BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

Sen. Jim Banks on the job held by a fired federal worker he mocked: "It was a woke job." Then in the next breath Banks admits he doesn't know what his job actually was.

I know many of you already know this, but it bears repeating: Trump is using the state to carry out one of the most white supremacist projects of our time—gutting DEI, deporting brown folks without due process, backing white Afrikaner grievance, etc. We must name it. Capitulation is complicity.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

popular.infoHow the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting AmericansThe Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Unfortunately, a legal right is of no consequence if mechanisms to enforce it are either dissolved or withheld. Part of sending people to El Salvador is to remove them from the Constitution's protective umbrella, as they are non-citizens no longer residing in this country.

President Fertilizer

Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

1/ Musk says he’s dead but he isn’t. Social Security clawed back 2 months of benefits & haven’t sent more. “He called Social Security 2 or 3 times a day for two weeks, with each call put on hold and then eventually disconnected.” Finally he went down in person www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Tonight, Trump is addressing the nation in front of Congress. He’s going to try to mislead us about what he and Republicans have been doing. Won’t let him get away with this. Going to be posting FACTS throughout the night. Stay tuned.

Marble Mouth McConnell has already been begging Premier Doug Ford to reconsider pulling the Kentucky bourbon and whiskey off of Canadian shelves. As of today, all American alcohol/wine/beer have been pulled from the shelves, and no more will be ordered.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
