U.S. Democratic Representative Mark Pocan plans to introduce a bill designed to ban “special government employees” like Elon Musk from having federal contracts so they can’t steer spending towards their own self-interest. Read more here: tcrn.ch/4jMVFNJ

As someone who flies at least once a month for my job, I can tell you, this shit is keeping me up at night. I’m really not excited about getting on a plane on Wednesday.

THIS is how you communicate, folks

Donald Trump's decision to freeze all federal assistance is an unconstitutional overreach and shows us exactly why we need a strong moderate opposition in this moment. We need to be loud in opposition. We must fight back.

The cost of Donold’s first deportation flights, carrying about 80 migrants each, cost up to $852,000 per trip.

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.   Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.

Odd that big British and French and Irish and Israeli news organizations have already posted stories on this, but not yet the @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com.

This is not the end. But it is *an* end. Things will get worse. (Much worse.) We will endure. (Not all of us. The losses will be profound.) And we will, one day, build something better. (I hope.)

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who ran a historic 100-day campaign against President Donald Trump in the hopes of becoming the first woman president of the United States, will again make history on Monday — and bring other women along. www.instagram.com/p/DFD7A5jpxQg/

Watching all the people who think that Trump will approve a deal where Zuckerberg, Musk or “the United States”will own 50% of TikTok. The United States is now a monarchy and everything he seizes will go to “the Crown”. He’ll be doing “joint ventures“ with Meta, Twitter and SpaceX next.

Protest crowds are the biggest crowds that traitorous fuck will ever get.

It seems to me that cutting Americans off from one of their most accessible sources of communication with the rest of the world as well as each other seems like a pretty clear indicator that things in the USA are about to get a whole lot more grim than we ever prepared for

Now that TikTok has officially gone dark, I’m re-upping my post from a few days ago to remind folks that this praise for Trump is wrong.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Having the best time celebrating @jamesondurall.bsky.social at Disneyland! As a lifelong Floridian, I always thought I’d be a Disney World 4 Lyfe gal but it is just SO charming here! And they still have Mr Toad’s Wild Ride, which is a forever favorite for me ❤️

Vacation Mode: Activate!

Donald Trump does not have a plan to lower inflation or costs in the United States. It’s that simple, and every American should know about it.

Feeling better and better about deactivating my Meta profiles.

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

RFK claimed he didn't take a penny from his creepy anti-vax nonprofit. It's technically true. He didn't take a penny, he took 220,000,000.00 pennies.

Jack Smith's report concludes Trump "engaged in an unprecedented criminal effort to overturn the legitimate results of the election after losing in 2020.

If this was Hillary everyone would have lost their damn minds. I hate it here.

To Mike Johnson, Thou shalt not ‘impose conditions’ on disaster aid to California. California is the 6th largest economy in the world. If thou fuck around, thou shalt find out.

There’s gotta be some pocket dimension folded into ours where all of our missing hair ties are.

Incredible idea!!! What a unique way to help schools affected by the wildfires. Who out there can help make this happen? #cawildfires #support #losangeles www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYoH37vV/

Cozy Sunday with Sweet Bean 💙

I’ve thought a lot about this, given the topic substantial consideration, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the all-time best TV show theme song belongs to The Golden Girls.

Kind of love that we have @katiecouric.bsky.social breaking things down for us. She was peak Today Show for me and I always knew she was one of the good ones. I deleted my Facebook and Instagram apps today. Done. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYEDrhMS/

Shame on every MAGA Republican who is using the California wildfires to spread misinformation.

Trump 1.0: Alternative facts. Trump 2.0: The end of fact checking.

It’s good to be home 💙

I have had to rebook my return flight 5 times for today, but I think I might be on the right path finally. It’s nice getting to watch the snow fall from O’Hare for now!

Donald Trump is officially a convicted felon. That's the post.

They ran on “not wanting World War 3.” Trump’s not even sworn in yet and is explicitly promising World War 3.

Just a reminder to his supporters… none of these are lowering the price of gas or groceries.

Today, Congress certified the results of a free and fair election. Four years after an attempted insurrection, we must continue to protect and uphold our democratic ideals by ensuring that never happens again.

Chili Night!
