NEW: White House begins search for new defense secretary. Shame on you Republicans senators for your cowardice in confirming Hegseth, putting our country and safety last!

BREAKING: Harvard University sued the Trump administration after the federal government said it was freezing $2.2 billion in grants and sought what university officials described as "unprecedented and improper" control over the Ivy League institution.

Not to be lost in the news of the 90 day freeze…is the fact that Mike Johnson and House Republicans voted to take away their own power (which Congress has) in the future to stop Trump from putting in place crazy tariffs in the future. This is the 2nd time this year they have done this.

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I enjoyed this movie, and found myself getting very emotional in light of what is happening in our country now. “An Englishman experiences personal and political changes after adopting a penguin during a turbulent time in Argentina's history.”

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Devastating!

This is devastating. With a family member suffering from Parkinson’s I simply cannot believe that these types of cuts to research are in any way justified. Please help me understand!

Horrible!

This is so sad!!!!

BREAKING: Judge denies Trump administration's request to stay order compelling return of man wrongfully deported.

Americans abroad also protested yesterday. This is a sign from a protest at a Tesla showroom in Berlin.

Demonstrations took place across the country, uniting a myriad of criticisms of the Trump administration under one message: "Hands off."

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

@maddow.msnbc.com shared that all these tariffs are based on an economic theory by an imaginary person made up by Peter Navarro to quote for his books They’re all con men! www.rawstory.com/trump-tariff...

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Rise! Make your voices heard!

Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and detained simply for voicing his beliefs. Instead of preparing for the arrival of his first child with his wife, he’s sitting in ICE detention. This Arab American Heritage Month and beyond, we’re fighting for everyone’s fundamental right to dissent.

OMG help us!

Measles cases in Kansas more than doubled in the last week, bringing the tally to 20, while another outbreak in Ohio has sickened 10 people, local public health officials reported on Wednesday. Health officials have worried that a Texas measles outbreak may be seeding others.

In a particularly rough week for the Trump administration, a number of the president's allies are calling for accountability after military plans were inadvertently shared with a journalist.

A new NATO naval patrol known as Baltic Sentry is targeting Russian ships cutting undersea cables that carry of data and power to northern Europe.

BREAKING: In a new filing, we're demanding answers about whether the Trump administration defied a court order barring it from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act. The public deserves answers about President Trump’s actions.

Donald Trump promised to lower food prices. Instead, he fired the experts in charge of containing the bird flu. Yep – the same bird flu that’s part of the reason egg prices are surging.

Kakistocracy. With the measles outbreak even, he refuses to tell parents to vaccinate their children, or themselves. So incredibly dangerous- taking us backwards by decades. www.cnbc.com/2025/03/09/r...

This man is so dangerous! He has been given way too much power, and he needs to go! I gifted this article so you can read it. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Health authorities are calling attention to a looming consequence of the Trump administration’s gutting of USAID: the risk of a global surge in tuberculosis cases and deaths. Many countries depend on foreign aid for TB prevention, testing and treatment, according to the WHO.

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance berated President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday, a public confrontation unlike any seen between an American president and foreign leader in modern times. Here are key excerpts from the heated exchange.
