VIDEO OF THE DAY: Top Trump official makes nightmare public confession
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a BILLIONAIRE mind you, literally said out loud on a podcast for other people to hear that if tens of millions of people's monthly Social Security checks suddenly went missing it wouldn't be a big deal, and that only "fraudsters" and thieves would actually complain. Seriously. "Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month,” the MAGA vampire said on the All-In podcast. "My mother-in-law is 94. She wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't. She would think something got messed up and she'll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming, yelling, and complaining. The easiest way to find a fraudster is to stop payments and listen," the billionaire continued. "Whoever screamed is the one stealing." This is a real statement from the actual secretary of the Department of Commerce. The disdain these people have for the very voters who put them in charge is beyond measure.

Homeland Security revokes temporary status for 532,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans
Half a million people's lives were suddenly thrown into chaos as Trump revoked the legal protections for — and this needs to be clear — REFUGEES who came here legally under the humanitarian parole program. They followed all the rules, did everything right, but still are getting deported because their skin is the wrong color. More needless, vicious cruelty that spits in the face of everything our nation used to stand for.

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?
Trump White House could let federal agents search homes without warrants under Alien Enemies Act
Lawyers for Donald Trump’s administration are considering whether his invocation of an 18th century wartime law allows federal law enforcement officers to enter homes without a warrant. The MAGA cult leader has deployed the Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport, without due process, alleged members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, designated a foreign terrorist organization. Officials, however, have admitted that many of the immigrants flown to a prison in El Salvador last weekend don't have criminal records. Trump is relying on the law for only the fourth time in US history. It was most recently used to detain Japanese Americans, including US citizens, during the Second World War. Warrantless home invasions... What could possibly go horribly wrong?

Bernie Sanders and AOC headline rally of 30,000 people, call out absent GOP congressman
Don't look now, but something is *happening* in this country. Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew a record crowd — larger than any of Bernie's presidential runs — at their latest stop in Colorado on their "Fight the Oligarchy" tour. The second of two stops in the Boulder State, their first engagement was a town hall in the district of GOP Rep. Gabe Evans, who won't hold a town hall of his own because he knows that he'll just get yelled at by angry constituents. “You know, I will say, usually your first three months on a new job, you are on your best behavior and working your hardest. If this is the best that you all are getting, I think you deserve better!" said AOC to Evans' constituents. She's right, and this is EXACTLY what Democrats need to be doing. Go to GOP districts. Engage with voters. Call out their absent reps. Fight for every vote! Let's GO!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Rep. Jasmine Crockett of "terrorism" for participating in online Tesla Takedown event
MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon dolt who has repeatedly praised Jan. 6 MAGA rioters, celebrated them as little more than martyred tourists, and successfully fought for their across-the-board pardons, has accused Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of orchestrating "political violence and terrorism" because she participated in a public livestream event to discuss non-violent political protests against Elon Musk's electric vehicle behemoth. "A Member of Congress is organizing political violence and terrorism," Greene wrote on nüTwitter on Thursday without a shred of irony or self-awareness. Funny how that works.
Columbia bows to Trump administration, hoping to restore federal funding
Yet another of our elite institutions has decided that caving to fascism is the best course of action, rather than standing up for its students, our rights, and its distinguished history of protest. Columbia's interim President Katrina Armstrong announced she will ban masks on campus, with exemptions for health or religious reasons, train three-dozen campus police officers with authority to arrest people, and appoint a new senior vice provost who will conduct a "thorough review" of the Middle East studies department (meaning banning all consideration for Palestinian human rights), all in hopes that Trump will restore $400 million in yanked federal funding. Columbia does not need $400 million; its endowment, which itself operates as a slush fund for the rich to dodge taxes on, is valued at $14.8 BILLION. But it is clearly more important to the president, trustees, and its donors that the once vaunted Ivy League university align itself unequivocally with the Trump regime and all the fascistic oppression that accompanies it.

This was all *extremely* preventable
Doom and doomer
