Democrats raise millions for Florida special elections in Trump territory Democrats Gay Valimont and Josh Weil raised a combined $15.7 million ahead of their April 1 special elections, but they still face uphill climbs in the ruby-red districts.

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empireโ€”Trumpโ€™s administration and Muskโ€”may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. Weโ€™ve always knownโ€”tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Some don't want posts like this on @bsky.app. I want more. Why ?

This is a moderated platform. Which means unbridled hate is removed. And blocked.

Making this is a platform where we can engage and have real discussions on real issues.

How to Win the USAID Fight Rules for Democrats.

"Donald Trump and JD Vance arenโ€™t going to respond by saying, 'These Untermenschen deserve to die.' But you know who just might say that out loud? The ketamine-addled billionaire and his menagerie of 20-year-old incels." So make them say it.

Exclusive | Elon Muskโ€™s Secret Conversations With Vladimir Putin Regular contacts between worldโ€™s richest man and Americaโ€™s chief antagonist raise security concerns. Topics include geopolitics, business and personal matters.

The problem with Musk didnโ€™t start with Trump. But given Musk has significant government contracts now has unchecked power as an unelected head of a made-up โ€œagencyโ€ hereโ€™s a little refresh from a @WSJ story from October. Pay attention people.

What does Trump mean when he invokes America's 'Manifest Destiny'? The 19th century term describes the perceived right of Americans to use force or the threat of force to wrest desireable land from the grasp of others.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Elon Muskโ€™s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behaviorโ€”shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

The CFPB is now barred from conducting external communications and has paused key operations. Meanwhile, Muskโ€™s staffers are accessing sensitive CFPB data, including procurement, human resources, and financial records.

Muskโ€™s teamโ€”Christopher Young, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gavin Kligerโ€”is currently at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This move comes just months after Musk posted โ€œDelete CFPBโ€ on his X social media platform.

Elon Muskโ€™s companiesโ€”Tesla and SpaceXโ€”have received billions in government contracts and subsidies. Yet, this issue is largely ignored. Isnโ€™t it time we started holding corporations accountable for the massive burden they place on taxpayers?

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

If you voted Republican, and you care about your country, please act rather than rationalize. Unless you cast your ballot so that South African oligarchs could steal your data, money, country, and future, tell your elected officials that you wanted something else.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?

At OPM, Muskโ€™s staffers wonโ€™t leaveโ€”they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Iโ€™m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But itโ€™s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are
