Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

Lots of focus on Trump’s unhinged language, but not many pointing out that he extended his own deadline again.

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

Trump calling mail-in voting “cheating” and trying to ban it then voting by mail himself (again) as Republicans lose a Mar-A-Lago state house seat is really perfection 💋

Watching both sides of this war blatantly manipulate the US stock market is maddening.

HUGE: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

You better believe we’ll be investigating. newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

More like "Operation Epstein Fury."

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

the rest were buried before they died; you sail upon their tomb

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

Democrats can now credibly call for the repeal of the Trump tax cuts and the clawing back of the additional ICE funding as a way of offsetting the revenue loss from the ending of the illegal tariffs.

In most democracies Trump’s reckless and wild abuse of power through his tariffs would cause the government to fall or the leader to be removed. The imposition of these tariffs against the will of Congress, the courts, our allies, and the American people. It’s clear grounds for removal.

Among the most important signs of how SCOTUS might rein in a President's claim to emergency powers is: Chief Justice Roberts with Justices Gorsuch and Barrett on the 'major questions' doctrine. The three express deep skepticism of claims to open-ended emergency powers: 1/

NEW: Natasha Korecki at NBC reports that in light of the SCOTUS tariff ruling, Gov. Pritzker sent President Donald Trump an invoice of $8.6 billion.

I'd prefer it not have taken decades but personally I like blows being struck against elite impunity and would like that for us in the US very much

Completing the line-up for 🔥Daughters of Fire 🔥on 17th March: The wonderful poet and accomplished translator Kymm Coveney @kymminbarcelona.bsky.social 💗I'll also be reading poems from my debut poetry collection - an evening inspired by strong, vocal women through the ages! #OnlinePoetry #WomenPoets

I never saw such a sight in my life.

Absolutely amazing!

There is nothing surprising in this.

“.. We could spend the whole day reacting to every buffoonish spectacle coming out of the White House, but that's exactly what they want: for us to lose focus … Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Tomorrow, the Oversight Committee will have the opportunity to question Les Wexner about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Survivors told us from day one: follow the money. That is exactly what we intend to do.

The last three numbers I’ve seen put The Late Show somewhere between 2.1 and 2.5 million viewers a night. As of this writing, this upload has counted 3.7 million views.

As an attorney with occasional experience with the Equal Time rule, I can explain what's going on here and how the FCC's Brandon Carr is leveraging his position to force late night and daytime talk show hosts to exclude Democratic candidates. First I need to explain the Equal Time rule itself. 1/

Just FYI, @jimmykimmel.com trademarked it last week. Credit where it's due! youtu.be/4hrOPAstXns?...

Donald Trump is so focused on putting his name on everything, so let's grant him his wish by calling them the Trump-Epstein files. This is a massive cover-up by Trump and his cronies, and I won’t stop until we hold them accountable.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

Giving this type of weapon system to CBP to use is like giving a kindergartner an RPG. It was always going to end badly. We’re just lucky that all that happened was a confirmed kill on a party balloon & a lot of embarrassment. This could’ve been much worse. 5/

House Democrats have been clear: ICE should operate just like any other law enforcement agency. Reform ICE now!

Even the GOP understands that Bondi is toxic, and that any appearance of being chummy with or enabling a pedophile protector is electoral death.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
