Got an income? Made the choice to buy food and pay your electric bill in summer rather than a loan payment? Not anymore. Starve and roast.

Good time to subscribe to Wired. I used to think of it as a guilty pleasure at the newsstand, a holdover from nerdy youth. But they are doing an excellent job covering key elements of our political reality.

Elected and appointed officials in America are actually questioning the merits of Due Process. Just needs pointing out where we are. Shocking.

Senator Murphy is doing his job. He’s one of the most vocal and hardest working senators opposing Trump, corruption, and techno feudalism, fascism. He rang the alarm bells, held town halls, and tried to mobilize his colleagues long before anyone else in the senate, except for Sanders and Warren.

Seems bad that the new U.S. Attorney who is threatening to lock up Trump’s political opponents was working for Russia before getting his new job. But maybe it’s just me.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

β€˜This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook (Gift Article) The president’s escalating conflict with federal courts is even more aggressive than what happened in countries like Hungary and Turkey, experts say.

Compared to Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, Poland, Trump is moving MUCH faster, more aggressively, and with broader claim to power. We're not in danger of becoming those autocracies--we're very quickly surpassing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

Trump signs executive order to dismantle the Education Department The complete elimination of the department would require the approval of Congress.

Trump signed an EO to dismantle the Department of Education, which can only legally be done through an act of Congress. This executive overreach will only benefit right-wing extremists who seek to privatize education.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

It’s not the β€œFar Right”. It’s the Right that’s trying to cut Medicaid. And you are Republican-Lite.

First of all, Dems are still getting paid by our tax $. They don’t get to be pathetic wet socks while Republicans are destroying the country. The Dem Establishment also needs to own up to the fact that its centrist, β€œRepublican lite” platform is unpopular and largely why they lost big in 2024.

Please listen and shareβ€”this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Why would you have encouraged Zelensky to take the minerals deal in the first place? Those minerals would be going to corporations (like Tesla) and Americans would never see a dime. Will you please explain?
