“Impending tariffs on Canada and Mexico risk driving up US car prices by as much as $12,000, further squeezing consumers and wreaking havoc across the intricate web of automotive supply lines spanning the continent,” @bloomberg.com reports.

Senator Angus King: "The first message it sent to me was shame...I cannot think of a rational argument for pulling our support from Ukraine...If we persist in walking away from Ukraine, it will be the greatest geopolitical mistake that this country has made since World War II." Spot on.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This is a deep red district

Chris Murphy: "It is absolutely shameful what's happening right now. The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin."

Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to STOP offensive cyber operations against Russia. This is insane. Russia is actively targeting the U.S., and the ability to conduct offensive operations (which was authorized by Trump in 2018!*) was at least one deterrent. Not anymore www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/u...

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Seems not ideal 🤷🏻‍♀️

18F, a team in the General Services Administration, was tailor-made for government efficiency and technology, writes @matteowong.bsky.social. Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency wiped it out.

We will always defend Americans’ right to free and fair elections.

For the love of everything good.... -COVER THESE EVENTS mainstream media--! Town halls, massive protests, phone calls to congress, rallies, bluesky engagement, boycotts, etc. @cnn.com @abc7.bsky.social @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @abcnetwork.bsky.social @msnbc.com

I'm sure they're all very proud of #krasnov www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Macron: “But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”

"Warms to Putin." No, #BrokenPost, he has surrendered to Putin. Wake the fuck up. This isn't a romcom. It is a fascist takeover, #DeadPost. As Trump warms to Putin, U.S. halts offensive cyber operations against Moscow www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

My new article on Trump's treasonous meeting with Zelensky: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

President Donald Trump’s trade wars threaten to claim a casualty on the home front: the American auto industry.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

How can people consider Musk some kind of tech genius and efficiency expert. The emperor has no clothes. And we and future generations will all pay the price.

🚨Rep. Seth Moulton, a Marine Corps Veteran, is sounding the alarm: firing top military leaders, purging dissent, and demanding loyalty oaths aren’t the actions of a president—they’re the moves of a dictator-in-waiting. READ MORE: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/27/o...

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year. “'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'" Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

We are here This ain’t the f-ing movies Bad guys can win.

Indiana Republicans say their plan to ban student IDs at the polls is about election integrity. Student organizer Daniel Jenkins sees it differently, warning of a “targeted form of voter suppression to try to make it harder for students to vote." boltsmag.org/indiana...

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

AMANPOUR (with face in hands): “Never have I ever ever ever seen anything like it… the president and VP were taking all the Putin talking points.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGolFp-...

“This abrupt departure from the statutory scheme threatens significant harm to the Democratic Party’s three national political committees,” wrote Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Just a few weeks ago Ross Douthat interviewed Marc Andreesen, who said the public would turn on Social Security once it was “aired in public.” Turns out the actual bet was the public will turn on it after an intense, Elon-led campaign of lying about the program and sabotaging the service.

NEW: The first front pages of Saturday’s newspapers in the UK. “Ukraine Hero Ambushed” “Trump stuns world with vile rant at Zelensky” “A spectacle to horrify the world” Trump is obliterating the global reputation of the US.

Thank you, Meri! Calls to G.O.P. reps are crucial. They’ll try to hide in the MAGA bubble, but they need to know what’s really happening.

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." – Hosea 8:7 Trump, Musk, and the entire GOP keep sowing the wind. The whirlwind is here. 🧵

I've been in Washington for 32 years. I have often disagreed with U.S. administrations. But this is the first time in all that time that I believe the U.S. government is an enemy of the people of the United States and our allies.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Grateful for leaders who speak out against our tyrant-in-training and the despots who America used to abhor, not embrace.

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Trump and Vance are assholes, I am embarrassed for America!
