Shot. Chaser.

Wrong yet again, Marge.

Donald Trump runs the economy like someone who has never in his life had to worry about how to afford groceries.

“I did not put my life on the line for some tech bro billionaire from South Africa to come in here and try to destroy our country...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Musk just got Grokked.

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable. Then: - Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary - Meta gave Trump $25M - Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners. Corruption.

Well articulated, @drjljohnson.bsky.social - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj7o...

Just six years ago, Gabbard was slamming Donald Trump for helping the Saudis to bomb Yemen in what she called a "genocide" and said we "need a new president." Today, she works *for* Donald Trump and is defending Trump's direct attacks on Yemen and his killing of innocent people.

Elon uses your tax dollars to build rockets that blow up like fireworks before they even reach orbit. Everything he touches turns to shit, and now he’s got his hands on the federal government.

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.” 🔗: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What an incredibly detailed and apt description of the buffoon that is Donald J Trump - thehobbledehoy.com/2019/03/08/b...

GOP lawmaker Justin Eichorn (R-MN) has been arrested on felony charges for soliciting sex from a teenage girl. He had previously spread claims that Democrats and LGBTQ people were trying to groom children.

Donald Trump just illegally fired two independent commissioners at the FTC who fight big corporations that abuse consumers and workers. Why? Trump's billionaire donors expect a return on their investment. He works for them, not you. The courts must reinstate the commissioners.

When will the media start focusing on the protests against the Trump regime in the US? They need to do it now—before it’s too late and there is no media.

Trump is illegally firing the few people who are truly holding Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos accountable. The billionaires give Trump tons of cash. Then Trump breaks the law for them so that they can screw over workers, small businesses, and consumers.

Virginians deserve leaders who create — not attack — jobs in the Commonwealth. And they deserve a Governor who's willing to stand up to the President to protect Virginia's economy and the families that rely on these jobs. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

Grocery prices are still too high, and Minnesota farmers are struggling as the bird flu devastates their flocks.   The Trump administration’s response has left too many questions unanswered. Farmers need help now and working families need to see prices come down.

Breaking: A federal judge just blocked Trump’s order banning transgender Americans from serving in the military.

I mean.

"What Ceasefire? Trump Helps Netanyahu Kill Over 400 Palestinians in Gaza" For Zeteo, @attackerman.bsky.social lays out how the Trump administration backs war against Palestine abroad and repression against supporters of Palestine at home.

This is what I call efficiency! DOGE is such a fucking joke - stocks.apple.com/AKvbYAjVCQg6...

Do you know why Americans are angry? Over the last 50 years, real weekly wages have been stagnant.  At the same time, there was a $79 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the to the top 1%. We need an economy that works for all, not just billionaires.

In Washington state, our 4th and 5th Congressional Districts—the only two represented by Republicans—have the highest proportions of people who rely on Medicaid! They will be hit hardest if Republicans succeed in their plan to dramatically slash Medicaid.

Chilling details from a lawsuit against DOGE by USADF about how much of a lie DOGE's "IT modernization" is (the best way to describe it is if someone comes from the cable company and then says because he's in your house, he's allowed to do a home invasion) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Good to meet with @housedemocrats.wa.gov & WA Senate Democrats in Olympia today. Trump & Elon's illegal power grab must be met with fierce resistance at every level of government. Democrats must show that we are the party that will build a stronger economy and protect your fundamental rights.

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

A bunch of twenty something DOGE staffers are deciding that phone support for the Social Security Admin is unnecessary. This will be the first step to cuts & skipped checks. If they can silence those with complaints & missing checks they can ignore them.

So much for the party of ‘law and order.’

Wisconsin, we need you now more than ever!

Imagine having enough money to SAVE the lives of millions of humans and instead using it to buy your way into the government so you can cut funding and instead kill millions of people. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Will Chamberlain was probably radicalized by one of the many anti-American institutions hostile to our values he’s been a member of, like Human Events, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Internet Accountability Project, and Quinn Emmanuel.

look at these headlines. we live in a dictatorship. it's not looming, it's not threatening, it's here.

The US Director of National Intelligence is retweeting a far-right conspiracy theorist based in Malaysia.

Well the answer is yes

"It’s the principle that Democrats are wholly unwilling to fight on the same playing field as Republicans. It’s that we seem forever doomed to be the party that allows the parliamentarian to shut down our entire agenda, while the Republicans won’t even let the US Constitution shut down theirs."

🆘 LIVE in Foley Square, NYC. We’re marching to #StopTheCuts and #SaveMedicaid. @bkindivisible.bsky.social #StoptheCoup #Resist

Between poll numbers showing Trump's approval rating on the economy plummetting and focus groups of Trump voters with buyer's remorse, it appears the MAGA fever may be breaking. For this and more good progressive news, don't miss the Week in Wins.

YES! Y'all, pay attention! Rise up! It's time!

BREAKING: Trump Invokes 1798 Wartime Law that Paved the Way for Japanese Internment. The repugnant law, known as the Alien Enemies Act, will allow Trump to detain and deport noncitizens without due process, writes Zeteo’s new legal contributor @kimwehle.bsky.social, professor of constitutional law:

🚨🚨🚨Elon Musk has installed a private equity investor and one of his closest allies at the Social Security Administration. Musk says Social Security is a ponzi scheme and wants to cut it. Protect Social security. Fire Elon Musk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...

Musk is a deranged, sick person who put out a tweet defending Hitler. Running interference for genocidal dictators who ordered mass murder is beyond the pale. Someone should educate him on the evils of the Holocaust. In the meantime he should be removed from his role—now!

“He is hurting the people,” Carey said. “He’s hurting the very people that voted for him, let alone the rest of us — he does not care. And you don’t get to stand up there and let it happen if you are an elected official, regardless of where you’re from.” avlwatchdog.org/army-veteran...
