Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ? Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

So wait...democrats can hold hearings without republicans? Why aren't we holding Signalgate hearings? Or DOGE hearings? I realize we can't compel Trump allies to testify, but certainly we can get experts?

Even Elon Musk's AI Grok says Trump's tariffs will be definitively bad for the U.S. economy.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses. It's the third highest monthly total on record.

Now that Wall Street correctly believes, in light of his tariffs, that Trump is insane, is it really going to look with favor upon the law firms that shamelessly caved to him? Asking for a profession.

Can’t help but feel that if President Bernie Sanders pulled this move the entirety of American business would try to get him pushed out of office immediately.

The Pentagon published the warning about using Signal due to compromised security Despite this the Cabinet members use it. They lied about it. This strike was approved by Stephen Miller who said he believed the President approved. The President claimed no knowledge. Impeach him now. He is a danger

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Trump is 0-3 in cases brought by law firms he has targeted with illegal executive orders. Yet the cowards at two other law firms -- Paul Weiss and Skadden -- shamefully capitulated without putting up a fight.

Donald Trump's executive order would make it harder for millions to register to vote, would disenfranchise voters Trump doesn't like, and give power to election deniers to overturn elections they don't win. This is the greatest threat to democracy right now and it must be stopped.

President Donald Trump’s executive order on voting, issued Tuesday, has caused alarm among voting rights advocates, who fear that the measure’s restrictions on mail voting and its attempt to impose proof of citizenship requirements could disenfranchise millions.

A January 6 insurrectionist pardoned by Trump is now wanted for child sex solicitation. Andrew Taake, who pleaded guilty to attacking officers on J6, was already facing charges for soliciting sex from an undercover cop posing as a 15-year-old. Texas prosecutors are now seeking his arrest.

Any company that rolls back its DEI initiatives will likely be the first to flood its advertisements throughout Black History Month with marketing campaigns featuring Black actors to appeal to Black consumers — you're not fooling anyone. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The desperation of Donald Trump to fulfill his silly mass deportation agenda is laughable; imagine spending up to $852,000 for roughly 80 people to fly them back to their country — this only makes business sense to bigotry.

Thanks to @jilldlawrence.bsky.social for the kind words and nice shoutout! "Marc Elias, the Democracy Docket lawyer who fights for voting rights, created a list of '10 things we can all do to protect democracy.' [] He won’t stand for cynicism, and any cheer he offers is well grounded."
