My annual reminder, since Passover is Saturday, that NO YOU CANNOT HOLD A PASSOVER SEDER IF YOU ARE CHRISTIAN AND PASSOVER HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT HE CELEBRATED IT.

Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt have such punchable faces. They remind me of every single high school mean girl.

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

I learned a few years ago that I am Ukrainian, and I can safely say I feel far more allegiance to the country of my Jewish ancestors than I do toward my own birth country. Fuck Trump, fuck Soviet America (because that’s what we are now)

Pass it on.
#StandWithUkraine

Zelenskyy is a war hero protecting his country. Trump will see his own country be destroyed from the inside out as long as he gets a profit out of it. Period.

Asked a friend how it's going and they responded "bad but I'm used to it" devastating

The Gabby Petito documentary is a stark reminder that women are only believed once they’re dead.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

The Trump admin doesn’t realize yet that all these cuts to agencies that provide safety to the American people means that *they* will suffer too. I’m gonna laugh when they all get cancer from the shitty food they have to eat now thanks to cutting back the FDA

“Donald Trump is a white supremacist, full stop/If you vote for him again, you’re a white supremacist, full stop/Call it like it is, and then let the rims spin til they full stop/Put one up for Big Floyd, the match is not goin to stop”

Why are the slowest drivers ALWAYS in Teslas

AP Accuses White House of Violating First Amendment The Associated Press said the White House had blocked its journalists from attending press events because the news agency had not started using the term Gulf of America.

The Associated Press on Wednesday accused the White House of violating the First Amendment and called on the Trump administration to stop blocking its reporters from press events.

Republican senators—senators who represent the poorest red states—want to completely cut the Medicaid budget. Many many MANY of their constituents are on Medicaid. Y’all understand what you voted for yet?

I’m telling you, it’s only a matter of time before Trump gets tired of Elon running the show and ousts him. Egos like theirs never mesh well for long

Anyone else remember when paperbacks were like $9.99?

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.

Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law.

In a blistering statement, the American Bar Association describes "attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize" diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself."

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Very happy that a city I both like and am completely terrified of won

Emilia Pérez probably didn’t need to be a musical, first of all…

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

soooo none of us are making student loan payments right

Hey Canada, my late grandfather was Canadian, pick me up I’m scared

Lol sure, what law are those trying to stop a coup breaking? Charges mean nothing until conviction, charge all you want bud

Don’t give in FBI!!! We need you for this!!!

REAGAN of all people saying this means something. Republicans pls continue speaking out

Took us a couple weeks but I’m feeling energized by the protests this weekend, by the FBI, and even a couple Dem senators now. Feels like resistance may be finally waking up.
