AGAIN: There is no way to get the massive billionaire tax cuts they want and cut $1.5 trillion from the budget without taking away people’s health care. Basic math.

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

"Any security professional - military, government, other than otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information." - Pete Hegseth on Hillary Clinton in 2016

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology. The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them very visible to the public.

On March 10, 1913, Harriet Tubman passed, but escaping slavery in 1849 to fighting oppression and leading countless to freedom through the Underground Railroad has ensured her legacy of resistance endures. 163 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

Folks are frustrated with Dems in Congress right now. Here’s my solution - get the hell out of DC and hold some hearings. I love town halls, but we need to focus on people right now. Have folks come testify about how these cuts are affecting them. Get local media there. Make it real.

Hear me out: Trump and Putin want Zelensky out. Then a right leaning, NATO hating, Russia loving candidate can...will...be installed as the Ukrainian President. Lindsay Graham mentioned it. Trump mentioned it. Most did not grab onto this talking point. This is their endgame.
