defiance to Trump ahead of 2026 election
Posted By: NorthernDog, 3/23/2025 9:33:41 AM
ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff came home to Atlanta Saturday to rally core Democrats desperate for effective action now against President Donald Trump’s administration. “Georgia will bow to no king!” Ossoff proclaimed at the end of a 20-minute speech that labeled Trump as corrupt, out of touch with the problems of regular people, and “trying to poison our democracy with fear and intimidation.” “Atlanta, this is not a drill. Atlanta, this is not a bad dream,” said Ossoff, who could be the Republicans’ No. 1 Democratic target in the 2026 elections. “As citizens, this is the test of our

The ever-volatile stock market bounced Monday as investors once again tilted toward the notion President Donald Trump’s tariffs won’t be quite as bad as first thought, with the latest rally led by the big technology stocks worst hit by the tariff-related market pullback, including Tesla, which had its best day on Wall Street in more than four months. The S&P 500 rose 1.7% by late Monday afternoon, hitting its highest level since March 7. The U.S. equity benchmark is now up 4% from its six-month intraday low set March 13, though it remains 6% below its all-time high recorded in
After Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed the size of their recent political rally in Denver, Colorado, a data expert and entrepreneur raised doubts about the size and supposed grassroots nature of the crowd. (Snip) According to GPS, there were only 20,189 devices at the rally, meaning the crowd size appeared to be smaller than what Sanders had claimed. Seruga said that “84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests,” while “31% had attended over 20.” He added that beyond GPS data, he looked

WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role.
Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor
Democrats overwhelmingly selected former Vice President Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate in a Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came in second with 10% support. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all
When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) took the stage at the annual Gridiron Club dinner Saturday night, he mockingly made mention of the thing Democrats have been buzzing about for months: his presidential ambitions. “If I actually wanted to be president, I wouldn’t do any of this,” Moore said. “Instead, I would take my case directly to the people who are in charge of our democracy: the Kremlin.” (Snip) “Wes Moore is the Captain America of Democratic politics,” said Jamal Simmons, a prominent party strategist who worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a veteran, an athlete and a
Congressional Democrats — who were hoping to blast Republicans over budget cuts — instead took incoming from their exasperated constituents when they traveled home to host town halls. In Arizona, Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly were confronted at a joint forum Monday by an attendee demanding to know if they “would support removing” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Oregon, an audience member told Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Janelle Bynum on Sunday that he is “so p----- off right now at the leadership in the United States Senate that they are not willing to step up and fight.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a lengthy call Tuesday to an immediate pause in strikes against energy and infrastructure targets in the Ukraine war, but the Russian leader stopped short of backing a broader 30-day pause in fighting that the U.S. administration is pressing for. The White House described it as the first step in a “movement to peace” it hopes will eventually include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and a full and lasting end to the fighting. The White House added negotiations would “begin immediately” in the Middle East on
Senate Democrats are bracing for a painful post-mortem as they try to avoid a September rerun of their latest government funding defeat. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, and nine of his members helped get a House GOP-authored government funding bill to the finish line, saying a vote to advance legislation they loathed was the least bad option. The alternative, they argued, was allowing a shutdown that could empower President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to accelerate their slashing of the federal bureaucracy. (Snip) Schumer’s strategy exposed major fissures within the party, marking for many of his members a disappointing
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) for criticizing recent Democratic party tactics. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper confronted Crockett about the widely-mocked “Choose Your Fighter” TikTok video — which was slammed by Fetterman as “bizarre.” (Snip) “He’s not the one to talk about anything,” Crockett said. “I mean, this is a guy that doesn’t seemingly want to own a suit. own a suit, I’m not really sure. But I don’t show up in hoodies when I’m going on the floor.”
The Texas congresswoman defended the video — in which six
Hunter’s Wonderful Life

A ne’er do well (or, is that a bon vivant?), a Yale law graduate who was booted from the Navy for failing a cocaine test, bedded his recently widowed sister-in-law, sold childish splashes of paint masquerading as art for millions of dollars, denied paternity and support for his illegitimate daughter, and received $30 million by trading on his father’s stature and willingness to break bread with his marks, Hunter Biden apparently blew it all on sex, drugs, and more sex. In a new court filing, Hunter lamented that his art sales are down 98%, no one will hire him to
In a dramatic break with much of their party, ten Senate Democrats voted alongside Republicans on Friday to pass a six-month funding bill, averting a government shutdown with just hours to spare. The move defied a majority of the chamber's Democrats who opposed the measure, underscoring deep divisions over how to confront President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress. Ahead of the vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada were among the first Democrats to publicly back the Republican funding bill, arguing that a shutdown would

Wait, The Bidens Want to Return to Politics?

I’m not sure Jill Biden gets it, and this is a political initiative by Mrs. Biden because the Democrats are done with this man. The elderly crust of the Democratic Party has yet to figure out that the base wants to turn the page on the Clintons and the Bidens—which have become two loser organizations. Hillary Clinton couldn’t do it, and Joe Biden is half brain-dead. Lady MacBeth wants back in on public life, and the family is reportedly offering services to rebuild the party. It’s not been well-received (via NBC News): Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary
“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said during an appearance on The David Pakman Show, making it clear that state police will not cooperate.
“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” Hochul said, explaining that they will cooperate only when there is a warrant or someone is on the terrorism watch list.
“Where we will cooperate — and I did this even under the Biden administration — if you have a warrant, or you know, someone’s on a terrorism watch list or committing crimes in their home country, or committing crimes here, that’s a different category,
Washington — Top Trump officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance allegedly discussed the details of a highly sensitive operation to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen in a group chat that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Goldberg wrote on Monday.
As a Cabinet meeting unfolded at the White House on Monday afternoon, Goldberg published a piece detailing how he was added to the chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal earlier this month by an account sharing the name of White House national security adviser Mike Waltz. Later, Goldberg said an account named "Pete Hegseth"
Former President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, broke cover to hobnob with celebs in the Big Apple for the opening night of “Othello” on Broadway — just days after Democrats ripped his apparent push to re-enter the party spotlight.
The 82-year-old former president was among the VIPs in attendance Sunday as two of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, took to the stage in the timeless Shakespeare tragedy.
Dressed in a black tuxedo, the 46th prez gave a quick wave as he hopped out of his motorcade and was ushered into the Barrymore Theatre in Midtown Manhattan ahead of the star-studded performance.
Gay Nightclub Bans All MAGA-Related Attire

A popular LGBTQ nightclub in Sacramento, California, is prohibiting patrons who wear MAGA-related attire from entering the establishment.
Badlands, in the city’s Lavender Heights district, announced the policy on social media. Management claimed they were motivated to impose the ban after a patron wore a MAGA hat while in the bar, leading some patrons to complain that they were made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
“At Badlands Sacramento, we are committed to creating a space where the LGBTQ+ community and our allies feel safe, welcomed, and respected,” TJ Bruce, the bar’s owner, wrote in a social media post. “Recently, a guest entered the bar wearing MAGA attire,
Sparks flew during a closely-watched federal appeals court hearing Monday afternoon — with a Barack Obama-appointed judge tearing into the Trump administration’s plans to mass-deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Judge Patricia Millett, a member of the bench since 2013, dominated much of the questioning — grilling a Justice Department lawyer over due process concerns for the 260 purported illegal migrants shipped to a notorious El Salvador prison earlier this month under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
“There were planeloads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people,” Millett exclaimed at one point. “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act

interview as ‘puff piece’: ‘Second-rate
movie star’ 15 replies
President Trump has criticized “second-rate movie star” George Clooney’s appearance on “60 Minutes,” dismissing the interview as a “total puff piece.”
On Sunday, the 2-time Oscar winner appeared on the news program to promote his Broadway debut — which sees him portray renowned journalist Edward R. Murrow in “Good Night and Good Luck.”
Clooney, 63, also spoke about his decision to drop his support for former president Joe Biden, before taking aim at the Trump administration. (Photo) But the interview appeared to leave a bad taste in Trump’s mouth, as the POTUS took to Truth Social to set the record straight on his thoughts about the Hollywood actor.
Tren de Aragua migrants must be allowed to appeal their deportations ordered under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, Judge James Boasberg ruled Monday.
The ruling is likely to be appealed — in part, because President Donald Trump’s deputies say the judiciary has no role when the President invokes the 1798 act to deport aliens amid an invasion or a “predatory incursion” of the United States.
“This is unconstitutional,” responded Stephen Miller, the President’s deputy chief of staff.
The judge’s decision did not challenge the 1798 law itself but argued that migrants can claim they are not covered
A former officer in the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) says the number of illegal aliens fleeing the United States over the northern border into Canada has surged due to President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
And an actual Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel smuggler confirmed business is booming in the opposite direction as illegals, through his assistance, are self-deporting to the Great White North.
The news comes from a "60 Minutes Overtime" segment airing Sunday night.
Kelly Sundberg, who spent 15 years with the CBSA and now researches border security as a professor at Mount Royal University in Calgary, spoke to the CBS show. He fretted that Trump's policies have already increased

New York— During the first Trump administration, the biggest concern for many journalists was labels. Would they, or their news outlet, be called “fake news” or an “enemy of the people” by a president and his supporters?
They now face a more assertive President Donald Trump. In two months, a blitz of action by the nation’s new administration — Trump, chapter two — has journalists on their heels.
Lawsuits. A newly aggressive Federal Communications Commission. An effort to control the press corps that covers the president, prompting legal action by The Associated Press. A gutted Voice of America. Public data stripped from websites. And attacks, amplified anew.
It's getting to the point that whenever we read or hear of another racist incident, such as a noose, racist graffiti, or threatening note, we sit back and wait for it to be revealed as a hoax. Case in point: In Allentown, Pennsylvania, a city employee, LaTarsha Brown, claimed to have found a noose on her desk.
Now she's in trouble because she allegedly put it there and made a false report.
Allentown officials announced charges Monday against a city employee, alleging that she made a false police report and tampered with evidence after reporting she found a noose on her desk in January.
