As I’ve been warning, America now has state-compromised media. When 60 Min or CNN is in trouble, we’re all in trouble. Trump has cracked the code in how to hurt the press. Free speech is now at risk. MAGA corporations must not control the news. Support independent media.

War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!

Jong-Fast: It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

And look, the bond market isn’t happy. It’s kind of the last thing we’ve got putting Trump in check. Foreign investors are asking: is U.S. credit even good anymore? Do we still want to be in this? And the bond market is freaked out—rightfully so. This budget shows a certain lack of responsibility. The Republican Party isn’t worried about the deficit, and they’re clearly not worried about starving children either.

Presiden Trump showed a screenshot of Reuters video taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans. https://t.co/fyl35zeYyG

It’s hard not to find this image — of a single Democratic senator standing alone in some empty room in a foreign country and defending the rule of law — very moving. There should have been more senators there with him, but kudos to Van Hollen.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off. https://t.co/ILKrYxCeLB

Read this. Spread it. Our nation does this in our name to a tourist--and much, much worse to immigrants without power or protection.

This. Trump simply does not think of trade as mutually beneficial. Ever. It's only suckers and wise guys.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Ossoff: Trump’s cabinet is worth like $60 billion. That’s not even including Elon. They are literally the elites they pretend to hate.

The President is not at his palace in Florida thinking about whether you can afford daycare or how to stop insurance companies from denying you claim or anything that matters to our daily lives.

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem, billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency.

The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result.
