I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote. The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate. His approval ratings are tanking. He does not have a mandate. Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful. He's not.

The master.

Three months ago.

BREAKING: After blocking the firing of six federal probationary employees, Hampton Dellinger has now asked the MSPB (this time Cathy Harris - another person trump failed to fire) to block the firing 5,000 probationary USDA workers. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

This is *permanent* (not preliminary) injunction. Earlier, the judge consolidated Harris' motion for a preliminary injunction and the merits, treating the briefings as cross-motions for summary judgment . Harris' motion for summary judgment has been GRANTED, and her job has been fully reinstated.

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.
