Just a reminder. Executive Orders are memos to the Executive Branch. They are not laws.
Congress makes laws.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he fully appreciated Trump's obsession with taking Greenland, because Trump thinks increasingly just the same way he does. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Putin says US push for Greenland rooted in history, vows to uphold Russian interest in the Arctic
“It can look surprising only at first glance and it would be wrong to believe that this is some sort of extravagant talk by the current U.S. administration,” the Russian president said.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism.
That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

Dropkick Murphys’ lead singer, Ken Casey: Dropkick Murphys has always been about standing with your friends, your family, and the things you believe in.
Trump is the exact opposite of everything we sing about. He’s turned on America’s friends and allies—he’s a rat and a coward.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Leavitt takes great pleasure in insulting long-standing US allies every single day. Does she know who said "Lafayette, nous sommes là!" or the context of those remarks? Does she know that without the French, America would have remained a British colony? What an embarrassment this woman is.

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.
Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

Oh what a surprise.
Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.
