Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Federal Reserve Chair, Jerome Powell, issues statement after the DOJ issued notice that he is being subpoenaed for criminal indictment. The DOJ’s move is quite unprecedented. No U.S. Federal Reserve Chair has ever been issued such a subpoena. www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th? McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Trump bombed Nigeria on Christmas Day claiming he’s “fighting ISIS and stopping Christian genocide.” Nigerian Christians attest that the violence seen is real but not based on religious discrimination, & Trump’s framing as such makes Nigerian Christians less safe www.qasimrashid.com/p/nigeria-ch...

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.

Today is the last day for you to make your voice heard. It only takes 45 seconds to ensure women have full rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. Using disparate impact under ECOA, we've ensured women on maternity leave can still access car and mortgage loans. Act now!

TY Madam Secretary @hillaryclinton.bsky.social in sounding the alarm on the Trump Administration’s attempt to eliminate fair lending opportunities for women! TODAY is the last day to make your voice heard—it will only take a few seconds: bit.ly/4pwy1aD #defendcivilrights

It wasn't long ago that women were forced to have a male co-signer to get a credit card or a home loan. Now, the Trump administration wants to end protections against such discrimination. Take 45 seconds today to say "No way." nationalfairhousingalliance.salsalabs.org/ecoaregb/ind...

One of the first fair lending cases I worked on, shortly after the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, involved a woman who could not obtain a mortgage loan in her own name. Thank you @warren.senate.gov for sounding the alarm. We need all of you to sound the alarm too. bit.ly/4pwy1aD

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The Trump Admin warns states will face harsh penalties if they don't comply w/ orders to "immediately undo" efforts to provide SNAP benefits to low-income families. The Admin told the Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit that states would be "responsible for the consequences" if they don't obey.

A Fed court found it was very likely that the Trump-Vance administration broke the law when it failed to fund SNAP benefits from the contingency fund and that its plan to terminate ABAWD waivers early, impacting communities across 17 states, was unlawful. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71820...

A surge in callouts among air traffic controllers "is straining staffing levels" at multiple airports across the US — including in the NYC area where 80% of controllers are absent. The FAA said half of the 30 busiest facilities were experiencing staffing shortages, "leading to widespread impacts."

Congress needs to step up and stop this immediately. We must abide by & follow international law or another country could do the same thing to us.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.
