🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

First there was the Opium Wars. Now we have the Cooking Oil War.

Gov’t Shut-Down continues “…. Republicans refusing to negotiate with Democrats over health care tax credits that they are seeking to extend. …. “ (CBS News)

Jack Smith pointed out something important in his comments.

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election." DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic. "What are the next steps?" DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

Donald Trump has been firing people who protect your health, safety and pocketbook, and who keep our country safe. The shutdown is just his latest excuse for these purges.

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

BREAKING: James Comey is filing a motion to dismiss his case based on United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, being appointed illegally.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

The US has carried out a fifth strike on a Venezuelan vessel, killing all six people on board. It comes days after the UN held an emergency meeting on the attacks, calling them “cowboy tactics.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has repeatedly criticized the GOP for the government shutdown, which has lasted nearly two weeks.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Georgia Voter: I’m glad the Democrats are holding out for some of us—for the 20 million people who still need it and will only get insurance this way.

Good morning friends. Happy Tuesday!! I hope you have a wonderful day 😃💙

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years. Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Congressional Democrats marched to Mike Johnson’s office demanding that he swear in Democrat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would become the crucial 218th signature on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Emmer: "To continue this shutdown, for what? For a hate America rally that's taking place on the Mall on Saturday, Maria? This is ridiculous."

Charlie Kirk in 2015: “[I’m] not the biggest Donald Trump fan in the world. …People are going to brand us and loop us in that bucket like, 'Oh, you're the Donald Trump group. …We're going to have to fight back against that."

I wonder how many white people would fail a basic citizenship test to be able to vote? You know, how black folk used to be treated to vote and all.

Are we gonna let democracy die at the hands of high school losers? Because that's unacceptable to me. I’m simply too cool to tolerate it.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Now you know what it takes to get me to share a Bible quote.

Also in every time, but especially in the age of chattel slavery, there were plenty of people in the dominant in-group who objected to these things. I spent a good bit of time on this point in the first Lawful Extremism paper: www.middlebury.edu/institute/ct...
