You can’t vote out Trump in the midterms, but you can vote out the people who enable him.

Congratulations to the entire crew behind the successful launch of NASA’s Artemis II!

To the more than 500 companies and 16,000 people representing California as the largest state-level contributor in this mission: You make California and the nation proud.

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

The brave men and women who serve our nation deserve to be led by people who know what they are doing.

“Market manipulation and insider trading from those in the know has reached such a staggering volume that it should be included among the war crimes Trump & Co. will someday hopefully be charged with - if there’s any justice left in the world when this awful nightmare ends.”

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

lmao

Oral argument begins in a few minutes in a case involving the RNC’s attempt to override state laws that allow a grace period for the arrival of mail-in ballots. It’s a bait and switch designed to disqualify masses of mailed ballots.

Last week this is how Republicans talked about mail delivery.

A huge day for voting rights tomorrow: SCOTUS hears an RNC case that could invalidate hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots this November.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

Market manipulation. The timing of Trump threats (usually Friday nights) then backing down (usually early Monday mornings) on war and tariffs tell you all you need to know.

This is why California Dems are freaking the F out. Chad Bianco is polling number 2 in the latest poll for the governor’s race.

Not only has he seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election, he’s an election denier and had ties to the Oath Keepers, which he acknowledged years ago.

California sheriff defends his past membership in the extremist Oath Keepers militia In an interview, Sheriff Chad Bianco sought to minimize his past affiliation with the group, 17 members of which have been indicted in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

🚨CA Beware🚨
Chad Bianco, a Riverside sheriff, is running for CA Governor. He's a "former😒" Oath Keeper. Do not let him past the primaries

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

Fortunately some of us are….

Senate Republicans and Trump want to make it harder for you to vote.

We're pushing back.

Tune in as I hold the Senate floor to BLOCK the SAVE Act and protect our most sacred constitutional right. The right to vote.

In bid for voter data, Trump’s DOJ lays groundwork to undermine confidence in midterms • Utah News Dispatch The U.S. Department of Justice is linking its bid seeking personal voter data to whether the midterm elections will be fair and secure.

The U.S. Department of Justice has begun connecting its push to obtain personal data on millions of voters to whether the upcoming midterm elections will be fair and secure, laying the groundwork for the Trump administration to potentially cast doubt on the results.

It's only Monday morning but we already have this week's winner of the Internet. Hearty congrats to @unaha-closp.bsky.social. 👏👏👏

This is absolutely fucking brilliant.

Afghan asylum-seeker dies in ICE custody, US advocacy group says Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal is at least the 12th person to die ​in ICE detention this year.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

Legalize comedy!!!!!

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Map, from polarwx.com, of ECMWF model's forecast for 500mb heights later this week and their rank relative to the historical record for March over North America. A giant pink blob is visible over western North America, indicating an absurdly large area of record-breaking 500mb GPH.

The seasonal anomalousness, as well sheer spatial extent, of upcoming record-shattering Western U.S. heatwave is genuinely startling. This will be associated with, by far, the strongest ridge ever observed during (at least) any Nov-Mar month. #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #NVwx #UTwx #COwx

There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
