices4Victory www.crawfordforwi.com
