IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

To quote FDR: "I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made."

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

Agreed!

Sofa king stupid

The night after the US stopped sharing all intelligence with Ukraine, the Russian army attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hometown of Kryvyi Rih with ballistic missiles, killing at least four people and injuring more than 30 others.

I just watched Macron's address to France. It was urgent, impassioned and determined—and established Russia as a clear and present danger to Europe America can no longer be relied upon to help with. Europeans are preparing for a possible imminent darkness. My heart breaks that we aren't with them.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

This - Again and again and again

Marjorie Trailer Greene is concerned with decorum all of a sudden. 🥴

Hi — quick question: How is this legal? www.wired.com/story/people...

US Marshals warned federal judges of unusually high threat levels as Elon Musk and other Trump administration allies ramp up efforts to discredit judges who stand in the way of White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, said several judges with knowledge of the warnings reut.rs/4irF5kW

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Oralè Resisters Al Green Never forget! #AlGreen #SOTU #USDemocracy

Haha, this took work. 44 wheels taken from a Tesla parking lot. www.reddit.com/r/texas/s/hc...

"We have to take care of our law enforcement," says the man who pardoned hundreds of J6 cop-beaters. And two men who are protected by those cops applaud.

BREAKING Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says President Trump may roll back tariffs on Mexico and Canada as soon as tomorrow.

BREAKING: Ontario’s terminating its $100-million deal with Starlink, and US companies will be barred from future contracts. They warned NY, Michigan, and Minnesota if the tariffs persist, Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity and may cut off the supply entirely.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

Trudeau: "What Trump said yesterday that there is nothing Canada or Mexico can do to avoid these tariffs underlines very clearly what I think a lot of us have suspected for a long time: that these tariffs are not specifically about fentanyl even though that's the legal justification he must use"

Hiding from the public sounds like a solid plan moving forward 🙄

In less than 30 minutes, the Dow has already dropped over 600 points. That’s the real State of the Union.

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

If you live in #CA40, call Young Kim’s office and remind her staff of this.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything

JUST IN: US stocks slid Monday as investors braced for President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China to go into effect by the midnight deadline.

RFK Jr’s top spokesman at HHS resigns after just 2 weeks after reporting clashing with him about his response to the measles epidemic in Texas. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

As requested by a third grader in a letter to my office: Happy Third Graders Day, Minnesota!

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.

“European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.’”

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

“Grandma, tell me about 2025.” Well, honey, a lot of people hated others more than they loved themselves and their own families, so they let Nazis take over.

whoa sounds like this timeshare guy should be investigated for possible federal wire fraud by the … {checks notes} … FBI

Groups tied to Elon Musk have already spent more than $4.2 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race—a clear sign that his plans for oligarchy extend well beyond Washington.

Embarrassing, chilling. This exposes the horrific mind set of these individuals.

Leavitt lies repeatedly in this clip, claiming falsely that everyone sent to Guantanamo is a criminal (fully a third had no criminal record at all) and that all of them "invaded" the country (several of those sent to Guantanamo enter the US legally through the CBP One app).

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours. Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.
