“Everyone deserves basic health and safety, and this is a resounding win to protect the people held at the detention center. The state has the right to inspect private detention facilities like the one run by GEO and investigate complaints of unsafe and unsanitary conditions.” - AG Nick Brown

For most of our American history, Congress set up agencies and commissions to deal with complex and specialized questions. We made them expert, independent and often bipartisan. Every single one of the fifty states has done the same at some point. It worked. 🧵

WATCH: Chris Hayes looks at how Elon Musk’s assault on USAID became one of DOGE’s most devastating legacies—and why Musk is now trying to rewrite the record.

good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands

Bravo, sir

Pundits: "The left doesn't know how to make appeals with patriotism!" Protestor at Delaney Hall waving an American flag:

Wait, why the fuck is Popehat/@kenwhite.bsky.social suspended?

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

These images get at the problem for me. Tacky? Sure, but so is that red carpet, which precedes Trump. Tacky I can abide. What's grotesque here is the gleeful sadism, the brutality, the misogyny, the monarchism, the cult of personality, the corruption, the cruel, loveless gaze.

Donald Trump is a fascist, the leader of the pedophile protection party, and a disgrace to the nation.

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

I’m calling on the General Assembly to vote to reconvene for special session to impeach or censure the Governor. Governor Polis commuted Tina Peters’ sentence after the legislative session, likely in an effort to avoid accountability for misconduct. The people of Colorado demand accountability.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person.

Impeach and remove Polis. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

Many Republicans in congress don't want power. They want a position at court.

Dear @nytimes.com : would it be possible not to have popups asking whether I want a family subscription, or telling me I should be reading your paper in the app? I get the need for advertising, but as a subscriber, I think that after clicking NO maybe twenty times, these ads should get the message.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Rick Steves on the Millionaires' Tax: "A new tax on fat paychecks like mine was just signed into law in my home state — and I like it... And — for those of us with a heart for the public good — it’s simply common sense." It's time to change our upside-down tax system.

A crucial part of Project 2029 has to be performative trials and draconian sentencing for Trump administration officials up and down the organizational ladder. Treat all of them like Timothy McVeigh so that the gravity of their criminality and treason become enduring images in American history.

So they want to send ICE to the polls? the House's own website shows that 18 USC § 592 expressly bars troops at polling places w/ a 5 year penalty and and ban on holding public office. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...

I wrote about why I left academia last summer, why I left America – and why I left Substack. I still believe we should do what we can to decrease our dependence on U.S. tech feudalists. But six months later, it’s also clear that leaving Substack has made this journey more difficult. Trade-offs.

SATURDAY MARCH 20: Two #SingingResistance opportunities in West Seattle with help you prepare for No Kings 3! Bring family, friends, and if you have a musical instrument in addition to your voice bring that too:

I find it deeply un-American that individuals in unmarked cars get out in masks and pluck people off the streets. When I reflect on the hundreds of bills this session, I am especially grateful that Sen. Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing masks reached my desk.

Oh my.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Elementary school me (when we learned basic American civics) just exploded. I'm in tiny bloody bits and pieces all over the room.

I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
