If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
1/ Nightly Synopsis
Today in American politics: cruelty, cowardice—and a spark of hope.
MAGA Republicans passed a budget slashing Medicaid & gutting universal school meals. Because in their world, starving kids & denying healthcare is fine as long as you’re not rich.
It’s cruelty by design.
Why haven’t we heard from any Democrats or Republicans calling out the continued use of Nazi ideology by politicians? They censured Rep Al Green over being loud but aren’t bothered over hate speech?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
@housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
Let’s be crystal clear:
Comparing @schumer.senate.gov — the highest-ranking Jewish lawmaker in Congress with family murdered in the Holocaust — to Hitler isn’t just vile, it’s antisemitic filth.
This isn’t “free speech.” It’s hate speech.
Shame on anyone defending it!

Lawrence O'Donnell Calls Out Trump For The Biggest Peacetime Tax Increase In History https://twp.ai/4imAEC
No tariffs on Russia. Weird.
It never was about reducing the debt. Trump and Elon Musk are firing working class Americans from their jobs to give tax cuts to billionaires — which is exactly what my song "New Religion" is about. These motherfuckers are plundering and pillaging America to line their pockets.
He said he was going to make things cheaper and now he’s saying “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is facing scrutiny over his handling of details of a military strike, brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed.
Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.
In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”
Trump claims that he hasn’t been briefed on 4 US soldiers killed in Lithuania.
You all should know that Trump is being kept out of the loop and is not running the country.
Biden would have called immediately & comforted families. Trump does not give a shit.

Once again I ask:
Do you get it yet, law firms?
These orders aren’t isolated threats to Covington or Perkins or Jenner.
They’re existential threats to the independence of the legal profession.
You’re a fool if you think you won’t be next.
Say something. Do something.
This is indeed the feeling of many of my colleagues at the DoD.
MAGA trying to flip my state of NJ red.
Trump appoints Alina Habba as interim US attorney for District of New Jersey
The truth is hiding in plain sight. We’re being taken over by an oligarchy dictatorship. But the answer is in front of us. We fight. And we don’t stop until we win.
Closing your wallet is the strongest form of protest. The more people that do it the more people learn how easy and powerful it is. Again, one day, close your wallet. March 31st, one week from today.

This is important to repost.
When you really distill down what's going on here, the president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. The constitutional crisis is here. ICYMI @corbinkbarthold.bsky.social:
Republicans must pay a political price for enabling Musk and Trump. Vote them out.
In one of the latest episodes of “Trump’s Cognitive Decline,” a clearly impaired Donald appears utterly astonished that his 19-year old son can turn on a laptop computer after it’s been turned off.
According to Donald, his son Barron has an "unbelievable aptitude in technology.”
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Yeah just like he returned Abortions back to the states and look how well that turned out.
Our children's education shouldn't be a political football, changing with every election cycle. We need consistent standards that ensure every child, regardless of location, has access to a quality education and the opportunity to succeed.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Uses Local Police to Seize Independent Nonprofit...
The U.S. Institute of Peace is not a federal agency or located in a federal building.
That didn’t stop DOGE from taking over.

Fear grows among US’s 390,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants: ‘So many policies have changed.’
Those newly arrived and those who have lived in the US for decades worry as Trump vows to deport Chinese nationals.

Invoking a 1798 law to deport foreign nationals to El Salvador, where they'll be incarcerated without due process, is a gross abuse of power. The Constitution doesn't allow it.
1. You are a traitor and a dictator
2. Your dementia is out of control
3. You are hurting all of us with your lawlessness
