Trump's on the golf course, putting around while Zelenskyy has been living and surviving in a war zone - for the last 3 years.

Straight up. Trump is a traitor & He is Putins Bitch. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Reps. Raskin and Crockett are requesting all notes from the Jan. 31st meeting between Adams’ legal team and the DOJ, along with early communication between the Trump White House and DOJ officials about the investigation into Adams, among other materials. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

NEW: Is corporate America lying to us about DEI? @garrisonhayes.bsky.social breaks down how the corporate retreat from DEI is more about "anticipatory obedience" to Trump in his new video. WATCH:

Time to #BringTheFunk! The 3.3.25 edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered is LIVE! www.youtube.com/live/LbYUVqH... Topics: Black female Texas worker reduced to tears over GOP DEI attack; Trump’s tariffs destroying economy; Angie Stone salute. #BlackOwnedMediaMatters

This is insane. Is the Kremlin just directly puppeteering the U.S. Republican Party??? www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcn...

The Trump administration keeps reciting the statistic that only 6% of federal employees are working full time in their offices. That’s astoundingly low — and completely untrue. Here’s how an online survey was taken out of context to perpetuate a myth:

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

This says it all.

If only Congress had the ability to do something about this…

Of course Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving “evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as ‘a delusional lie’ and called multinational institutions ‘demonic’”… www.propublica.org/article/mike...

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

I normally check our @blackstarnetwork PO Box every 2-3 weeks. I checked it three weeks ago. Normally, there will be 20-30 checks and money orders. But on Wednesday, it was truly overflowing.

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

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

You don’t need to be an infectious disease doctor to see where this is going

To me, a book event is like a lovely dinner party—among friends & strangers. I can’t think of a better group to include at a dinner party w/ you. I'd be so thrilled if you visited one of these book events. Thank you @pantheonbooks.bsky.social #books #author #memoir

RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks just now: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." It is actually very unusual. This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.

Trump's social media video garners pushback from Arabs and Muslims in U.S. and Gaza @claycane.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

BREAKING: A mass resignation rebellion has erupted at DOGE. Over 20 employees, including engineers, data scientists, and product managers, have asserted they refuse to use their expert technical skills to “dismantle critical public services.” “We swore to serve the American people and uphold…

The AP was banned from the event but the French press corps conspired to get a US AP reporter inside and insisted she be allowed to ask her question.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls. Keep up the fight.

Eugene Daniels Leaves Politico To Co-Host MSNBC Weekend Roundtable Show: Eugene Daniels, Politico’s White House correspondent and Playbook author, is making his next big move — joining MSNBC to co-host a weekend roundtable. The move comes amid a wider shake-up at the network this week that saw host…

both would be terrific: MSNBC is considering on-air host positions for Eugene Daniels, a co-author of Politico’s influential Playbook newsletter, and Melissa Murray, a professor at the New York University School of Law www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

🚨NEW: White House Correspondents Association President Eugene Daniels slams Trump: “the government will choose the journalists who cover the president. In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps." REPOST if you stand with Daniels against Trump!

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

WOW!!! Totally unprofessional!

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access. It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

It’ll always be disgusting that we went from having a respected decorated 4-star General as Secretary of Defense to a moronic rapist woman abuser Fox host like Pete Hegseth.

Just looking at the events of *this one day* compels the conclusion that the United States Government is being run by morons, psychos, invertebrates, and crooks.

Deborah Rutter was fired this week after a decade as president of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She says the center worked hard to expand its audience by broadening the programming, inviting "all manner of arts and artists to our stages. ... I pray that that can be sustained."

Valor Danielle Sassoon, Acting U.S. attorney for SDNY - refuses to drop Adams charges and resigns John Keller, Acting head of DOJ Public Integrity Section - refuses and resigns Kevin Driscoll, Acting head of DOJ Criminal Division - refuses and resigns www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

JUST IN: New reporting from @ryanjreilly.com that at least three other senior members of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section just resigned following a meeting with the Acting Deputy AG, Emil Bove, over the Eric Adams case.
