Lexy’s statement on Trump sharing a call for Governor Kemp to be arrested.

I'm also gonna be waiting for the companion interview with CD-10 candidate Lexi Doherty to go along with what I'm sure will be a very rigorous hounding of nepobaby Houston Gaines. @lexydoherty.bsky.social AJC - do better.

"DRAIN THE SWAMP!" hollers the man I'm running to replace. But his crypto trading has led many to speculate that he's as swampy as it gets in Washington. It didn't take long in Washington for Congressman Collins to evolve into an apex swamp creature.

That rumbling heard in D.C. is not construction noise; it's the sound of every president since George Washington spinning in his grave.

New White House design just dropped.

Is the House…ever convening again?

Making Argentina Great Again. Indefensible.

Round 2 begins when Trump announces an Argentinian base for American soil. #ArgentinaFirst

Did y'all pinch zoom on this last year? Man, that fine print will get ya every time.

Halloween costume idea! Since Trump is far more generous to Argentinians than us Americans, try this on! Maybe you can fool him and get some of that $40 BILLION DOLLARS of our money he's giving away to them. #ArgentinaFirst

Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst

The President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau wants it known how damaging Trump's announcements are for the beef industry. With a vacant seat in the midterms, would you trust a Republican to fix the problem they've made?

Here's a cool hack! If you fool our American president into thinking you're Argentinian, maybe he'll care about you.

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project

So let me get this straight. Trump said that we're done giving out foreign aid. But now we're sending $40 billion to his foreign friend, the visibly unwell president of Argentina?

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR. And Trump's man goes on the rich folks' channel to propose some atomic nonsense on the moon. They could not be further out of touch with regular Americans.

It's time for everybody's favorite game! What foreign military from this region would YOU like Trump to place in your state?

Since old Mike Collins is running for GA Senate against @ossoff.bsky.social @lexydoherty.bsky.social is the Democrat running for the Congressional seat in GA's 10th district. Please share and get the word out if you can. If you can donate, anything helps. #lexydoherty #GA10

That fine print will always get ya.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Did anyone else catch the fine print?

Statement from Senator Elizabeth Warren: “Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families. The CFPB has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.”

Having access to our countries census data is incredibly important for anyone who cares about what is going on in this country. It’s easy to hide people if there is no public record of them.

The goal of our nation-leading Child Tax Credit is simple: lift kids out of poverty and get money back to working families.   Last year, nearly 225,000 families claimed the Child Tax Credit and saw an average total credit of $2,500.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

like the dictators they worship, the american right cannot distinguish between the aesthetic and appearance of power and actual power

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

In other good news, union busting is now back in style.

"I just want to be clear about what's going on here." - @warren.senate.gov www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIHN...

Friendly reminder there are only FIFTEEN PEOPLE still at Guantanamo. We’ve been trying to shut it down but “can’t” because of how problematic it is to charge/release people who have been robbed of due process (read: tortured so info is inadmissible in court)….. AND WE’RE SENDING MORE PEOPLE THERE!?

I honestly think the point of a lot of Trump economic policy is just to make his rich friends richer.

A good summary of what's gone on with NSF funding, and some interesting new tidbits. I'm really pleased they chose to end with @wytham88.bsky.social and a link to our paper: “Grants don’t just generate knowledge or output now, they’ve become a way that we support the training of future scientists.”

Also that trump is very weak and will throw him under the bus to save himself immediately.

I filed this amicus brief on December 9th, 2024. I called out exactly how Musk could use his position to enlist federal law enforcement to baselessly launch criminal investigations of his critics. gov.uscourts.ca5.221293/gov.uscourts.ca5.221293.83.0.pdf

Are there any historical examples similar to what Musk is doing in the US Government? My wild guess is the ensuing destability comes for him pretty quickly. Does he actually believe he’ll be king of the ashes?

THIS IS WHAT WE WANT!! Stop them all. Freeze the Senate! Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz has announced he will put a blanket hold on all Trump diplomatic nominees. Go @brianschatz.bsky.social!

instead of affirming trump’s belief that he is king of america, it is important to recognize that federalism provides states the tools to push back or at least ignore these orders

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless. They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.

I have OFTEN used government sites for research when I’m considering different policies. This will directly make it harder to make good decisions. I’m pretty sure that’s the point.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

#FYI: ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. (Published 2021)

With the tariffs taking effect, this is a great time to learn to grow some of your own food. I’m looking into easy, nutrient rich plants that I can hopefully keep alive. 🧵

Does anyone know the extent to which Musk has gained access to our data? Are there ANY guardrails at all that stop him from taking and using that information for his own purposes (profit or political- I assume)?

dark times indeed, but still laughing that one of the week’s big stories was an Chinese AI company being like “oh a bullshit machine? we can make that, no problem” and it blew up the stock market

I got together with some girl friends (some old, some new) last night. There was food and drinks and chatting around a fire. I have not felt optimistic about the future in a good while, but that changed yesterday. Advocacy is so important, but don’t underestimate the power of relationships!

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
