Signal-gate shows what happens when accountability is broken The Trump administration is eliminating all official accountability for any potential wrong-doing by the president and his allies.

DOJ’s failiure to eveninvestigate Signal-Gate isn’t a one off - it’s excatly what Trump has been trying to achieve since 2016: break accountability. My latest for @contrariannews.org

BREAKING: As Cory Booker goes on to his 23rd hour straight, his livestream on TikTok has been “liked” over 175 million times. Yes 175 MILLION!

Fuck yeah, Senator Booker.

The top 7 donors in the 2024 election — all GOP — gave a combined $1B to buy Trump a second term.

It's a gigantic amount of money in total — but it's just pocket change to them.

We must get Big Money out of politics.

No one from either party should be able to buy an election.

No notes.

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Tweet from 'Matt Stoller' reads, "I wonder if the fall of Rome was this stupid."

And here we are, with our own Orange Julius.

Immigration is checking phones and laptops at borders

If you travel into/out of US, i'm 100% serious when I say: buy a prepaid phone to take with you, don't take your normal phone. Don't sign in to any socials on it and don't text anything less than innocuous on it. I'm so serious.

The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.

The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.

So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

Hello?

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around.

International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.

I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

😡

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous.

So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

A screenshot of an X post by Paul Graham (@paulg ) posted 13 hours ago on March 7, 2025, asking which American Republican leaders are bold enough to respond to a question posed by Inna Sovsun (@InnaSovsun ). Inna Sovsun's post challenges those suggesting Ukraine give up Crimea and Donbas for peace by asking them to name a specific region in their own country they would surrender if Putin started bombing their cities.

Oooh! Oooh! I know! Mar-a-Lago.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Never forget what russia has done to Mariupol. There can be no lasting peace in Europe without justice for this. It's either peace through strength and accountability, or more wars through appeasement and concessions. No third way.

This is a concentration camp

So they’re going through and cutting all the programs that benefit the American people to make room for a 400 million dollar T€sla contract. Fuck these people and fuck this administration and fuck anyone who voted for this.

A tweet from the user "Mr. Newberger" reads: "TRUMP: I am going to tariff France until they start eating croissants. FRANCE: Okay Monsieur Trump, we will eat zee croissants. ELON: Donald Trump is getting things done! MAGA: Trump wins again!"

Pretty much how they spin it!

People who didn’t understand Kendrick Lamar‘s halftime show also don’t understand how tariffs work.
