Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including: -42 consumer protection cases at CFPB -20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ -6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC -7 crypto cases at SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

The Pentagon just publicly backed Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, almost a week after MAGA influencer Lara Loomer accused him of “promoting anti-Trump Leftists” on social media.

Texas Dems join California allies in Sacramento.

A good interview from THE BLUNT POST featuring Stonewall Democratic Club president Renay Grace Rodriguez soundcloud.com/vic-gerami/t...

House Republicans just passed Trump's budget bill — which contains massive Medicaid cuts — over unified Democratic opposition.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Whoopsy! #Andor

This story about the Columbia urban planning student whose visa was revoked is worth reading in its entirety. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/n... Just one thing that stood out is Columbia’s swift action and rapid eviction:

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy. This is lower than any other point even in his first term. PASS IT ON.

It certainly appears that Republicans are bracing for a Trump-induced recession (h/t @atrupar.com)

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick getting torn apart by constituents angry at Trump and Musk coming for their healthcare. Keep it up folks, bring the heat everyday ESPECIALLY when cameras are present, and share it everywhere. We are the media now. Hold these spineless fascists accountable.

Unexpected niche beat for @melissagiragrant.com: Covering the myriad protests happening right now despite claims on social media that 'no one is protesting.'

That also gets to something that’s off what’s off at exasperation some people here show when people elsewhere take to the streets to defend what can seem like smaller social benefits; you keep a culture of solidarity & protest that’ll matter in the biggest moment by using it in smaller ones.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Thanks to @demsofirvine.bsky.social for this meme.

NEW: Florida Republicans yesterday convened in a lightning-speed special session to pass new immigration laws. And this is important: Their bill would give Ron DeSantis more legal cover to summarily remove elected local officials. And take FL's effort to override local democracy to next level.

"Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said the Trump admin had withheld $117 million in federal funds, imperiling nearly 70 infrastructure projects & 120+ construction jobs... Montana’s natural resources and conservation department said it was pausing all projects funded by the U.S. Forest Service and BLM."

Trump wants to end legal protections for nearly 1 million immigrants in the US who have fled violence or natural disasters in their home countries. This would separate families and devastate local economies across the country. It's cruelty for cruelty's sake.

@marcelias.bsky.social on the media & business kissing the Trump ring: "The moment you do that, number one, you give up something very important about your integrity. But the second thing is you show Trump that he that that he has you. And once he's got you, you're not safer. You're more at risk."

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

Y’all, these latest numbers are insane! Derek Tran is going to beat Michelle Steel and will be in the lead by the end of the week. Get ready for Congressman Tran! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

California is still flipping and winning seats. We just won Dave Min to replace Katie Porter, and George Whitesides beat Mike Garcia. Now we are closing the gap and Derek Tran looking like he can beat Michelle Steel. And Adam Gray also closing his vote gap! Let’s go!

Then / Now. Just despicable.

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then. Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role. If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations). Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members. I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.
