Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

Yep. Warned everyone. Privatization of everything is coming.

Pure fascism: the put down of the freedom of assembly.

Excellent! Get loud!

Oh Dolly, I know where your heart is. These are impossible days. I send you, my sister, so much love. 💕 Lynda

As long as I've been alive, even the MOST "Cut every service!" cold-hearted Republican knew better than to eschew the caveat of "Except VETERANS, they should get everything and more forever." It's a lay-up and *nobody* will challenge you.

You know, Joseph McCarthy was able to get away with a whole lot of shit until he started fucking with the Army… I think about that a lot.

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

It’s been six days since Chief Justice Roberts’s “administrative” stay in the foreign aid cases. That almost certainly means (1) someone’s dissenting; (2) the Court is trying to reach a compromise; or (3) both. Hard to be sure which it is, but the continuing pause is itself producing plenty of harm.

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers.   Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Your daily reminder that Republican Senators can stop this any time they want. They’re choosing not to. They prefer this. And they prefer what’s coming next.

Hi, South Carolina!

This is fine.

Super-shocked. The ambush was a pretext to illegally impound Ukraine aid.

Trump is doing what Putin and Musk want. It's becoming obvious that he owes his election to both of them. Foreign influence and an undue influence from a single billionaire with business interests directly affected by the decisions of Trump and Doge are the best argument for election reform

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees that ANYONE who can't easily admit that Russia invaded Ukraine is a Putin bootlicker, a Russian stooge, and a moronic fucking asshole. Russia invaded Ukraine, folks. PERIOD. h/t: @acyn.bsky.social

Never humor fascists. Their only roles are to be; Ridiculed. Or destroyed. That's it.

This might sound like a dig or hyperbole. But not enough mention of this. It says quite explicitly in 2.11 Exec Order that end-state level after all cuts is permanent level of govt to equal what it is during a full government shut down. Seems like worth highlighting this?

This. is. the. way. 👏🏼👏🏼💙👏🏼👏🏼 Everywhere they go, we should be right there, letting them know we do not approve of their bully tactics & we will never bend the knee towards fascism! vtdigger.org/2025/03/01/m...

This, so much. If an abuser wants to yell at you, even the very act of not giving them a reason enrages them.

FYI if you order from Uline you are putting money in this Trump Broligarch's and his family's pocket. This is Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein.

Welp, “Five bullets” 2.0 is going about as well as can be expected. Some can’t send it encrypted while some can. Folks from Commerce are getting the request email from Pete Hegseth at DoD. And someone had their personal health info sent to 15,000 people. ACES!

Now they're bribing people to resign because they know how legally difficult it is to fire people.

This tweet from Elon Musk is, of course, false. The first known victim of DOGE died around February 2 after the refugee hospital that was giving her oxygen shut down. But the tweet will be useful as there's abundant proof he's lying (or ill-informed) about Ebola & restarting payments.

Buckle up

Trump and his tariffs crash the Dow. Meanwhile the DAX and FTSE are both up because of Trump and Ukraine. Trump's casinos, Trump's airline, Trump's "university," and Trump's nation: all in the dumper, because of him. Good work, asshole.

The Dow is currently down more than 500 points

Mike Johnson and Elon Musk are gathering up your personal information to sell overseas while blaming you for fraud against social security.

Move On has something planned but I'm not opposed to there being a couple of push backs. Is Pete B doing the rebuttal?

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This is a small group of centrist moderates you've never heard of lead by Matt Bennett - an old, pro-capitalist white guy that used dirty tricks to tank the Dukakis campaign in 1988. His organization is called "Third Way," and he can fuck all the way off. We will NOT abandon our values.

NEW: Some personal advice (not legal advice) on how to respond to the five bullets email. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/how-to-res...

Mark is right. Someone had a whole podcast about this. Name escapes me, though.

Some figures on the potential death toll from Musk's pointless destruction of USAID, from a memo written by a fired official. He will be remembered as one of the great monsters of history. 1/x

"Leech" is right

Please stop mocking people for talking about elections like “oh isn’t it cute you think there’ll be another election.” You’re discouraging people from voting. Which is exactly what Trump wants you to do.

I love this for him.

This is not an effort to roll back "DEI" It's an effort to roll back civil rights "Agencies across the federal government are dismantling offices that enforce civil rights and antidiscrimination laws...weakening the government’s ability to deliver on legal obligations to protect workers’ rights"

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

A reckless lie that puts my family in danger. If they think this is true, do an investigation, but they know it’s not so they just spread it on social media to intimidate. Fuck them. Bring it and don’t bring it weak, bitches.
