What@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social said the other day has stayed with me. The crap that we ignore because it’s constant & routine will be how history sees Trump. THOSE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. THE RAVINGS OF A LUNATIC. ALL IN WRITING. History will wonder how MAGA could possibly have existed. Twice.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

New in PN: Transgender athletes are a red herring "None of this discourse happened bc there is a new high-profile trans athlete in the news. Instead, Republicans are starting a culture war to rile up their base, co-opt Dems into agreeing with them, & push trans people out of public life altogether"

Transgender athletes are a red herring
It's a non-problem meant to exclude people from public life.

I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

The Platner campaign insisted it wasn’t trying to unduly influence the party, saying it was simply trying “to understand what this process would look like” as he weighs his next steps.

#SCOTUS just granted certiorari before judgment in *both* the Syria and Haiti Temporary Protected Status (TPS) cases—and will hear argument on the merits in April. But it *deferred* the Trump administration's stay applications in both cases, so the DHS actions in those cases remain blocked for now:
Consideration of the application for stay (25A952) presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is deferred. Consideration of the application for stay (25A999) presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is also deferred. The applications are also treated as petitions for a writ of certiorari before judgment (25-1083, 25-1084), and the petitions are granted. The cases are consolidated, and a total of one hour is allotted for oral argument. The cases will be heard during the second week of the April 2026 argument session. Petitioners’ brief on the merits, and any amicus curiae briefs in support or in support of neither party, are to be filed on or before Monday March 30, 2026. Respondents’ briefs on the merits and any amicus curiae briefs in support, are to be filed on or before Monday, April 13, 2026. The reply brief, if any, is to be filed on or before Monday, April 20, 2026.
