This article will be Exhibit A in the lawsuit, I assume.

Shot and chaser.

It was the legal heart of his first impeachment. He is doing it again, to his own citizens, sorted by how they voted, and in doing so, punishing millions of Americans, in California alone, who actually voted for him.

Ooof… CPAC These folks are lost forever. The good news is, we don’t need Trump’s ride-or-die base to wake up to win elections. They can stay dazed and confused. What matters is that Democrats, and the Independents who voted for Trump, get it right this time.

Please don't repost or quote the vile, racist things that President Trump is saying among Somalia and its people. Remember that 75% of "look at this idiot" is "look at this." You're just helping him spread the vile, racist crap he says and it sinks into your subconscious.

This is just an incredible visual model of what being on X is like

My son, with a bachelor's in writing and a paralegal certificate, can't find a job in DC to save his life. It's bad.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

Holy malowley

Have they figured out how to blame the problems in the Strait of Hormuz on trans people yet?

Oh boy, is this cool.

"The best example of the news media deciding somebody is unfit for office, because of their mental fitness or unfitness, is how they treated Biden in 2024. Biden was old and rational. Right now, Trump is old and irrational, but he’s not getting the same kind of treatment." — @markjacob.bsky.social

I've been off of social media for more than a week. The first three days were tough because I kept wanting to check my accounts, but since then my desire to log in as almost entirely faded. It's fantastic. Maybe I'll check in once a day? Maybe less?

Btw, the names of the two DOGE staffers who were deposed and are on camera casually saying that reducing a deficit was more important than human lives, even though DOGE actually helped increase that deficit, are Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh. We’re not saying their names enough.

Internal messages from Live Nation reveal two execs talking about “robbing [fans] blind.” “These people are so stupid. I almost feel bad taking advantage of them,” says the head of ticketing. www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

You are being manipulated into spreading propaganda that will keep people home during the midterms. You are actively engaging in voter suppression when you share this garbage. Please stop.

Watch for the country to eventually emerge from this horrifically expensive Iran war (cost measured lives, suffering, and dollars), when Republicans will call for even deeper cuts to education, health care, social security, and other programs that help the Americans who paid for the war.

Wow I can really see why it’s so important to stay on twitter

God, this is sad. He attended a "military-style boarding school." Then got four draft deferments, followed by a medical exemption for bone spurs. Title 10 makes it illegal for him to wear a military uniform.

"We must be willing to criticize Israel as though antisemitism does not exist... We must be willing to name and fight antisemitism as though the state of Israel does not exist." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

You must understand. Survivors have been telling us for decades now that it did not start with concentration camps. It started with hate speech, speech that was sanctioned by the state, speech that issued by the state. It started with speech and was followed by increasingly discriminatory laws.

NEW: A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill requiring warrants for FBI searches of Americans' communications under FISA, aligning federal law w/ a 2025 ruling that found the practice unconstitutional. It would also ban the government from buying Americans' private data from data brokers.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

God, the idiocy is at record levels. I apologize to the FBI professionals who are forced to endure this.

Another word you might use for it is "looting". "This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

It would be hilarious if he's just guessing size 14 for everyone.

Share of election spending by billionaires before Citizens United: 0.3% Share of election spending by billionaires in 2024: 19% It is not a coincidence that we're about to get our first trillionaire while working people struggle to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare.

🚨 I just submitted my testimony. It's not showing up yet, but the vast majority of the testimony on the site is opposed, which is **very bad.** Please submit testimony on CT HB 5044 - how to do so is at the end of the 🧵 below. Here is what I wrote, if you want to crib (See below):

zurl.co/mQyx5 "Historians may well mark February 28, 2026 as an important turning point -- the day that the modern era of Congressional oversight aimed at checking executive branch overreach in foreign affairs ended."

"The idea is that a distinct natl identity emerged sometime between the early colonial period & mid-19th century & this identity, preserved through bloodlines, deserves special privilege today. One far-right writer said: “Heritage American is more palatable to the public than ‘white.’”

Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire: Democrats: 28 Republicans: 0 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

Starbucks spent $240 million on union busting last year. If they'd chosen not to fight unionization, every worker could have gotten $630 instead. If their CEO made less than $96 million a year (the avg worker makes $15k), the company could give workers all of what they've asked for.

"This is a time of growth for our institution, and we will continue to press forward with a momentum matched only by that of the hippopotamus as it rampaged through the theater department last Thursday."

Did Trump know what the Strait of Hormuz was before last week?

I'm not sure how we amend our democracy without getting rid of Citizens United.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public. Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkCz...

It did not go unnoticed that Kennedy pronounces it "blooskee"

Because of course he did, which is why we weren't supposed to hand this data over to anyone, least of all DOGE

NEW: When the FBI subpoenaed documents from a legislative audit of the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County, Arizona, it opened another front in President Donald Trump’s attack on free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

It has been a looooooooong time since conservatives were honestly interested in fiscal conservatism.

This is deeply weird and pitiful.
