Here’s me and my tiny friend Cleo at @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social today. 🐦‍⬛

This!!

People out there, please repost this. This is the person running for Sheila Jackson Lee's spot in Congress. Want to learn more-- www.isaiahmartin.org

Trust me.

Literally every Black person who comes to DC visits the NMAAHC and it’s a big source of pride among a very broad swathe of people. Censoring the work there won’t be as frictionless as people imagine.

Military mom here: fire every one of the assholes who endangered the lives of American troops with a Signal chat.

RFK Jr. wants to gut the very agencies that protect us from pandemics, approve life-saving drugs, AND help our most vulnerable get healthcare? Y’all… this isn’t reform, it’s reckless. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/27/r...

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg orders a 4pm hearing in the Signalgate lawsuit by American Oversight

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign. He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.

From USC

there is absolutely nothing standing in the way of more moderate democrats being aggressive opponents of the white house and holding public events highlighting their opposition

This speaks volumes: Yale professors, Timothy Snyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of "On Tyranny," and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of "How Fascism Works", move to Canada. leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2025/03... munkschool.utoronto.ca/person/timot...

Just going to repost my essay "Decapitation Strike" from November. We are living through it now. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Nearly 4 million people work in higher education.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief. Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs. What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of UC Berkeley Law says he is trying to get a letter signed by other law school deans to call on law firms not to buckle under threats from the Trump administration. He says it has been very hard to get many to sign. (From a conference at UCLA happening now)

Whoops too bad Elon just fired the scientific arm of the EPA

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data. 11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans. This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

Good to see this pushback!! www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadians—I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

A friend of my compared gutting of federal agencies to a wrecking a car: if you remove 30% of the parts of the car, it does not go 30% slower. It stops working.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down. Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

I had a surprise young constituent in my Dallas office yesterday — precious Ms. Lilli! Special thanks to her amazing family for their advocacy and for reminding us all on why protecting our access to quality education MATTERS!

A Pentagon official not authorized to speak publicly said its review to scrub websites of DEI content was too hasty and used search terms like "gay," which led to the flagging of Enola Gay images.

Well this is terrifying

Porter: I think what we should be asking Elon Musk and pressing him on is: what makes this change efficient? Imagine a clinical trial that is near completion, only to unravel and lose all that progress—just because Elon Musk decides to pull the plug. That’s not efficient. It’s just destructive.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

This whole campaign is disgraceful. This administration which is riddled with actual antisemites is using antisemitism as a stalking horse for its campaign against all universities. A kind of elaborate and hideous gaslighting.
