Interesting thoughts to ponder,

Someone please ask him:

“If you were in the business world again, selling ‘Trump Coffee,’ and the beans you were importing from Costa Rica were suddenly hit with a 25% tariff, would *you* eat the cost? Or would you pass it along to your customers?”

Only when 70 million Americans together go on strike will America listen.

Crow: When wealthy elites like Trump pound their chests and talk about war—they’re not talking about themselves. They’re talking about everybody else. They’re talking about people like me and the people I grew up with, who have do the tough work for them so they can act tough and pound their chests.

US at tipping point for return of endemic measles The United States is at a tipping point for the return of endemic measles a quarter century after the disease was declared eradicated in the country, researchers warned on Thursday.

“So far this year, measles cases are up 180% over full-year 2024 … With vaccination rates dropping for MMR shots as well as for other childhood vaccines, outbreaks of preventable infectious diseases are increasing.”

for the love of god yall get your vaccines — and that means your kids too

firmly believe they can’t round up the “millions of criminals” they promised because they simply don’t exist — so we get this hamhanded shit as they flail around trying to meet ridiculous quotas

Courts Handed Trump A Slew of Legal Losses This Week Read more here.

Conservative and liberal judges across the country this week ruled against President Donald Trump in at least 11 different lawsuits challenging his administration’s immigration, elections and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We must not stop speaking up.

Hearing so many powerful voices–from American families to congressional leaders–has left me filled with hope for the fights and work ahead.

Booker: This is a moral moment

journalists should assume the admin is lying. judges should assume the admin is lying. Dems voting on appointments should assume the admin is lying.

like, we should not be extending the benefit of the doubt ever here.

Some things are worth repeating: Social Security is an EARNED benefit that WE, the American people, pay into.

It should not be a political punching bag. Hands all the way off.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

Rubio on X: Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador.  The alliance between @POTUS and President @nayibbukele has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.

This is not lawful.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

In a World of Pete Hegseths, Be a Maya Angelou In a world of complex threats and challenges, the Department of Defense has decided to tackle one of the gravest: a quintessential piece of American literature.

"'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' was removed from the Naval Academy Library.

Why?

Because impressionable midshipmen might be educated in aspects of American history and society they hadn’t experienced? Because they might become too favorable to diversity?"

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Also I hope we're all on this same page

EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole

they were ALL wrongfully deported.

I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan'

but NO ONE should've been sent there

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers!

At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why.

Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years.

Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism.

May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

Senator Booker broke Senator Thurmond’s record for the longest speech on the Senate floor. Thurmond used his time to stand in the way of progress. Booker is using his to stand for it. This is powerful. This is the America we’re fighting for. This is our moral moment & we must all answer the call.

wait wait wait. you’re telling me ELON MUSK has never actually been to space? not even once? mr. “i will die on mars” was too busy billionaire cringeposting for a quick pop up?

what happened, buddy? couldn’t find a rocket? allergic to moon dust? what’s going on there

How are you????

Garcia: I will never stop pushing back and fighting Elon Musk and Donald Trump until you throw me in Guantanamo Bay. I promise you that.

Georgia Woman Arrested After Disposing of Miscarriage Police are treating the disposal of a fatal miscarriage as abandonment of a dead body Troy Matthews Mar 26

A woman in Tifton, Georgia was arrested this week after disposing of a miscarried fetus in a dumpster. Selena Maria Chandler-Scott, 24, was found unconscious and bleeding by EMS after miscarrying. Police later found the remnants of her fetus in a bag in a dumpster nearby, after a witness reported seeing her dispose of the bag. Chandler-Scott was arrested and charged with concealing the death of another person, and one count of throwing away or abandonment of a dead body. Tifton Police said in a press release the fetus died as a result of a miscarriage, not an abortion. She was transferred to Tift Regional Medical Center for treatment after being found, and was not immediately charged.

=MTN It's unclear what Chandler-Scott should have done to avoid charges in this case. Her arrest is another example of the rights of a fetus taking precedence over the rights of women in red states. Vagueness in the language of Republican abortion bans has led women to avoid going to the hospital for care of miscarriages. Any intervention to save the women's life could be interpreted as an illegal abortion, a crime which carries a sentence of up to ten years. Chandler-Scott's case is similar to Brittany Watts, a 34-year-old Ohio woman who was charged with abuse of a corpse after miscarrying into her toilet at her home. A grand jury later refused to indict Watts.

Even the police confirmed she had a miscarriage and not an abortion. Yet they still arrested her.

Crockett: Pam Bondi, if you have an issue with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about locking back up those guys that he let out that participated in January 6th.
