Tomorrow on my live webcast “History Matters:”
The Fourth Branch: The Press
During the Founding, a free press was seen as a fourth branch of government.
We need to talk.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.
Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.
I’m in Louisiana and a beloved meteorologist in my area did the exact same thing earlier this week. “Not meant to be political” and the MAGAs of course had to sound off in the comments
Yes
Picture of a Ukrainian soldier with mud on his face with a Time-magazine style caption that reads “Person of the Year, Ukrainian Defenders.”
Mindset reset:
Right now, brave Ukrainians are defending their land & loved ones, at the cost of their sanity, limbs & lives. It’s an existential fight for their democracy & way of life.
If the Russians lose, they go home. If the Ukrainians lose, they will be overrun & destroyed.

Hey all, we've gotten a *lot* of tips since this post. Keep 'em coming.
The deep-dive investigations we tend to do will often take longer to source, report, corroborate, fact-check and publish, but our reporters are hard at work following up on leads you’ve sent.
Thanks for your trust in us.
Last night, I wrote in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, about Trump's new coup. I base my analysis on the facts and the law, not hyperbole. We are at a serious tipping point. I hope you'll subscribe if you feel the same way, or if you just want to learn more. joycevance.substack.com
TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

“It is a coup. I’m a historian and I would use that word here.”

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.
The word for this is "coup."
NEW: in the latest FORK email, they admit that the government could shut down March 14 and you might not get paid. They promise to give you back pay, though. LOL 👀
During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves.

NEW: Federal workers are starting to receive a copy of the court's restraining order against the Trump administration barring the regime from freezing federal grants and financial assistance. Excellent work, and worth the read:
Eggs UP
Taxes UP
Gas UP
RX drugs UP
Dow Jones DOWN
Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, ACA, VA all on the chopping block.
Trump was never going to make anyone in America's life easier. In just 2 weeks he's made life harder for everyone except his billionaire friends.
This is a word of warning to all of us. Left, right, or anything else.
Constantly reevaluating and learning.
A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
The silence of most Republican members of Congress on the Trump tariffs tells you two things:
1. They know it is a terrible idea.
2. They are so afraid of Trump that they won’t say anything even though they know how much it is going to hurt their constituents and the country.
Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass
It’s a coup! Please read or listen to Robert Hubbell’s newsletter!

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.
Good point.
“Tariff” won’t mean much to lots of people.
“Import tax” is better.
Or Trump tax.
