Republicans happily roll over as Trump declares himself king
Donald Trump called himself "THE KING" on Wednesday, and the rest of the White House was overjoyed to see the president was dropping the pretense of democracy. The MAGA cult leader announced in a post on Truth Social that his administration would challenge New York City’s recent policy installing congestion pricing, with an added rhetorical twist. "CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!" Trump wrote. While not exactly surprising given Donald's previous references to himself as the savior of the country, and his penchant for trolling, the president dubbing himself a "king" should theoretically rub everyone the wrong way — but not the fascists who work for him or carry his incredibly dirty water on right-wing airwaves.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: "Just hearing about it" Trump delivered damning news on Elon
The MAGA cult leader tossed up a signature word salad when confronted with the very clear and obvious conflicts of interest in letting Elon Musk oversee the very agencies he's bilking for billions in federal contracts. Donald laughably claimed he was "just hearing about it" for the first time but assured reporters he would never ever let Elon "partake" in any grifting. Did the president get into Phony Stark's ketamine stash or something? Who are we kidding?

Congress plots devastating clean energy rollback
EDF Action: Your ability to breathe clean air, drink clean water and afford clean energy is in jeopardy as some politicians have made it clear they are hell-bent on undoing all of the efforts made to create a healthy future for our families and communities. Will you add your name to tell Congress to protect our clean air and water from polluters?

Trump can't shut down birthright citizenship, federal appeals court rules
A US appeals court has denied Donald Trump’s bid to ignore the Constitution and unilaterally end automatic birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants born in the nation. The San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration’s request to pause a lower court judge's order halting the president’s executive order, which he signed when he took office a month ago. This is the first time an appellate court has addressed Trump's executive order regarding constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the fate of which may now ultimately be decided by the US Supreme Court.

Trump administration yanks CDC flu vaccine campaign
Sweet! As the nation continues grappling with the most severe flu season in seven years, the Trump-controlled Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is halting a successful flu vaccination campaign that juxtaposed images of wild animals, such as a lion, with cute counterparts, like a kitten, as an analogy for how immunization can help tame the flu. The move to axe the "Wild to Mild" flu vaccination campaign comes during anti-vaxx nut job Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s first full week on the job as head of Health and Human Services and in the midst of a brutal flu season that has seen influenza outpace COVID hospitalizations and deaths for the first time since the pandemic. Bang up job you're doing there, Bobby.

Republicans propose state registry to track pregnant women and flag those considered "at-risk" of seeking abortion services
Nope. Nothing deeply disturbing or downright fascistic about a central database — run by mostly men, of course — tracking the status of every pregnant woman in the state of Missouri. Are there any Republicans left who still pretend to believe in limited government and personal autonomy? Sure doesn't seem like it.

Kyiv’s White House wooing implodes as Zelenskyy tells the truth about Trump
All the effort Kyiv had expended in wooing the White House, combining flattery with bribery and a share of Ukraine’s mineral wealth, imploded in minutes when Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke the fundamental rule of the new global reality: he told the truth about Donald Trump. All America’s allies, the great majority of Republican leaders who have bowed to him, and a good number of his own Cabinet, know full well that the MAGA cult leader is trapped in a disinformation bubble, but Zelenskyy committed the unforgivable sin of saying it out loud at a press conference on Wednesday.

Elon Musk drops money bomb on critical state Supreme Court race
WisDems: There’s a must-win state Supreme Court election in Wisconsin on April 1st — and Elon Musk just dropped half a million dollars into attack ads in an attempt to steal back the court for Republicans and put anti-abortion extremist Brad Schimel into power. Wisconsin is one of the most important swing states in the country and the integrity of our future elections is at serious risk if the GOP retakes control of the state’s highest court. Will you make a donation to Wisconsin Democrats and help stop Elon from buying ANOTHER election with his dark money?

Former NFL punter dragged out of city council meeting by cops: "MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement"
Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe was removed from a California city council meeting by police after a self-described act of "civil disobedience" in which he trashed President Donald Trump and his supporters. While protesting a MAGA plaque installed near a city library, the former Minnesota Viking and UCLA Bruin laid into the wannabe dictator's “Make America Great Again” movement. "I’m gonna take my time to say what MAGA has stood for these past three weeks,” said Kluwe. "MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for resegregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. MAGA stands for firing the people overseeing our nuclear arsenal. MAGA stands for firing military veterans and those serving them at the VA, including canceling research on veteran suicide," the former punter added. "MAGA stands for cutting funds for education, including for disabled children. MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakenly anti-democracy, and most importantly, MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement." Kluwe then slightly elevated his voice to say, "You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is." He then began to approach the council, stating, "I will now engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience," and was swiftly arrested. Someone get this man a megaphone and a cookie.

Steve Bannon warns Republicans the "oligarchs" will abandon them: "They're with us — but only temporarily"
We can't believe we're saying this, but Steve Bannon is right. The oligarchs have exactly one, incredibly small and very exclusive group of people's interests in mind: their own.

Trump accuses federal workers of "playing golf" after he spent the last three weekdays at his golf courses
Every accusation is a confession.

Senate Democrats already regret voting for some Donald Trump Cabinet nominees
Uh, same. The real question is why ANY Democrat would take a MAGA-hat wearing sycophant at their word, under oath or otherwise, to do anything other than exactly what their autocratic cult leader wants.
