Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

The decision by who, Mike?

They’re also cutting back in Omaha, NE and Rapid City, SD.

Elon Musk, DOGE, and Donald Trump are making us all less safe by cutting staff at the beginning of the spring tornado season.

Let it be noted that the Democratic politician with as much proven crossover appeal as any in the country has done it while making a point of not giving in to the resegregators and transphobes.

NEW: According to the @nytimes.com, the Trump administration is planning to argue that its invocation of the Alien Enemies Act allows it to enter the homes of any person who they believe are subject to the declaration WITHOUT A WARRANT. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Frankly, this is shameful on the part of Paul, Weiss.

The executive orders targeting law firms are an existential threat to the legal industry. Capitulation is not the answer.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

BS as usual

I wish reading the news felt less like binge watching the final season of a long running series that’s been a major part of your life for decades.

This is a program for teenagers with serious disabilities who are finishing high school and transitioning to their next steps in life. Trump just axed it, effective immediately, in the middle of the night, with no notice.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Trump Publicly Admits He Thinks He Can Break Any Law He Wants Trump posted on Presidents Day weekend, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” — a startling, if not surprising admission.

at least he’s being honest about One thing guys. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.

Despite recent claims, the program is still running and is now available to 30M people in 2025.

Any attempt to dismantle it will enrich the tax prep industry at your expense.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Put aside the illegality for just one moment

Elon Musk is suggesting deep cuts in government spending-which will devastate the poorest among us

While his companies got $3.3 BILLION from the US

Worse-now he’s looking for tax cuts

When those same companies paid zero federal taxes in 2024

Trump's media company gave a roughly $800,000 stock award to his pick for FBI director Kash Patel did not disclose the stock award in his financial disclosure report, which all federal appointees are required to file.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze.
I worked at an organization that
-helped veterans who have lost a limb
-Assisted elderly and disabled people
-Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

HOW DOES THIS STORY GET WORSE STILL

But don’t worry. Oklahoma is buying thousands of Bibles for their public schools.

Why is Mike Johnson is doing everything in his power to make sure we don’t see an ethics report on Matt Gaetz if it proves he did nothing wrong?

When we said we weren’t “going back” we weren’t talking about going back to Polio, but here we are.
