Democrats have the votes to block this HORRIBLE spending bill, and they sure as hell better use it, but it’s the REPUBLICANS that need to wake the hell up… youtube.com/shorts/sv_c5...

DOGE officials are becoming concerned about their image, with negative headlines and angry town halls reinforcing how damaging their agency cuts are.

A federal judge ruled Monday that Trump’s extensive freeze to foreign aid spending through USAID likely violated the Constitution.

NEW: A federal judge, for the first time, has ordered discovery on Elon Musk’s role in DOGE and his authority over the massive overhaul of the federal bureaucracy. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

There isn’t a legal term sufficient to encapsulate how batshit this theory is so, yeah, “f-ing crazy” about sums it up.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

If they can bring down the US Department of Education, they will be emboldened to bring down your state department of education, your local school board. The target is public education itself, folks.

@hakeemjefferson.bsky.social Why aren’t you publicly traveling around prosecuting the case against Trump’s destruction of democracy like Sanders? Why aren’t you rounding up more democratic leadership to hit the streets. Dems need a more aggressive game plan. The GOP is vulnerable bc they won’t.

@repgaramendi.bsky.social I am one of your constituents. And my question is why aren’t you publicly traveling around and prosecuting the case against Trump and his destruction of democracy like Sanders is? You have an audience and more power than u are using. Please use it more aggressively.

@padilla.senate.gov I am one of your constituents. And my question is why aren’t you publicly traveling around and prosecuting the case against Trump and his destruction of democracy like Sanders is? You have a huge audience. Please use it more aggressively.

"By rejecting passivity, Sanders is also doing more to actually put Republicans—who’ve recently been ordered to abandon town halls in the wake of mounting anger from their own voters—under pressure."

Epic idea

Tired of winning.

A federal court reaffirmed its nation-wide injunction against Trump's anti-DEIA policy, clarifying it applies to every agency in the executive branch, protecting universities, workplaces, cities and communities to continue fostering diversity and inclusion without fear of retaliation. bit.ly/43BOSkd

While Trump & Musk DOGE cut the federal workforce and federal contracts leaving THOUSANDS of Americans UNEMPLOYED, Elon Musk & his family are flying for FREE on Air Force. MUSK is a BILLIONAIRE!! Why are OUR taxes paying for this? THIS is fraud, waste, & abuse. tribune.com.pk/story/253234...

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times. tinyurl.com/r6nkkz3j

Democratic Congressmember Al Green of Texas says Congress should impeach Trump. "Impeachment is a remedy for a runaway president who believes that there are no guardrails," he tells Democracy Now! www.democracynow.org/2025/3/7/imp...

It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵 time.com/3736357/bara...

In today's episode, we check in on the Stand Up for Science rallies that spread to 32 cities. Listen here 🎧: buff.ly/YgplAQ4

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Education Department to staffers: Quit by Monday and get $25K in cash

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the Office of Personnel Management to rescind “illegal” instructions to cull the workforce of federal agencies.

House Republicans unfazed by protests in their districts: “We’re moving forward with the cuts”

If you’ve watched his first four weeks and think Donald Trump’s not capable of finding a way to stay in office, well, you’re not paying attention.

The question isn’t whether Budde was right to speak up. The question is whether the rest of us will have the courage to join her.
