Took a trip to our favorite used bookstore yesterday and both little warriors have been reading their new books nonstop and I love it.

This kid fell asleep during an event at the White House, and Obama took a photo with him
Mostly the Pacific Ocean.
For Handmaid’s Tale fans.
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
It’s probably worth noting Facebook CEO Zuckerberg has been sitting for depositions over the last week in a lawsuit he’s named for settling with FTC for $5B to allegedly protect him personally. Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen were also deposed. All three have Trump 2.0’s ear.
The entire world seems to understand this except Trump, Vance, Musk, many Fox hosts, and their cult.
WIRED: “It’s a heist — real federal auditors are horrified by DOGE… DOGE has posted some of its ‘findings’ on its website, many of which have been revealed to be errors.” www.wired.com/story/federa...
"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View
"'When you take away that artificial line . . . and you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the United States, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that,' Trump boasted. 'Plus Greenland' Musk added." Know who they sound like?
He still hasn’t ended the war in 24 hours like he promised, but apparently he is setting up hockey games with the guy who is murdering civilians, torturing prisoners, and kidnapping children.
Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.
congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country
On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."
How is this prediction going so far?
🔥 Dear Democratic Party: Take off the fcking gloves. Do whatever the fck it takes to preserve the rule of law. Sincerely, 245 years of America. 🇺🇸 #DefendDemocracy #RuleOfLaw #TakeTheGlovesOff
"The presidents of the 60 schools...need to stand up together and say: Enough is enough. You simply can’t have free universities in a democratic society if the federal government can establish gratuitous, seemingly random restrictions on what they say and do." www.nydailynews.com/2025/03/11/u...
Breaking news: The United States launched a “decisive and powerful” attack on Houthi militants in Yemen, President Donald Trump said, an escalation against the Iranian-backed group that for months has besieged commercial maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
As Tesla's stock plummets, will taxpayers bail out Elon Musk, or will President Trump simply write him a check? Notably, Musk's companies have already benefited from over $38 billion in government support.
It is now 54 days after the date Trump repeatedly guaranteed he would have the war in Ukraine resolved with a peace agreement, and the fighting continues.
#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance OMG! Minnesota GOP is trying to make Trump Derangement Syndrome a mental illness. Can we sink any lower as a country? As our country burns, this is what they choose to focus on. Video credit: @aaronparnas.bsky.social
Last night Trump issued an executive order to dissolve “The Minority Business Development Agency”, among other things.
Head Start provides children in Duluth and throughout Minnesota with a strong foundation for success. The Trump Administration is putting this at risk and jeopardizing the future of our children. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/d...
Disliking legacy media is one thing. Letting a political leader use that distrust to silence outlets like CNN, MSNBC, or any major press is another. A free press—flawed as it may be—is a cornerstone of democracy. Once we let a leader decide who gets to speak, we all lose.
The Inverted Cluster B Leftism Doctrine
Do you see what I see @fetterman.senate.gov
So there is still no peace deal and Trump is left arguing whether Putin treated his envoy abysmally before rejecting it or just sent him packing after he was forced to listen to another 3-hour Putin lecture on his alternate version of European history.
Removing Trump is important. At the same time, dismantling SV and imprisoning Musk, Andreessen, Thiel, Zuck, Horowitz, and Sacks is far more important to the survival of the United States.
Bringing this back too.
Citizens United, which allowed unlimited corporate, interest-group, and individual spending on elections, triggered plenty of dire predictions. But even the most pessimistic among them fell short of imagining American reality today. ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social:
Why did Trump repeat Russian propaganda and lie about this? Why would he claim that a Ukrainian army in Kursk could only be saved from annihilation if Putin benevolently agreed to Trump’s request not to do so? Why is the US President deceiving Americans with Russian lies?
Trump is now begging the same world leaders he’s been threatening—asking them to send eggs to the U.S. to help bail him out as prices skyrocket.
If the Democratic & Republican parties were our boyfriends, we'd have dumped their lying, useless asses ages ago. But here we are, stuck in this toxic relationship, hoping they'll change while they gaslight us. New piece up: a satirical guide to our political heartbreak. Read it & weep (or laugh).
No kings. Not ever. youtu.be/VZk4hhSPMG0?...
Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.
Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness
Medicaid and CHIP are a huge support for struggling families in John Moolenaar's rural MI02 district. How could he vote to rip that support away from them and give it to billionaires like Elon Musk?
"I don't want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole" - Mark Kelly, Senator, Captain, Astronaut, Veteran, Patriot
Do you want America’s rivers to look like this? Trump does. His EPA is ripping away protections that keep our water clean, air safe, and communities healthy — all to make his billionaire buddies even richer.
Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk has wanted a government shutdown in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
this guy’s distinguishing quality is his boundless contempt for anyone who voices the slightest disagreement with him. you can see in his voice and mannerisms that he thinks he’s better than everyone around him. (which to my mind is just compensation for his palpable self-loathing)
Putin told Trump that he didn’t want Kellogg involved in any future peace talks because he had some sympathy for Ukraine’s position, so Trump dutifully sidelined him with this new job doing nothing.
“From the government’s perspective, this is a test case. They want to see how this goes because if it works out for them, it will be the template they apply for any other issue they ideologically disagree with.” – Ramzi Kassem, Mahmoud Khalil’s attorney
You're on your own. That's what MI04 Rep. Bill Huizenga is telling struggling constituents with his vote to slash funds for the only healthcare they can get - Medicaid and CHIP - so Musk and Bezos can get trillions in tax cuts.
This is Nazi talk
When MI09 Rep. Lisa McClain voted to fund billionaire tax cuts by slashing Medicaid and CHIP for her constituents, she endangered families, kids, seniors, and the disabled because she feared for her job more than she feared you.

🎯
Trump’s schemes for world domination include the invasion and annexation of Canada. This is not a drill. This is not a joke. This is an evil, megalomaniacal plot. Trump’s insistence that Canada is not a real country is eerily similar to Vladimir Putin’s arguments in the run-up to his invasion…
Five years after COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic, Donald Trump's botched response remains one of the worst moments our nation experienced during his first term in office. Here are other moments you've probably forgotten. https://youtu.be/gdstZDCCgAc?si=_RiziFsySPY9mjx7
JD Vance humiliates "his wife" on stage: "I think she's doing a great job as second lady of the United States and I'm so proud to have her back... by my side. Here's the thing. The cameras are all on; anything I say, no matter how crazy, she has to smile, laugh, and celebrate it."
Protesters in Bucharest, Romania were waving EU flags. Love to see it!
@governorwalz.mn.gov we are with you ✊🏻
I’d leave if I wasn’t caring for my 88 yo mom w dementia.
They have an unhealthy and bizarre obsession with Rosie O’Donnell.
I did not anticipate that so many leaders across industries and professions would allow fear to silence them. Even worse than their silence in the face of Trump’s actions against our democracy is their silent complicity as they watch their peers be targeted, humiliated and punished.
A predominantly Black town forms an armed protection group in response to a neo-Nazi rally. “I feel like it’s more secure now,” one woman said. “I know my son can walk home and be OK.”
I’m not leaving the Dem party. I’ve been here for 33 years. If guys like Schumer wanna vote with republicans, THEY can leave the Dem party and join the GOP.
Would he do this for Ford??
FK YES! 👏 👏👏 Agreed!!
Can we just get people to go have no agenda other than to preserve humanity and Americans equal rights. Is that so hard? Vote accordingly. Educate now and look at the official FEC and voting records. See who bought and sold. See who does not support your values. If you are a bigot well.. get help
Fighting for Palestine is not fighting for Hamas. As is being Jewish does not support genocide of Palestinians.
The Musk-rats are firing people who block their access to your private tax records. Data is money to the billionaire tech bros, so look out. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Please let us know when we are officially Russia. As a political journalist and advocate for good policy I am scared to use my voice for the first time in my life.
If you're in Illinois and: - Palestinian, or protesting the genocide in Occupied Palestine; or - trans, or protesting for trans rights; and you are arrested or discriminated against, I can represent you pro bono. Please email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. I will take as many cases as I can.
Trump has declared his first war, in behalf of Israel and Saudi Arabia, against the Houthi narco-terrorists in Yemen. In 2017, Trump's first war crime was also committed in Yemen where he had an entire family, primarily women and children including a US child, executed by US special forces.
I can’t think of anything that would hurt MAGA more. Especially their political pastors.
Can we be clear. These are RINOs. What it is ? MAGA. There is no rational GOP. Trump killed it. I welcome actual real live productive Republicans with the integrity to stand for Democracy and the Constitution. So stop calling them Republicans. It makes more sense that the Gulf of America bs.
"Republicans aren’t just closer in worldview to Turkey and Russia than they are to Democrats. The right-wing European parties are closer to Democrats than they are to Republicans." Quite the data point.
More Nazi talk from JD Vance
Hours after Donald Trump did a free commercial for Tesla on the White House lawn, Elon Musk reportedly announced plans to donate $100 million to a MAGA super PAC. Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.
this administration is speed running us into multiple disasters, some of which may be catastrophic
Tragic and heinous

BERNIE: “We have a health care crisis in this country. Americans are dying because they can't afford to see a doctor. We agreed on BIPARTISAN legislation to improve health care in America. And one Republican kills the bill. The American people are watching.”
They don’t want homeless to be housed. It helps them with private prisons to jail them.
The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.
they look at russia — a stagnant backwater — with envy
Was that Musks demand??
Every Democrat, including Warren and Sanders, voted to confirm this man.
This is an act that helps the authoritarian leaders of China, Russia, and other repressive states. It’s a profound betrayal of America.
