🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Bill Essayli, a Trump-appointed Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, has been serving unlawfully in the nation’s largest federal district — the third such finding against a prosecutor installed by President Donald Trump.

Border czar Tom Homan has said repeatedly that he recused himself from all contracting matters. But ProPublica reported he has been involved in conversations with industry players about government contracts.

Donald Trump flirting with a third term is nothing new. I broke down this dangerous idea back in March. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLjs...

"The Right in 2025 Sounds a Lot Like the Nazis in 1925" Today’s far right may know it’s wrong to talk about a “superior race,” so it just frames it as a “superior culture” instead: zeteo.com/p/the-right-...

Trump: "They spent $900,093,000 on the catapults trying to get them to work. And they had steam, which worked so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're gonna go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm gonna do an executive order."

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

THE LIES‼️ Trump forced through the East Wing demolition by firing three members of Biden’s planning committee and replacing them with his own loyalists. Now his handpicked insiders control a quiet but powerful board that decides what happens to the White House itself.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot. IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. See you on the ballot on March 17.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Chicagoans are rightly furious about what ICE is doing here as it tries to sow chaos in this otherwise peaceful city. Now we also have a flurry of unwarranted tear gassing incidents across the city that sure look like a violation of a federal court order. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Federal judge in Chicago has ordered U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino to attend a hearing in her courtroom next week, after he was accused of violating a temporary restraining order limiting federal agents' use of certain tactics www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

complete batshit insanity

The insurrection didn't end on January 6th.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

It could be that Mike Johnson is blocking the 218th vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump. It could also be that he wants to dissolve the Congress without seeming to. A THREAD.

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown. This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

Ronald Reagan found Donald Trump annoying & avoided him. Trump spent years trying to reach him and failed, Reagan saw him as a loudmouthed rich moron with a large ego, and wanted nothing to do with him. Trump stood in line to get his picture taken with him at a meet & greet.

“Liberation Day” liberated Americans from their hard-earned money What a joke that was

Threatening to arrest governors for seditious conspiracy. Getting dark fast.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing. People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

The Pentagon somehow determined that the best supplier available for drone parts just happened to be the one that had one of President's sons on its board -- government-wide graft going on. | FT www.ft.com/content/4ced...

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Looks like a gravesite. For our Nation.

This is chilling. And it doesn't exist anymore except on the Internet.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

If Trump has nothing to hide, he has nothing to lose. He should welcome this, right? www.cbsnews.com/news/jack-sm...

The new ball room should be called the *Money Lenders Temple."

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Trump on ICE agents: "Now I understand why they should wear masks. I think it's very dangerous for them not to wear masks. They can do whatever they want."
