The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina through a mix of financing from sovereign funds and the private sector. https://to.pbs.org/3WGx5DT

I'm attending No Kings's event, “No Kings October Mobilization Kickoff Call” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Ever since Trump saw the Bastille Day celebration in Paris, he’s wanted a military style celebration of HIM so since June 14 is his birthday he plans (as of now) a military style parade with at least six thousand soldiers marching. Ewww!

How much of the US federal budget is allocated to AmeriCorps? 0.02% of the 13-digit budget goes to AmeriCorps. Every dollar invested turns into over $17 in economic and community benefits. But we guess DOGE considers that fraud, waste, and abuse.

Something we all need to work saving!

Two things on my mind! The first is the extraordinary research that was a key element of the historical new book by Yalie Greg Gandin titled América América! ~ And! The clever story in the movie Sinners is not to be missed. Ryan Coogler is is back in town with universal love of music! 💕👍

I heard an interesting interview with author Omar El Akkad! His book One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. An immigrant view on how America should hold tight to freedoms of speech, of freedom to read any book, following laws, etc

The April 5 rally for protecting our democratic institutions at the Washington Monument drew over 100,000 people. The ENERGY of each individual to work, each in their own way, to save our government was absolutely beautiful and we’ll keep at it! We the People!!!!

Pramila Jayapal has instituted Resistance Labs using Dr Martin L King’s 6 principles of non violence. It’s obvious that saving Democratic is really and truly up to WE THE PEOPLE! 👍💙💕

A new book entitled TWIST by Colum McCann, though a novel, describes how underground ocean cables, owned by Meta, Google, Microsoft, etc has the potential to become the next type of tech colonialism. Another tip of info to be aware of!

Elon Musk might be cutting government spending, but not on his own projects — billions in extra federal money is likely headed toward SpaceX, thanks to policy changes that will make the world’s richest man even richer. A NYT investigation examines the Trump-era shift toward SpaceX nyti.ms/4kPE8VJ

Ten years ago Kyiv and Moscow first negotiated a ceasefire to end fighting in Ukraine’s east, in a series of deals known as the Minsk Agreements. The deals, quickly violated by Russian-backed militants, categorically failed to bring lasting peace.

While Supreme Court's John Roberts and Donald Trump often converge on legal goals, sharp divergences are emerging, a constitutional law expert says, and through the president's executive orders flurry, he's 'proceeding as if legal constraints don't matter' reut.rs/4c8wX7j

Why? Why? Do Democrats elected officials refuse to hold a daily briefings covered by both corporate news, PBS News, and BBC, etc. Even R Murdoch should cover such briefings !

Alas, Trump's poorly educated and illiterate MAGA supporters despite the hardships inflicted on them by Trump will remain loyal to him. Sick

No lies detected from Jamie Raskin! 👇 #TraitorTrump

Nora Brown brought The Unicorn 🎶 to the Kennedy Center where she sang the song in ADDITION to pointing out that tiny t is dismantling the EDUCATION Dept along with medical agencies, Justice ETC. We are in such trouble that requires ALL of us to step up ~ every one of us!

April 5 will be We the People resisting this coup attempt ~ come on y’all- let’s save our democracy working together! There couldn’t be better words than WE THE PEOPLE!

@democracywriter.bsky.social Finally! One government agency resisted the Doge group coming to invade. I’m uncertain which agency but they called the cops to stop the Doge invasion! Fill me in if you followed this event!

Wow! In Hungary thousands and thousands of people gathered in protest of Viktor Orban’s destruction of free press, his takeover of their government! We can, here in the USA - We the People- can show like resistance to budding fascism! 🇺🇸💕

The Trump administration posted a racist executive order on social media basically stating Americans must speak English. This comes after three young men wearing MAGA hats attacked two men for speaking Spanish. The EO will embolden more MAGA to become vigilantes and act out on this issue.

Taking even just the simplest action for good is contagious! Be sure to have courage and commitment! Call an elected official from state or Federal and express your thoughts and opinions! Or join a street protest! Mingling with others is refreshing!

People showing up for Dem!

One of my mom’s favorite quotes ! This is what democracy looks like: The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little! Franklin D Roosevelt

Trump would not be able to get away with dismantling our form of democracy if the GOP Federally elected So-called leaders would do their work to save our three branches. I believe the GOP is even more at fault than their dear leader.

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.” Alexander Vindman open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

It’s sickening to hear Trump politicize the airline tragedy at National Airport last night! The loss of life was so very tragic and although Trump READ every word of what someone wrote for him as sympathy for the victims and families, he speculated on the cause of the accident! Disgusting!

It’s quite helpful to follow David Sirota and The Lever!

"The sudden freeze of U.S. aid has caused harm to independent Ukrainian journalism on par with the COVID-19 pandemic and the onset of Russia’s full-scale war," writes the Kyiv Independent’s chief editor, Olga Rudenko, in her recent op-ed.

The Tribune spoke with Nicole Hallett, a clinical law professor at the University of Chicago, and Diana Rashid, a managing attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center, to learn more about what happens after someone is arrested by ICE in Illinois.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's order to freeze federal grants, preventing the order from taking effect.

Hey to all. !! Read John Cleese and England Raises its Threat Level ! We all need clever funny laughs AND the liquids that we shouldn’t drink (liver!) 👍💕💙💙💙💙

@reginapetrecca.bsky.social Your posts remind us to pay close attention to all the chipping away of Democracy which we are now witnessing! And to take the simplest of actions: write! write to elected officials - especially to. GOP -ers who have hopes of moving up in politics!

Trump refers to DOGE as a government agency! It is simply NOT that! It’s an Advisory Committee and as such, there are rules to be followed. The most important of required rules is representation of all viewpoints! As of now, billionaires only are on deck. We need a true ode to the common man!

The Deep State isn’t being removed, it’s being installed!

How sad beyond words are the comments about California from John Barrasso and Tommy Tuberville! And in addition-now the excessive money in getting Hegspeth in charge of our military! It’s making me literally sick!

Already the banks are panting for no regulations on how much capital they need on hand. Regulations placed in effect after the 2008 recession! An example of Fed Reserve unwilling to exercise their clout, was Silicon Valley who didn’t meet standards and failed in 2023!
