I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Step Down Schumer

WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Not a protest-it's reform
BOLD WINNING LEADERSHIP
No more weak, defensive politics
BOTTOM-UP REFORM
Power starts locally-senate, statehouses, city councils
YEAR-ROUND ORGANIZING
Permanent voter engagement, not just election cycles
TAKE BACK THE NARRATIVE
A people-driven agenda, not D.C. consultants
STRONGER MESSAGING
No more cautious, poll-tested politics - real conversations, real actions
A PARTY THAT FIGHTS
Take on obstruction, corruption, and media bias- without hesitation

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

Harvard University announced a temporary hiring freeze Monday, citing “substantial financial uncertainties” as colleges and universities face widespread scrutiny of their federal funds by Trump. Last year, Harvard's endowment had $53.2 billion, so this is big. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Pritzker is stepping up! Newsom is stepping up too! Blue states! Hold the line! HOLD!

California Dept of education responds to Executive order on what can be taught in schools. President Trump signed an EO today that does nothing but require the Secretary of education to determine what federal funding can legally be rescinded as a penalty for teaching curricula that trump finds objectionable. We can give the administration that answer right now. Nothing . It is against federal law for the WH to dictate what teachers can and cannot teach by threatening to defund essential services.
