Bodies in motion will stay in motion. So, let’s keep this momentum going as we head into Monday. Congress is back in session on Monday and there’s still a lot of work to do to defeat the Big Ugly Bill and whatever spending bill spawns pop up. Stay informed and plan to take action.

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

This is incredibly dangerous and will cost lives. It will also disable people, as many food borne illnesses can lead to chronic health problems.

Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, officials say The move threatens to upend trillions of dollars in e-commerce business and the 250-year-old Postal Service.

"Trump’s order to place the Commerce Department in charge of the Postal Service would probably violate federal law, according to postal experts." We need stronger language from the media and less cooperation from people in a position to resist illegal orders. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.

The ATF’s main mission is to stop violent crime. We need a leader who respects federal law enforcement and will never put the gun lobby ahead of public safety. That’s not Kash Patel.

WATCH: Dem Senator warns U.S. may be "months" from "irreversible" destruction of democracy In an interview, Sen. Chris Murphy issued a grave warning about the country's most "serious moment" since the Civil War and answered questions about how Democrats must change their ways fast

Senator Murphy knows his job is to wake up every day clear-eyed and not be afraid. Take a half hour to watch. Then GET INVOLVED in working to save our democracy.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator.

And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

House Democrats Have Leverage— If They Use It Republicans Can't Pass a Budget Without Democrats: Any funding bill that passes the Senate must clear the 60-vote filibuster, meaning Senate Republicans will be forced to compromise with Democrats. That bill will not be the full MAGA wishlist-it will be a negotiated deal. And here's the problem for House Republicans: as soon as the bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. The House Freedom Caucus will refuse to vote for anything that doesn't include extreme cuts and right-wing poison pills. That means House Republicans' razor-thin 218-215 majority won't be enough to pass a budget on their own. If just three Republicans defect, the bill dies. Their chaos and dysfunction have already divided them. Democrats must not bail them out. Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass a budget, and that gives Democrats enormous leverage. The GOP Civil War is a Gift-Exploit It: The House GOP is eating itself alive. The far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding draconian cuts, while vulnerable Republicans fear the backlash of a shutdown. Demoerats should let them fight and use it to extract real concessions. The Shutdown Deadline is the GOP's Problem to Solve: Government funding runs out on March 14. If the GOP can't pass a bill, they own the shutdown. Instead of letting Republicans ram through a terrible deal, Democrats should be demanding a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families. Trump and His Billionaire Buddies Want to Steal the Budget: Trump and his inner circle, led by Russ Vought, are openly planning to override federal spending decisions, funnel cash to their allies, and slash social programs. If the budget doesn't include safeguards-real, meaningful, and enforceable safeguards— they will rob the country blind.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.
