Oh man, everyday is going to be like this …

acting like a real president

Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles …

President Trump issued a barrage of orders Monday targeting Biden-era initiatives on global warming. The decisions come on the heels of the hottest year ever recorded.

More than ever we need our votes to matter We need our hard work advocating for causes and campaigns to matter Too much money in politics is drowning out our voices It started with the Citizens United Supreme Court decision Our voices should matter more than money in a healthy democracy

BREAKING: In a victory for voters, the U.S. Supreme Court denies an appeal from Montana officials seeking to reinstate two voter suppression laws. The state wanted SCOTUS to use the radical independent state legislature theory to overturn a decision from the Montana Supreme Court.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will appoint state Attorney General Ashley Moody to fill Marco Rubio's U.S. Senate seat. Moody was one of 17 state attorneys general who signed an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election results in 4 states.

BREAKING: The National Treasury Employees Union is suing the Trump administration. They're suing over Trump's "schedule F" order that that makes it easier to fire career federal workers. The union's president says, “This order is about administering political loyalty tests."

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

An Executive Order repealing Lowering Drug Prices will LIMIT people accessing their desperately needed medications, it will cost American Lives.🤬

The Qanon Shaman on Twitter is everything that's wrong with this new administration in a nutshell.

Today, is 15 yrs of the SCOTUS decision Citizens United which allows corporate spending in American politics! There’s a felon & robber baron oligarchs in the WH! This is a REMINDER that the folks they’ll rob the most from are the American middle class, making their wealth at the expense of workers!

To offset the costs of extending Trump's Tax Scam for the rich, House Republicans are proposing cuts to food stamps, social services and Medicaid. It's absolutely shameless and disgusting.

Quick question - who is the acting DHS Secretary, anyway? news.usni.org/2025/01/21/a...

The US just revoked an executive order aimed at making EV sales 50% by 2030. “The US will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said. But China is already stomping the US in EV sales. This decision will widen the gap. Source: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump just literally eliminated an Executive Order to reduce the price of prescription drugs. They are ripping you off, personally. They never gave a shit about the price of anything.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

US median voters have wonderous minds

And there you have it. Little men playing to the insecurities of other little men by claiming “masculinity is being targeted“, when really it’s all about the almighty dollar. And the testosterone deficient little men fell for it again.

"House and Senate Democrats [should] introduce resolutions condemning Trump’s pardons...forcing Republicans to choose whether they are willing to join Trump and go on the record as pro-insurrection." www.thebulwark.com/p/all-out-as...

Birthright citizenship is on the lips and minds of many, given yesterday’s “executive order.” Recommend Martha Jones’s book to those seeking to inform themselves about the context of this concept.

Jose Andres and his World Central Kitchen have been in Los Angeles volunteering to feed displaced families -- right after he did the same thing for those impacted by the hurricane in North Carolina. This is how the president is repaying him tonight -- "YOU'RE FIRED!"

This is really the most important economic takeaway from yesterday. Dems should seize upon it. These tech bros represent just one of the top 30 employers in the US. They aren't that interested in building high-quality US jobs. But they are very interested in controlling every aspect of your lives.

Trump still has until 12:01 today to end the war in Ukraine.

This part 👇🏼 Quit stripping away our rights? And we’ll stop talking about you stripping away our rights. Deal?

Some media characterizing Trump's exec order to end birthright citizenship as being about children born to undocumented immigrants That understates how extreme this EO is. It also denies citizenship to kids born of immigrants here *legally,* but without green cards (on H1Bs, student visas, etc.)

I've been writing about birthright citizenship for 20 years. This thread strings together my opinion pieces (not law review tomes, which I will post separately). I wrote a book about the Fourteenth Amendment and I debated John Eastman 20 years ago about his vile plan to end birthright citizenship./1

Convicted felon 47.

Fuck everyone who isn't ready to oppose-- not "resist" but OPPOSE, this at every moment and every turn.

I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to expose GOP attacks on democracy. With Trump in office again, it has expanded to meet the moment. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically prodemocracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

I have a feeling someone may need this today. This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.

Energy EO holds up EV charging funding to states already appropriated by Congress. If fewer charging stations get built, fewer cars will drive on electricity. This will be bad for emissions, but it will also increase gasoline use, which will raise, gasoline prices. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

The birthright citizenship order goes into effect in 30 days and prohibits federal agencies from issuing citizenship documents (such as passports) to the—to be clear—citizens in question. But that's simply not how any of this works. Read @timothypmurphy.bsky.social:

This is a nightmare. The executive order is being used to bypass any checks and balances in the government.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday. Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

Confirmed. Time to start dumping Meta products.

This is what I was writing about 20 years ago as a terrifying but far off prospect, a key tipping point in the climate crisis. Now it’s here. Report by my colleague @patrickgreenfield A third of Arctic’s vast carbon sink now source of emissions, study reveals www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Silence from these groups is so loud: Blue lives matter/police unions Pro Hamas protesters Detroit Muslims Cubans/Haitians/Venezuelans Anti Kamala leftists Jill Stein & Cornell West Ados stooges “There’s something coming” resistor accounts “Trust the legal process” eXpErTs

Trump must have rescinded the Biden EO to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid to get the price of eggs down. At least Nanna and Poppa will enjoy their cheaper omelette.

With the NYT, I have filed a FOIA lawsuit seeking disclosure of the volume of Jack Smith's report about Trump's classified documents case. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

But Kamala! Anyone who believed Trump would be good—or even neutral—for the Palestinians was delusional. The Israeli right wing adores him for a reason: he’s given them free rein. where’s all that pro-Palestinian outrage now? We told you! www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

"Who are these “unbelievable patriots” Trump is vowing to put back on the streets? Here is a small sampling of people who have thus far been not only charged and convicted, but sentenced for January 6th–related crimes." www.thebulwark.com/p/just-who-a...

There are a lot of Canadians on here more than happy to help a sister out via mail or a "visit to Ontario to see an online friend". I'm not exaggerating.
