"YouGov polling with both CBS and The Economist found Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada are unpopular, too, and that under one-quarter of those polled want billionaire Elon Musk to have a lot of influence on the Trump administration."
What the polls can tell us about the early days of Trump's second term: From the Politics Desk
Plus, the legal fights over Trump's agenda are ramping up.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

This is a good example of how Dems suck a messaging. At a glance, it looks like Jon is replying "True" to Musk's post to defend NPR. To me, this needs to read, "NO!!! KEEP NPR - DEFUND SPACEX!!!"

Here are three ideas for today. 1. Praise the members of congress who are standing up to fascism. (Call, email, tweet, etc.) 2. If you’re concerned about your personal information exposed in the treasury breach, freeze your credit on all three credit bureaus. 3. Be generous with someone today. ✌🏼💗

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

They are reversing everything the US stands for as a Constitutional democracy - under the guise of "bringing down the price of eggs." We all have free choice. We are all personally accountable to act within our own values. If you ever believed in social justice, now is the time to live that value.
A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI. So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

That's the point. They didn't "insist" - or even "comply." Liars lie. If something seems off to you, or doesn't make sense, they're lying. Because they're liars.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.
The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

If you wrote, "Democrats are the opposition party and they are not opposing anything," and "Viche Dems," then we mos def disagree on some stuff. I apologize for mistaking you for one of the "indivisible" folk, tho.

Oh, give me just a little break. You call yourself "indivisible," but Trump has us quite divided. People are only now beginning to speak with a unified voice. People took to the streets to demand *specific* action from Congress. Only NOW can Congress act on our behalf. THAT is how democracy WORKS.

Good luck to you, sir. I wish you well. And as much as I want to go there with you, I CANNOT. We can't drive forward by looking in the rear view mirror. That is MAGA-style, regressive stuff. What's happening now is REAL! We gotta face forward and frickin' DEAL with this mess - as it is.

Yes, Karyn, I do think there's "gonna be a country in two years." Why? Because we're not going to lay down and give up less than a month into the fight - that's why! Chin up, girl. Quit being a downer. Join with others - and work together, please.

Stop! There is enough anti-Muslim hate coming from the MAGAs! The pain of what Trump plans to do now in Gaza is obvious to everyone - it doesn't need to be overstated in a big, blue meme. Besides, blaming doesn't solve anything! The election is over. We are HERE now.

Thank you. People have been saying that what's happening is a coup, but I didn't think it was since Trump was elected. But what you're saying is that, once in power in one branch, a small number of elites is seizing ALL the power in all branches.

There are a BILLION bots on this platform active right now. Their message is Democrats are terrible. Democracy is gone, so there is no point in voting. All is lost. BULLSHIT! Get off your ass. Special elections are on April 1st in Florida's 1st and 6th district. That's 9 weeks.
I have reached 450,000 people today. My message is this. There is one way back to normalcy, and that way is the Democratic Party. We have special elections coming up in a just a few months and a massive backlash election that restores our government in 21 months. Ride Or Die 💙 ☠️ 💙☠️💙

Dems, please - stay grounded. Remember, we are not fighting each other. Stay focused on working together. Set aside any lesser disagreements to fight the bigger fight. They want us bickering among ourselves - because it takes the focus off of THEM!!! Take a deep breath. Touch grass. Return focused.
