YOU CAN REPOST IT AS COMMENT in the DIARY
WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING in the DIARY that you LIKE
EVERY PERSON WHO COMMENTS WILL GET A CRITTER
THE PERSON who MAKES the FIRST COMMENT WILL GET TWO CRITTERS
(Or NOT As the CASE MAY BE)
YOU WILL FIND in the DIARIES a LOT of POLITICS
=====================
======================
Need a good word to brighten your Friday? Look in on AOC, who’s doing town halls with Bernie (what a dream team!)
x AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

They’re not just preaching to the choir. They’re seeking out Republicans who might be ready to rethink their allegiance.
x We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

(Click on the post for a scan of that crowd.)

It’s not just AOC and Bernie, either. Tim Walz speaks out.
x Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

And JB Pritzker

Tesla troubles! The Cyber trucks are recalled because they’re coming unglued.
The Tesla was kicked out of the Vancouver auto show.
And Germany is done with Tesla.
x You think it’s an accident Tesla sales are down almost 80% in Germany? They know what his salute meant. — The Lincoln Project (@lincolnproject.us) March 19, 2025 at 2:15 PM
Tesla stock is losing value fast. But this $1.4B isn’t stock loss. It’s just lost. Misplaced by the accounting department. Sort of like, “Now where did I put my car keys?” Happens to us all, right?
x It looks like Tesla needs DOGE's services to find fraud and waste Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing

Elon Musk may have been briefed on how the US would address war with China. (He has security clearance.)
x Reading through this article on Musk/China War plan ends up being a list of the almost unimaginable level of corruption spinning around Musk combined with the fact that he's been giving carte blanche to decide on which weapons systems live or die. Insanity. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

Josh Marshall’s link to the big NYT article is not paywalled. It addresses arguments about whether Musk actually will be briefed or whether that’s “fake news,” and some of the reasons he might be briefed: DOGE could be looking at scrapping for cost savings military equipment that would be needed, or Musk might be aiming to increase US military investment in Space X.

Venezuelans are being deported to El Salvador for being members of a vicious, government controlled gang. Or are they just innocent young immigrants with tats? Some tourists have been caught up in ICE sweeps too. Now countries are warning their tourists to consider carefully whether to travel to the US, especially if the gender listed on the passport is X rather than M/F.
A growing number of U.S. allies have issued travel warnings this week advising caution for those looking to travel to America. This includes Germany, the U.K., Denmark and Finland, and while none of the advisories is a formal warning against travel, the guidance highlights the increasing concern about immigration enforcement and the unpredictability of border entry, even for those with valid travel documents.

A new ruling blocks DOGE from having your personal Social Security information. Dudek retaliates.
x The Trump regime is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a court ruling blocking DOGE from further infiltrating the agency. If your Social Security check is late or doesn't arrive at all, remember who is to blame.

Tell me again about how Republicans understand working people and Democrats don’t.
x WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.
