The most relevant piece of information here is the R which Senator Murkowski keeps next to her name. She and three other Senators could take full control of the government out of the hands of the organization she herself describes as using terror tactics.

Thanks to @neilsteinberg.bsky.social for sharing my explanation at the @oah.org plenary or what we are up against today: a reactionary coalition of predatory capitalists, white supremacists, and Un-Christian so-called "Christians" that goes back 200 years--now fossil-fueled with desperation to win.

Only 34 Democrats Sign Letter on ICE Making Students Disappear Immigration officials are snatching international students off the street—and most Democrats don’t seem to care.

Shamefully poor showing of Democratic members of Congress on this list. If your house or Senate member is not on it, might be good to call and ask why?

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

How can we make the demand for a daily press conference a goal of @indivisible.org ?

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Pete Hegseth would not be Sec of Def without @RogerWicker. He had the power to stop the nomination.

So, will Senator Wicker call for an investigation of the most serious national security breach in modern times? Or just look the other way? Party or country?

Sounds like he's daring Goldberg to publish the parts he held back.

Marj Halperin: Democratic voters want more of everything When will Democrats step up to “flood the zone” with the vigorous fight for our democracy this moment demands?

"When will Democrats step up to 'flood the zone' with the vigorous fight for our democracy that this moment demands?" asks journalist & community activist Marj Halperin,

We need new leaders that can adapt to the new political landscape. We need them NOW. Read @marjhalperin.bsky.social in Tribune:

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’.

😡

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

AOC should announce a primary against Schumer tonight.

Democrats Demand Answers on DOGE’s Use of AI Members of the House Oversight Committee sent dozens of requests to federal agencies on Wednesday about their use of AI software—and how Elon Musk could benefit.

“Without clear purpose behind the use of AI, guardrails to ensure appropriate handling of data, and adequate oversight and transparency, the application of AI is dangerous and potentially violates federal law.”

Schumer backs away from shutdown, says hell vote to advance GOP bill The Senate minority leader spoke as more than a dozen colleagues came out against the House-passed stopgap. JORDAIN CARNEY 03/13/2025, 6:26PM ET Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer privately told fellow Democrats during a closed-door lunch Thursday that he would help advance a House GOP funding bill - a strong indication that Senate Democrats will ultimately back down from forcing a government shutdown on Saturday. Schumer's closed-door comments, confirmed by two people granted anonymity to disclose his private remarks, comes amid days of Democratic agonizing about the possible shutdown. Their dilemma was forced by the House's approval Tuesday of a funding patch through September, one that was written without Democratic input.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we, the American people, demand you stand with Senate Dems voting NO on the CR & Cloture.

NO blank checks for Trump & Musk.

NO gutting funds that help families eat while billionaires cheat the system.

Stand up for us!
Hold the damn line!

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

Great idea @deptofworkers.bsky.social . What do federal workers do for you and your community, folks?

For me, there is no way people in my state of Nc would be rebounding from the devastation of Hurricane Helene without the incredible assistance of federal workers.

What about you? Thanks for..?

Earlier today I wrote an open letter to Elon Musk in response to a post in which he claimed that I am “undermining civilization” and suffering from “generational trauma.” The response I received from so many of you was overwhelming.

Thank you for all the kind words of support.

The fight continues.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

72 million Americans are on the chopping block to lose their healthcare if Republicans pass the budget that came out of the House. AOC (D-NY) voices her concerns daily telling her colleagues on the other side of the aisle that people are yelling Don’t Cut My Medicare. AOC has no fucks left to give.

This is how it’s done.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power.

Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

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.

Thank you @jamellebouie.net for seeing what @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social has failed to. Tyler Cowen is no oracle but rather Charles Koch’s willing accomplice for three decades now. He is the darling front man for Koch’s base camp at GMU, as my book showed w/ whistleblower documentation. Wake up Ezra.

Jay Kuo on Substack Elon Musk attacked democracy defender and superstar court lawyer Marc Elias as “undermining civilization,” taunting him by asking if he suffered “generational trauma.” Elias’s response was brilliant ...

This strength gives me hope. So powerful and inspiring.

Just one Trump tax cut allowed 15 corporations—including Google, Meta, Amazon, McDonald's—to avoid more than $1 billion in taxes apiece.

Google alone saved $11 BILLION.

Do we really think these giant corporations need MORE tax breaks in 2025?
