If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

How Democrats Can Win This Shutdown Fight The party may be out of power, but it is not powerless. Here are a few suggestions for what to do about government funding.

Whatever strategy Democrats choose, they need to understand that the fight they’re in is different from any fight they’ve experienced in the past. Here's how they can approach the looming funding fight.

New from @tommalinowski.bsky.social:

Layoffs Hit Unbelievable High Thanks to Trump and Musk Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government have caused a record-breaking surge in layoffs.

BREAKING: Job losses spiked a whopping 245% in February.

This is higher than any month since July 2020 (the middle of pandemic) and the highest in any February since the Great Recession of 2009.

🚨 NEW: The stock market is crashing—down 700+ points today and 1,000 points lower than when Joe Biden left office just six weeks ago.

The reason? Donald Trump’s reckless, ill-advised tariffs. Americans are paying the price.

Behind Trump's unprecedented actions is the unitary executive theory, a once-fringe legal idea that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.

So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

How about they let @democracydocket.com into the White House briefing room and let it ask questions...

Heg = clown show.

Trump Administration Puts Dozens of U.S.A.I.D. Officials on Paid Leave An email to the aid agency’s employees cited actions “that appear to be designed to circumvent” an executive order by President Trump.

The Trump administration placed several dozen senior officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development on administrative leave in response to what an official characterized as resistance to President Trump’s policy.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Trump is attempting to unilaterally freeze trillions of dollars in federal spending that’s been duly appropriated by Congress. This is completely insane and illegal. He’s seizing unlawful control over the constitutional spending power? Five alarm fire www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Sen. Thom Tillis will be remembered by history as a coward. For not, let us work to see that he is defeated in Nov. 2026.

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.
