Booker is doing a talking filibuster.šŸ˜

JUST IN: The DNC and other Democratic Party organizations are suing to block President Trump's executive order purporting to change national election procedures. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My nominee for 2025 Father of the Year:

This guy is running the federal government

Thank you to everyone has reached out to offer kind words of support. I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says or does. Democracy Docket will do the same. It won't back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Clown show.

SEN. BOOKER KICKS OFF LENGTHY FILIBUSTER TO PROTEST TRUMP REGIME ā€œI rise tonight with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically ableā€¦1/

Oh look, another Russian mouthpiece in the White House. Nothing to worry about here, folks.

Auto parts cross the Canada-U.S. border six times on average before final assembly. In a trade crisis, thatā€™s a vulnerability for our workers. Itā€™s time to build up that supply chain right here in Canada.

No lies told here.

We are heartbroken to hear of the tragic loss of three U.S. Soldiers in Lithuania. Our deepest condolences go out to their families, friends, and fellow Servicemembers. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø MORE: apnews.com/article/miss...

šŸ˜•MARYVILLE, TN: ā€œ21 tractor-trailer loads of food coming to East Tennessee were canceled by TRUMPā€™s United States Department of Agricultureā€¦ā€

I would like to know what Tennessee Republicans have to say about Trump stopping this aid to East Tennessee hurricane victims who desperately need it?! @6News @wbir @wvlt @knoxnews.bsky.social www.wate.com/news/local-n...

ā€œBeautiful thing to watch.ā€

Iā€™ve tried not to dwell on the tragic failures that could have saved us from this nightmare. But Merrick Garlandā€™s failure to confront and hold Trump accountable is among the worst.

Good work, SCOTUS conservatives: By enabling Trump's sense of his own impunity, you might have empowered Trump's attack on the judiciary and on yourselves, as @davidrlurie.bsky.social argues:

NEW: President Trump has so far fired 34 political appointees across the government, including 10 that he himself hired. We're tracking Trumpā€™s unprecedentedā€”often illegalā€”firings of political appointees and watchdogs, here: www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Raskin: I call on my colleagues to take down the wanted posters with judgesā€™ faces on them outside of offices in House office buildings

Marine Le Penā€™s first conviction rules out future presidential candidacies. Donald Trumpā€™s various convictions, 881,776 Covid deaths, armed insurrection & theft of classified documents made him president. Thatā€™s why we canā€™t have nice things.

Update from the guy who said he'd bring prices down on day one:

Food prices are up 80% in Hungary under Viktor Orban. Trump is trying to achieve this same "goal" in just a matter of months. Corrupt governments are very expensive places to live.

Dear Republicans, Never shit where you eat Rural swaths of the country that helped power Donald Trump to victory are facing serious economic headwinds inflicted by his administration. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

This seems like a ... messaging opportunity? "That's a Nazi salute." "How dare you?!" Hitler guy salutes the Nazi-mobile.

DONā€™T THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT Because the erosion of democracy happens gradually, the opposition has ample opportunities to fight back. In the United States, opposition groups are not without resources.

Guess who showed up to defend Tesla? The Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, and a guy dressed as Hitler. More on the "Tesla Takedown" protests here:

The winner is chair of Wisconsin College Republicans. Just a coincidence, right?

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from firing dozens of intelligence agency staffers who recently worked on DEI issues. Judge Anthony Trenga, a GWBush appointee, said they're entitled to appeal within their agencies & seek reassignment to other jobs.

Elon Musk's PAC Offers $20 For Voting Location Selfies The initiative sparks legal concerns over election manipulation meidasnews.com/news/elon-mu...

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

šŸšØBREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

The UK and France will send personnel to Ukraine to create a system for integration with the Ukrainian armed forces and prepare for the likely deployment of troops. #standwithukraine

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

Japan and South Korea, two top US allies, are joining forces with China to jointly retaliate against Trumpā€™s tariffs. This is a major international realignment against the United States.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

After Trump betrayed Japan and South Korea with his tariff thuggery, China, Japan, and South Korea have now agreed to jointly respond to any US economic aggression. This is massive.

Tell me you have not taken a single course in American history, or world economic history, without telling me... 1. Fed Gov has had public debt as a tool since Hamilton's days as SecTreas treasurydirect.gov/government/h... 2 Debt up way more under Trump than Biden. www.crfb.org/papers/trump...

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS to detain 400 migrants at Gitmo. That's $100,000 a person just to hold them for a few days ā€” when they could far more easily be held in the United States! Just a couple weeks ago it was reported to have cost $16 million. So the price tag is skyrocketing.

Such a distillation of the con: guess who got Musk's $1 million check yesterday? The head of the Wisconsin College Republicans. meidasnews.com/news/republi...

As usual, Peter Navarro is spewing complete and total bullshit. Seriously, does ANYONE ever believe this guy?

Pop quiz; how much did Donald Trump add to the national debt during his first term? Answer: Over $8 trillion.

Meanwhile, China is in there, helping AND expanding its influence.

The Trump administration should focus on the recommendations from inspectors general and the GAO for addressing improper payments, rather than firing watchdogs. It's time for Congress to oppose these actions that hinder accountability and oversight.

NEW: China, Japan, and South Korea agree to ā€œclosely cooperateā€ in response to U.S. tariffs Anyone with half a brain & a basic understanding of the world could see that Trumpā€™s relentless attacks on our allies will only isolate America & strengthen China

NEW: Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that she is directing DOJ to dismiss its lawsuit against Georgiaā€™s massive voter suppression law, Senate Bill 202. The announcement makes this the fifth Biden-era DOJ pro-voting lawsuit thatā€™s been dropped under President Donald Trump.

šŸ‘€ This is the contempt hearing in the Alien Enemies Act case.

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.
