Turnout in some counties has utterly collapsed compared to the March first round — one rural county I’m looking at went from 1300 to 200 votes cast.

California mourns the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Three Robert M. Marzan, a courageous Californian whose service to our nation was marked by honor and distinction.

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:

-42 consumer protection cases at CFPB
-20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ
-6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC
-7 crypto cases at SEC

It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Pentagon belatedly defends Driscoll against Loomer attacks The conservative activist said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been receptive to her concerns.

The Pentagon just publicly backed Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, almost a week after MAGA influencer Lara Loomer accused him of “promoting anti-Trump Leftists” on social media.

House Republicans just passed Trump's budget bill — which contains massive Medicaid cuts — over unified Democratic opposition.

🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Confused, she emailed Columbia’s office for international students the following day seeking guidance. An official informed her that the revocation would take effect only if she left the country and that she could remain in the United States to pursue her studies for the time being, according to emails reviewed by The Times.

next day, Ms. Srinivasan received an email from Columbia saying that homeland security had alerted the university that her visa had been revoked and her legal status in the country had been terminated. Because she had to immediately leave the United States, the email said, her enrollment at Columbia had been withdrawn and she had to vacate student housing.

This story about the Columbia urban planning student whose visa was revoked is worth reading in its entirety. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/n...

Just one thing that stood out is Columbia’s swift action and rapid eviction:

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy.

This is lower than any other point even in his first term.

PASS IT ON.

It certainly appears that Republicans are bracing for a Trump-induced recession (h/t @atrupar.com)

Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. 

There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121
