Brilliant! #Democrats have paddles like Olympic Judges to #FactCheck #TrumpLies!

Signs read: “False”, “Save Medicaid”, “Musk Steals”, “Protect Medicaid”, “Protect Veterans” & more.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus [#CBC], including Illinois Rep #LaurenUnderwood, plan to wear black to the speech to "capture the party's somber mood," according to her & to reports from Axios.

Other members are planning to wear blue & yellow to show solidarity with #Ukraine, just days after #Trump ordered a pause on military #aid to the country.

Tonight, at #Trump’s speech, members of the #Democratic #Women’s Caucus — will be dressed in a bright pink.

New Mexico Rep Teresa Leger Fernández, chair for the 96-member caucus, explained to Time that the pink is meant to “signal our protest of Trump’s policies which are negatively impacting women & families.”

[it’s also the color of the #WomensMarch]

All of #Trump supporters' reasons for supporting Trump are invalidated by his positions on #Israel.
"He puts America first" he puts Israel first.
"He's making peace" he's assisting Israel's mass murder and tyranny.
"He supports free speech" but not speech which criticizes Israel.

The #Trump admin has been conducting secret talks with the militant #Palestinian group #Hamas to try to secure the release of US #hostages seized in #Israel & held in #Gaza, 2 sources briefed said.

#US hostage affairs envoy Adam Boehler has authority to talk directly w/Hamas, the WH said when asked about the discussions, which run counter to longstanding #policy against negotiating w/groups that the US has designated as #terrorist organizations.

At least my representative walked out.

My senators only issued statements.

From Judy Chu's website FB feed: On top of the countless lies, to have an ethnic slur hurled in the middle of the address to the American people is inexcusable.

We cannot treat this behavior as normal. I left the President's Joint Address to Congress.

Trump’s Trade Paradox
He rails against U.S. trade deficits but pushes policies that deepen vulnerability. Tariffs on surplus countries (like China) spark retaliation, hitting U.S. farmers/industries. Meanwhile, America’s import reliance leaves it exposed to supply chaos + higher costs.

Fixing deficits requires investing in competitiveness—not just shooting yourself (and everyone else) in the foot.

Am I wrong? Can an economist comment please?

Die #USA wollen die #Ukraine ja mit allen Mitteln vernichten. Hauptsache, er hat seine Ruhe und keine Probleme mehr mit #Putin.

Nicht nur das fehlende Geld, sondern auch keine Geheimdienstinformationen, wie #Trump angeordnet hat. Die sowieso erfasst werden.

Das ist pure Erpressung und ein Geschenk für #Russland.

Now that a lot of cruelties and infringements have been committed, it's a decisive moment in the #US: either the public #resistance intensifies, gets coverage, and gains traction.

Or the next phase commences, the glossing over, Leni Riefenstahl style: look how successful we've been within such a short time; glorious times ahead; don't listen to unamerican bad-mouthing.

Once this level has been reached, the majority will give in, shut up, and afterwards say: we didn't want this.

Greetings from Germany.

Sieht so aus, als gäbe es bald wieder gut bezahlte Jobs in der Rüstungsindustrie. Gab ja letztens in einer der ÖR Nacht-Nachrichten eine Propagandawerbeplatz, wo Auszubildende sich begeistert darüber ausließen, wie toll es dort ist Munition zu lackieren.

Mir ist bewusst, dass wir in diesen Zeiten ausreichend unsere Gesellschaft schützen müssen. Aber könnten wir diese Glorifizierung weglassen?

"What we’re witnessing isn’t just another political cycle or policy debate — it’s an organized effort to destroy the very systems that have made American innovation possible. Whether this is by design, or by incompetence, doesn’t much matter (though it’s likely a combination of both). Unlike typical policy fights where we can disagree on the details while working within the system, this attack aims to demolish the system itself.

"Remember all those tech CEOs who thought they could control Trump? All those VCs who figured they could profit from chaos? All those business leaders who decided that “woke institutions” were a bigger threat than authoritarian power grabs? They’re learning a very expensive lesson about the difference between creative destruction and just plain destruction."

"The US dollar may lose its traditional safe-haven status as global markets adjust to a new geopolitical order, according to Deutsche Bank AG.

“We do not write this lightly. But the speed and scale of global shifts is so rapid that this needs to be acknowledged as a possibility, [...]
“It is hard to over-estimate the scale of change taking place in global economic and geopolitical relations in a matter of days.”"

#UnpopularOpinion -- As a former #GreenPartyUSA member, I think you all should really, really think about your choice for presidential candidates. #JillStein's coziness with #Putin is / was common knowledge. And considering what is going on with #USPol and #Trump doing Putin's bidding when it comes to #Ukraine, I'm thinking that a lot of Greens just got fooled. And yeah, take a look at Stein's portfolio and question why she didn't DIVEST! Just saying...


So, I'm looking over #LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism and we're pretty much there here in the good ol' #USA. All 14 of them! And the sad part is that some voters sat out the 2024 US elections, or voted for #Trump, even though #Project2025 was public knowledge. Like I said to a fella who was mocking my protest signs as BS, "You'll find out soon enough." I'm pretty sure he was a veteran. Yup. Thanks for NOT defending #Democracy by voting for #Fascism. #USPol

#JustinTrudeau starts his response to #Trump's #tariffs with a very polite insult, and not so polite description of #Putin.

"The United States launched a trade war against Canada. Their closest partner and ally, their closest friend.

"At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.

"Make that make sense.

"Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight,"

Arab countries adopted a $53B #Gaza reconstruction plan presented by #Egypt at a summit of Arab leaders in Cairo.

The acceptance of the proposal was announced by Egypt's President Sisi after the closing of the summit in Cairo, reported Reuters.

The Egyptian plan avoids the resettlement of #Palestinians, unlike Trump's proposal to develop a Middle East Riviera in Gaza.

Trump doesn't have the clout he thought he did with Sisi...

Democrats stand united; cloture vote FAILS in Senate


Holy shit, team. That thing I told you to do? Last week? The anti-trans bill, and the attempt to cut off debate, and how we had to stop it here or we wouldn’t, because then it could pass with only Republican votes so we needed to stop it here and now?

It fucken

WORKED

The vote got called this afternoon. Move to cloture FAILED 51-45, and not one single Democrat crossed the line.

Note how if this were a straight-up 50%+1 vote, it would’ve passed. That’s why we needed to win it here, where they needed 60 votes.

They might try again later but right now this is a big win. Drop ’em a note of thanks, team. Shouldn’t be required, but give it a moment anyway. This one can just be email, if that’s easier for you.

Not one crossed over.

Not one.

Good job.

Doing some back-of-the-envelope research into best way Australia can punch the US in the dick.

Cars. Trucks. Phones. Computers. Autoparts.

They're the big imports to the tune of about $40 billion.

So boycott Holden, Tesla, Ford, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Apple, Nvidia, Unisys etc

And while you're at it, chuck on Amazon, Disney, Netflix, Apple TV, Paramount, Xbox, Steam, Epic, Blizzard, Electronic Arts, Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), X, Bluesky, McDonalds and KFC just for shits and giggles.

And, of course, cancel your holiday.

Polish democracy hero #Wałęsa says #Trump’s treatment of #Zelenskyy filled him with ‘horror’

Updated 10:06 AM EST, March 3, 2025

WARSAW, #Poland (AP) — "Poland’s democracy hero #LechWałęsa and dozens of other former political prisoners in Poland have written a letter to President Donald Trump, telling him that his treatment of Ukraine’s president at the Oval Office last week filled them 'with horror and distaste.'

"Wałęsa, who served as president soon after Poland embraced democracy, and the others tell Trump that they found it offensive that he expected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to show respect and gratitude for the material assistance the United States has given Ukraine as it defends itself against #Russia’s invasion.

"'Gratitude is due to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who shed blood in defense of the values of the free world. They are the ones who have been dying on the front lines,' they say.

"The White House has demanded that Zelenskyy show more openness to potential concessions in order to bring the fighting to an end, but Zelenskyy has been resistant, saying Monday that any deal with Russia is still 'very, very far away,' while seeking greater security guarantees from Washington.

"Wałęsa posted the letter on Facebook on Monday along with a photograph of himself with Trump. It was signed by himself and 38 other former democracy activists who were imprisoned by Poland’s Moscow-backed communist regime before 1989. Among the others who signed are Adam Michnik, Bogdan Lis, Seweryn Blumsztajn and Władysław Frasyniuk."
