Weekend "No Kings" Music

 

Bette Midler gives an updated version of Woody's Guthrie's classic song"All You Fascists Bound To Lose" in  anticipation of tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. Belt it, Bette!

Senate Passes DHS Bill Less ICE & CBP Funds (UPDATED)

 

In an overnight session last night, the Senate passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that provides funds for the TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA through September. The bill excluded funds for ICE and Border Patrol, although they have sufficient funds from the Malignant Fascist's Big Ugly Bill from last year to support them.  Dems were unable to get Republicans to include guardrails for domestic terrorist ICE and Border Patrol, such as wearing IDs, removing masks, and getting judicial warrants before entering a private home. 

The bill now moves to the House, where it's unclear whether it will pass in its current form.  However, the House will be under great pressure from the public to pass the bill, to relieve those parts of Government that the public relies on.  Whether the reckless and volatile MF will sign the bill is also not a certainty, since he's been demanding that his election-rigging, ass-saving "SAVE Act" pass before any other legislation.  Dems now need to raise public awareness that these past few weeks of turmoil were solely caused by Republican intransigence, since this was the Dems proposal from the start to separate ICE and Border Patrol funding in the bill.

A separate funding bill for ICE and Border Patrol is apparently going to be part of a reconciliation package that only requires a majority of the Senate to pass, meaning there will be reduced levers that Dems can use to introduce reforms to those rogue agencies. Stay tuned.

UPDATE:  The Republican crackpots in the House are rejecting the Senate- passed bill.  More chaos and pain for America.  Remember them in November!

"No Kings" Protests Tomorrow!

 

We hope you have a plan to attend one of the thousands of local "No Kings" protests across the nation and the world tomorrow, March 18.  Go with friends, neighbors, and family to make it more memorable.  Here's where you can find more information (and again, though it's encouraged for people to sign up, it's not necessary in order to attend an event!).

From McPaper USA Today:

With more than 3,100 events planned nationwide to protest President Donald Trump's actions and policies, organizers expect the No Kings protests to draw millions of Americans into the streets March 28.

Two earlier No Kings protests brought out huge crowds, and organizers hope this event will be among the largest days of protest in U.S. history.

The ACLU estimated that the No Kings protests in initial June 2025 drew about 5 million people to 1,800 events, and the October 2025 demonstrations drew 7 million to 2,500 events. The ACLU's estimate for the June 2025 protests matched the findings of Harvard University's Crowd Counting Consortium.

Indivisible cofounder Leah Greenberg said organizers expect people to protest for a variety of reasons − from immigration enforcement to calls for impeachment. The important thing is people come out and build connections, she said. Indivisible is one of the organizers.

"We have people who are going to come out because they are furious about what is being done to their neighbors and attacks on immigrants. We have people who are going to come out because they are deeply concerned about the Trump administration's attacks on civil rights. We have people who are going to come out because they are horrified by the war," Greenberg said. "Rather than trying to make a specific set of policy demands or a specific policy platform, we want to mass together."...

Engage on social media, or spread the word in whatever way you choose.  We can make this the largest day of protest in American history tomorrow and let all of America and the world know that tyrants aren't welcome here.

"Suburbs Embracing Anti-Trump Resistance"

 

The sheer malevolent incompetence of the Malignant Fascist's chaotic, democracy-and-economy destroying, Epstein-Trump file diversionary-war- waging regime has broken through to some of the least likely people, who are making their voices heard:

A few years ago, Allison Posner was barely involved in politics.

Now the 42-year-old mother of two from Maplewood, New Jersey, hands out food and diapers to immigrant families outside a nearby detention facility. She waves signs on a highway overpass in between school pickups and orthodontist appointments. And this weekend, she’ll lead a “No Kings” protest march across this affluent town alongside her husband, her children and thousands of others who are convinced that President Donald Trump represents a direct threat to American democracy.

“The people in the suburbs are definitely radicalizing,” said Posner, a freelance actor.

A growing faction of concerned citizens living in suburban communities across the United States — places once known for political moderation or even conservatism — are increasingly positioned on the front lines of the anti-Trump resistance. More than a year into the Republican president’s second term, the so-called “soccer moms” are becoming bona fide activists taking to their well-manicured streets to fight Trump and his allies. 

The leftward lurch could cost Republicans control of Congress for the president’s final two years in office. It could also reshape the Democratic Party by elevating a fresh crop of fiery progressive candidates emboldened to push back against the Trump administration more aggressively than the establishment may prefer.

Indivisible, the activist organization spearheading the third round of No Kings protests this weekend, said roughly two-thirds of more than 3,000 planned demonstrations will be held outside urban areas. Overall, more than 9 million people are expected to turn out nationwide for what leaders predict will be the largest single day of protesting in U.S. history.

“We’re going to be everywhere,” said Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin.

Organizers said sign-ups have been especially enthusiastic in suburban areas with high-profile congressional races like Scottsdale, Arizona; Langhorne, Pennsylvania; East Cobb, Georgia; and here in northern New Jersey’s 11th district, which holds a special election April 7... (our emphasis)

Of course, resistance to the Malignant Fascist must delivered in its most tangible form -- a wipeout of MAGAts in the mid- term elections.  The broader and deeper the Republican defeat, the less likely the MF and his spineless Congressional trolls would attempt an electoral coup by crying fraud and "cancelling" the results.  A popular vote smackdown of the Republicans will make them think twice about that lurch across the Rubicon.

Showing up at your local No Kings protest on Saturday is a necessary part of taking the fight to the MF and his un-American MAGA movement.

ICE Barbie's Career Tumble

 

Cruelly incompetent former Homeland Security Secretary and world-class cosplayer Kristi "ICE Barbie" Noem, fired by the erratic and delusional Malignant Fascist for, in part, spending some $220 million to promote herself and for not clearly denying her rumored extramarital affair with temperamental hack Corey Lewandowski before Congress, has moved on to a new job, but it's one that knocks her down a few pegs:

"Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has become the subject of fresh ridicule after new reports revealed who will be her boss in her new role as part of President Donald Trump's administration.

On Tuesday, March 24, Olivia Gazis of CBS News reported that 'in her capacity as Special Envoy to Shield of the Americas, Kristi Noem will report directly to Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau, per a State Department official.' For those unaware, Trump fired Noem earlier this month from her position as Homeland Security Secretary and replaced her with Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK).

Meanwhile, she was moved to a new role called the Special Envoy for the 'Shield of the Americas' initiative. The move, which followed the intense scrutiny over Noem's $220 million expenditure on a commercial promoting border security, was widely regarded by many critics as a humiliating blow to the former governor of South Dakota's political career."  (our emphasis)

Lesson learned: never outdo the MF in terms of promoting yourself. She went from being a Cabinet member to reporting to a Deputy Secretary, which in bureaucratic terms is a career ender. For someone who once vied for the Vice President spot on the MF's 2024 ticket, it's quite a downward trajectory. The duo might still find some grift to latch onto that will keep them together and on the fringes of Trumpworld (he seems to still be at her side), but this demotion was certainly a message from the MF to ICE Barbie to move on...and out.

BONUS: ICE Barbie and her "friend" should be prepared for hearings investigating their tenure at DHS.

Pic And Headine Of The Day

 

Daily Kos this morning:

From the Daily Kos article:

Melania Trump’s newest fake job started this week when she hosted the “Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit.” The new initiative is supposed to be For The Children, but looks more like an international sales conference for President Donald Trump’s favorite technology companies. 

But on Wednesday, things got, uh, a little weird when the first lady entered with “Figure 03,” an AI robot. 

Sure, why not? It’s not like Melania has any real obligations at this summit, so yeah, whatever, bring a robot friend.  [snip]

This summit was supposed to be all about how the children are our future, and Melania and the random collection of countries and companies in attendance would help teach them well and let them lead the way. But it isn’t at all clear why that required a robot. [snip]

While there is no need at all for the robot to be here as Melania’s plus-one, the Trump administration actually does have a specific reason for letting the robot take a stroll. You will not be surprised to learn it has nothing to do with schoolchildren. 

Donald Trump is currently preparing an executive order on robotics. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is already meeting with CEOs of robotics companies, and the Department of Transportation is spinning up a robotics working group. Those robotics companies are angling for tax breaks and sweet, sweet government contracts with your tax dollars—hence, the very special robot appearance...

So, the usual pay-to-play angle that's a hallmark of this most corrupt regime in American  history.

Well, it also gave us this picture and headline, so that's something, too.

BONUS:  It also gave Gov. Gavin Newsom something, too:

QOTD: The Great Seductions

 

An excerpt from an interview / conversation with retired General Stanley McChrystal, discussing how the delusional and dishonest Malignant Fascist's deadly misadventure in Iran may prove to be highly resistant to our -- and Israel's -- bombing campaign:

"There are three great seductions that happen to American administrations and to the military.

The first is the idea of covert action. A new president comes in, and he’s told by the intelligence community, 'We can create this great effect and it will be covert. No one will ever know who did it, and it’ll just be a good outcome.' And in my experience, it never stays covert and it rarely works. But it’s seductive because it seems like an easy approach to a knotty problem.

The second seduction, which I lived as a part of, is the surgical Special Operations raid. That is probably epitomized by the Maduro raid. I would argue that we demonstrated extraordinary competence that night, but not much changed. I don’t think that we actually demonstrated the ability to change the facts on the ground to any extent.

Which gets to the third great seduction, and that’s air power. We all love air power. In World War II, we went into the war with the Douhet theory, that air power, the bomber, will always get through, and therefore air power will be dominant.

It was certainly very, very contributory, but it was never dominant. [snip]

I think, in this case, we again fell for the seduction that if we bomb key targets, we will produce the outcome we want — but the outcome’s in the minds of the people. And unless you’re going to kill all the people, you may not affect that outcome.

We may be at a point — you used the word 'quagmire' in your article — but we may be at a point where we’ve run into a country that has an extraordinary capacity to be bombed."  (our emphasis)

The draft dodging MF has no appreciation for military strategy, and far less for the men and women who serve and who have died in combat for the U.S.  It's no wonder that he and his ignorant regime see this war as a video game, with lots of things exploding on TV.  He's likely to soon find out, as McChrystal says, that Iran has an extraordinary capacity to be bombed, and a long and vengeful memory.

Mid-Week Song

 

Muse -- formed in Devon, England, in the mid-90s -- has won Grammys, Brit Awards and other accolades ever since, on the way to selling over 30 million records. Their sound's been described as a fusion of alternative rock, progressive rock, and electronica, but it's more than that.  Fronted by singer and guitarist Matt Bellamy, the group has a new album coming out in June, and they released this single "Be With You" from the album a few days ago.  Enjoy.

Trump's Motive Behind Doc Theft Indicated

 

When the mentally ill and seditious Malignant Fascist left the White House after his humiliating loss to former President Biden in 2020, he took with him boxes of material including highly classified documents that he stored at Mar-a-Lardo in such places as a bathroom and his private office.  After refusing to return them, he was indicted.  Unfortunately, due to the foot dragging timidity of then Attorney General Merrick Garland, the case was brought midway through Biden's term and was assigned to biased Judge Aileen Cannon, the MF's faithful appointee to the bench, who eventually dragged out and killed the case. 

Now, it's been disclosed that the stolen documents contained information that the MF considered important for his business.  From MS Now reporters Carol Leonnig and Jacqueline Alemany:

"Special counsel Jack Smith gathered evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump took many top-secret documents that related to his worldwide business interests, and investigators considered this a likely motive for Trump concealing them at his Florida club after he left the White House, according to newly released case records. [snip]

Trump’s reason for taking hundreds of pages of classified documents when he left office in January 2021 — and then concealing them when the Justice Department subpoenaed him for their return in May 2022 — has been one of the larger mysteries of the case. FBI agents conducting an unannounced search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 discovered hundreds more pages of top-secret records that Trump and his lawyers had failed to return to the government after claiming they had fully returned all classified materials.

In a January 2023 progress memo reviewed by MS NOW, Smith’s office discussed the possible motive after the FBI discovered that Trump held onto many documents related to his businesses.

'Trump possessed classified documents pertinent to his business interests — establishing a motive for retaining them,' according to a January 2023 memo from Smith’s office tracking progress in their documents and election interference investigations.  'We must have those documents.'”

In a Tuesday letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin insisted that Trump’s Justice Department has sought to cover up both the details of Trump’s 'hoarding' of classified government secrets and storage of them in his Mar-a-Lago club’s showers and closets that put national security at risk, and also the clues as to Trump’s motives for doing so."(our emphasis)

It should come as no surprise that the MF would use classified information to further his business interests, perhaps to the point of selling the information for a commercial advantage or just plain cash / bitcoin. It's a pattern that's remained unchanged in his second corrupt term.

Should Dems retake the House (and hopefully the Senate) in November, this development needs to be pursued with the Department of Justice (for Trump) by Rep. Raskin's committee under threat of subpoena and obstruction of justice.

"No Kings" Protest March 28

 

Please make a note to peacefully protest the Malignant Fascist and his attempts to destroy our democracy on this Saturday, March 28, at a No Kings event.  

Go here to find a site near you and times, plus more information and actions you can get involved in.  You don't need to sign up for anything if you don't want to -- you can just show up at the time and place of your choosing.  There are protests planned in other countries, too, if you're traveling or are an ex-pat.

From the No Kings website:

We are showing up together again on March 28.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us, the people.

As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite.

There were over 7 million people at the last No Kings protests in June 2025, and organizers are expecting to exceed that number on Saturday. Let's make sure we do! 

We'll post another reminder later in the week. 

BONUS: The MF is tanking. We need to keep driving these numbers down:
