THIS PART

FIRED FEDERAL WORKER TO NBC: “I was a Trump supporter. He’s coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no apparent reason.”

🔥WATCH: 🇬🇧’s Julia Hartley-Brewer showing everyone how it’s done. Master class. Why can’t 🇺🇸 media do this to Trump, Musk, and everyone else enabling this? Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGYb7Ox...

JEFFRIES: “we have no leverage” SCHUMER: *pulls out a lime and limply waves it around* BERNIE:

He wants Elon to hurt more people, even as his poll numbers are down not up: www.instagram.com/reel/DGTS6V4... There’s a book about leaders counting on the truth not reaching their supporters. It’s called ‘1984’ — forget “Truth Social”, it’s “Ministry of Truth Social”

From @stephaniekelton.bsky.social : “PARTISAN DISHONESTY” of Trump & Musk’s “Doge Dividend Checks” plan stephaniekelton.substack.com/p/stimulus-c... sending people checks is only inflationary when Dems do it?🤷🏻👇🏽 — They pretend to care about the debt, a political game to set up tax cuts for the rich

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I love watching this . . Over and over . .

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

AOC: “Elon Musk is not going after efficiency — he is trying to gut everything good in 🇺🇸 for his own private profit… America is not for sale.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGXObpu...

📚 WATCH: “I can’t do much, but I can do this.” As Rutherford County and other districts ban hundreds of books, a SMYRNA book store owner is offering banned books for free. #BannedBooksBrigade Full: www.newschannel5.com/news/how-one...

“It’s getting a little uncomfortable even for me.”— Fuentes reacts to Bannon’s CPAC salute

WATCH: “You just said something that’s not true — that tens of millions of dead people are on that list… but the same report you cited said almost none of them have received Social security.” Trump’s Press Sec hides behind saying they “suspect” it, then runs away 🤔

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

👇🏽

As Musk villainously dances around with chainsaws, these are the real people getting hurt. (From CBS)

Maine’s Gov. Mills: “See you in court.” Trump called her out over the trans athletes ban and threatened to withhold funding, she said she will follow the law. More: thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Damn- with all the justified outrage about Trump banning the AP, Steve Knapp writes in the TN Conservative News about how the Capitol Hill press corps unanimously votes against us and helps Sexton keep us out here in Tennessee. (chaired by the AP itself) tennesseeconservativenews.com/with-journal...

CHALKBEAT: “Republican leader Senator Bo Watson introduced a resolution encouraging Tennessee teachers to use the names Gulf of America and Mount McKinley… the measure would not place any mandates or requirements on teachers if it’s approved…” www.chalkbeat.org/tennessee/20...

“Fraudsters complain the loudest”, says Elon

AXIOS: “Tennessee stands to get clobbered by the Trump administration's proposed federal research cuts, which would hit Vanderbilt especially hard.” www.axios.com/local/nashvi...

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

He will not criticize Putin.

MISSISSIPPI’s legislature being declared “not a public body” reminds us of how the Tennessee leg won’t tell us how much taxpayer money Speaker Sexton is blowing on troopers despite our FOIA request: “Not a governmental agency for the purposes of the public records act” 🤔

Believe them. (What’s “the job”? Ending our democracy, and 🇺🇸 as we know it?)

🤥 FACT-CHECK: “The United States does not allow noncitizens to vote. It rarely ever happens. A lie and a lie.” @arimelber takes apart one of Elon’s many lies at his unhinged CPAC debacle Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGVxCbQ...

More performative grandstanding from Senator Bo Watson (whose wife is a lobbyist 🤔 and who is trying to keep undocumented kids out of school)

🔥 NEW YORK: “The red line has been crossed. They’re not playing by the rules. We have to the gloves off.” Big ovation at an @RepPaulTonko town hall as a teacher encourages him to push back even harder, even get arrested to stop the Trump/Musk rampage. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGVuDVe...

Feels like a good time to revisit this old gem

The Tennessean on the new “Tennessee-Israel Caucus” formed by Scott Cepicky (R) & Torrey Harris (D) after their trip to Israel funded by Israel As we mentioned, an Israel official will select the co-chairs of the caucus - which they call “unprecedented”: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

I cannot describe how strange Elon Musk’s CPAC appearance was

MARYLAND: “The Maryland National Guard will not participate in the parade honoring abolitionist Frederick Douglass due to guidance set by (Trump’s) Department of Defense.” www.wmar2news.com/local/maryla...

WSJ: “Trump has taken the highly unusual step of revoking an extension of temporary protected status from roughly 520,000 Haitians — will effectively flip more than half a million immigrants from legal to illegal in August.” www.rawstory.com/haitian-tps/

CARTOON OF THE DAY

WATCH: “What are you going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House?” An @reprichmccormick town hall in a red GEORGIA district erupts in cheers - then boos loudly as he tries to invoke Biden and both-sides Trump’s actions. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUf45s...

ICYMI — Not an SNL cold open or AI. This pure uncut cringe is a real thing that happened.

Oh. www.ft.com/content/cb1c...

CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating lowest at this point in his presidency ever… GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…” James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts 👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUcU1c...

Elon’s lie about the astronauts being stranded in space for political reasons exposed, leading Elon to get community noted on his own website

When they privatize everything, it isn’t regular people who win. It’s their friends and whoever does what they want. 🇺🇸 is not a business. The more we run it like one, the more we leave those with the least behind. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Everything is a lie

So much family values
