“The Liberals in Canada were losing big until our president kept mocking Canadians, our neighbors and close friends. He made Canadian Liberals great again." -- Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) First time I've agreed with him on anything.

more law firms have just sold out to Trump

HAPPENING NOW: Following the Supreme Court's decision requiring the government to "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia, a hearing before Judge Paula Xinis is about to begin. I'm in Greenbelt, Maryland for @lawfare.bsky.social Follow along for updates

🚨These 15 MAGA Republicans would gladly throw their own constituents under the bus if it means another tax break for the rich. 📌 They’re not just cutting Medicaid—they’re letting people die to fund billionaire handouts. 📢 IT’S TIME TO SPEAK UP! ☎️ Light up those phones now. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel sued to overturn the #AffordableCareAct and take away healthcare from Wisconsin families. If elected to the WI Supreme Court, we can't trust him to side with Wisconsinites over wealthy insurance and drug companies. Vote for Susan Crawford.

Thread: the premise of the EOs aimed at Paul Weiss and other law firms is that it’s based on national security concerns. Yet nothing in the “settlement” had anything to do with addressing such concerns. It was extortion pure and simple.

The decision by who, Mike?

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared. And we will remember their names.

If we are deporting all men who have extremist tattoos without hearings, this dude would be in El Salvador by now.

I'm picking up real X vibes in the comments on some of the posts lately. Not what I expected from this platform.

A billion in funding cut from school lunches and food banks. I would have thought "we should feed children, not take food away from them" would be an obvious Christian position, but Trump and his Christian supporters apparently feel different.

Whomever is advising Democrats on social media this week, please keep doing your thing, queen or king. <3

It’s time, isn’t it?! 🤚

The cuts to the VA are unacceptable and put our veterans at risk. These individuals have sacrificed so much for our country, and it is our duty to ensure they receive the care and support they deserve.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

Hearing from a source: "A friend at NCI lost 3 outstanding staff (their words) and tweeted about it. She was suspended for 2 days. No idea how her tweet was flagged." This is for all the people asking us why it's hard to tell what's happening at NIH. Retaliation is real.

I am so tired of these shabby, pitiful little men. They stink of the sly connivance previously dominated by cheap carnival barkers and two cent grifters. They are odious, shallow, and a blight against the existence of honest people and a society that values trust.

Fetterman is just a worse dressed Sinema. And that’s hard to do.

#SheShed The illegal ICE arrest, then disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil… Our Constitution is on a ventilator… From his lawyer:

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) filed a resolution ... to formally censure ... Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for …”racist and derogatory" comments made about Rep. Al Green (D-TX), claiming Green was "shak[ing] his pimp cane" at Trump at the joint address before Congress. www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebe...

Fuck

In Canada, if you are flying to the USA, you usually go through US customs at the airport. Same for some flights into Canada. College students from Canada fly to AZ or FL for spring break in March. This is US customs hall at Pearson airport in Toronto on Saturday. We’ve lost our best friend.

If todays X outage is truly a cybersecurity issue, then let me draw your attention to Musk hijacking a two billion dollar FAA contract for himself with Starlink equipment that hasn’t been rigorously tested for cybersecurity concerns. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This asshole assaulted police officers, sprayed Mace at them, and the Orange County GOP is honoring him as some kind of hero. This is some fucking bullshit.

See Dems? Not that hard!

Meeting this warrior hero @charlotteclymer.bsky.social was a surreal but truly joyous experience for me. Made the rest of the #jointaddress shit show bearable last night. My heart is full.

I don’t ever want to hear “thank you for your service” from that draft-dodging coward again. We already lost 20 inpatient beds for mental health and detox at my local VA. The real-world impacts of this on our nation’s heroes cannot be understated. apnews.com/article/vete...

Not So Fun Fact: Speaker Mike Johnson is living in a $3.7 million townhouse provided by a wealthy evangelical nutjob who wants to end the separation of church and state. #Resist www.propublica.org/article/mike...

Vermont understood the assignment. Take notes, America.

Admitting Norway to NATO is proving to be one of the biggest decisions it’s made.

Florida special election on April 1 You must register to vote before March 3 Get off your asses and get on it

Every real Republican must speak out in disgust with Trump’s behavior with Zelenskyy. Putin must have something big on Trump. If you don’t speak out, you are no better than Trump. MAGA - Putin apologists. Unpatriotic at the core. We are better than this. Enough!

This afternoon at the White House, President Trump and Vice President Vance looked into the eyes of a man fighting for his country’s freedom from tyranny and told him to say “thank you.” 🧵

Ooops, sorry, didn’t mean to drop this. 😏

Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary." Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year. 1/2

And on FOX NEWS, no less.

these are segregationists.

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here. We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...
