Liveblog - Weekend Wrap up: March 23, 2025

Today’s blog will consist of both news and a free chat of sorts. As usual, post the headlines we may have missed and feel free to chit and chat and enjoy one another’s company! 

Today in History:

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

March 23, 2010: President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. Vice President Biden said, “It’s a big fucking deal,” and he wasn’t wrong.None of this would’ve happened without the badass leadership of Pelosi, Reid, and grassroots Dems.I miss these folks…

***Enjoy it while it lasts, MAGAts. After the Brownshirts gut it, y’all are SOL!:

Elbows Up!

Resistance/Saving Democracy:

For the McMAGAts Who Do Not Know How DEI (the new ‘N’ word) Works:

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.🧵

The Fascist Felon, Elmo, DOGEbags, and their Brownshirts:

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan.No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, calls dad ‘pathetic man-child’

Elon Musk’s family life is complicated, but his estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson is explaining their rift in a new wide-ranging interview.

Wilson, 20, slammed her biological father — the world’s richest person — in a new Teen Vogue profile published Thursday, saying the X owner is a “pathetic man child.”

“The Nazi salute (expletive) was insane. Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was,” she said. Wilson said Musk’s viral gesture at President Donald Trump’s inauguration festivities “was definitely a Nazi salute. The crowd is equally to blame, and I feel like people are not talking about that. That crowd should be denounced.”

How about instead of doing a hundred Fox interviews this week, maybe Bondi could show up at the next hearing and tell this to the judge directly.

More people voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him.

JD Vance Polling Worse Than Kamala Harris Was: ‘Perhaps Worse Than Any New VP in the History of Polling’

It’s not true that nobody at all likes Vice President JD Vance, so he can hold off on the limbless invertebrate snacks for now, but he is struggling to keep his favorability ratings above water in the first few months of his term. Polls show Vance’s popularity ranking lower than his predecessor, former Vice President Kamala Harris — and pretty much every other vice president in modern polling history.

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur.Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.
