Jasmine Crockett ready to fight back!

More members are joining us from both chambers, we'll be there on the west side (14th St NW) at 1:00

The attacks on USAID are so telling about the whole blinkered worldview of this admin of goons. The cost to the US is minuscle, the benefits to recepients massive, the capacity to manage crisis abroad sustained, and they're happy to destroy it because they cannot concieve of anyone else as human.

U.S. agencies are being bulldozed tonight and media is not covering this dangerous authoritarian shit. I understand there was another plane crash and am praying for everyone but please make time for the overthrow of our institutions

The 2026 ELECTION has already started! Taking over the House and Senate is the only way to stop Trump's craziness. Please start organizing now, and publicize every Trump failure. Make the US Capitol blue!

Fox News reacts to stories like an immune system attacking a threat—whatever they hit hardest is what they fear most. A bishop preaching kindness and pleading with Trump? Immediate outrage. Elon Musk's salute? Full defense mode. Says it all.

Trump established an email to rat on federal workers who continue to advance equal opportunity. [email protected]. Sure would be a shame if folks misused this email address and flooded it with irrelevant things…

We are contending with a GOP that knows how to win the most important factor that shapes perception: attention. Understanding this is step one. Step two is actually changing it. Dems need a whole new strategy. Fighting the attention war is a key part of my platform.

As always, Rep. Jamie Raskin is right: The felon’s administration is the ultimate example of pay-to-play politics. Billionaires are now cashing in on their investment, while the American people are left to suffer the consequences. #StopTheOligarchy

Presidents should not be allowed to pardon people they egged on into committing their crimes. It's not forgiveness, it's lawlessness.

One of the benefits of knowing the exact date autocracy arrives is that you can spend that time preparing lawsuits to file - like this one from CREW, Vote Vets and others. www.citizensforethics.org/legal-action...

Enjoy the last day before tomorrow. Then four years…

The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!” A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵

Organizing is how we defeated Trump’s attacks on the ACA when I was at @moveon.org. Organizing is how we beat back the GOP and unrigged our state with @wisdems.bsky.social. Let’s put an organizer in charge of the DNC—and organize our way to a country that works for working people.

Some happy news! After 8 years at @washingtonpost.com as a reporter and editor, I am excited to join @propublica.org as a senior editor collaborating with local news outlets on investigative projects. Basically, my dream job. I will miss my Post peeps deeply. www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Liz Cheney responds to Grandpa RICO.

It was a certainty at this point that Trump wasn’t going to do time. In light of that, Merchans opinion does the most important political and historical work and is a welcome development. You’ll see proof of that in Trump’s outraged appeal.

Some Frenchton cuteness.

The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

The correct title for this article is "Donald Trump will ALLOW Mike Johnson to Remain As Speaker...For Now." Also, it's important to note that the Executive and Legislative Branches were intended to be separate and independent, but that was the good old days.

I kept changing my mind which Carter cartoon i should go with. Here's all three.

What a story on determination, leadership, and political give and take! www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Every tourism ad should have just a touch of trolling in them. This one for the Panama Canal is a 10/10. 🏆

Dear America This foreigner thinks he can buy you, your history, and your constitution with the billions that you enabled him to accumulate. Sadly he was right. Perhaps you should find the dignity and self-respect to fight back.

Next we have 2 special elections. Delegate Kannan Srinivasan represents Virginia’s 26th House District as the first Indian American immigrant elected to the Virginia House of Delegates. The special election is Jan 7th. Follow, amplify and volunteer kannanforvirginia.com

If you wonder what it looks if you have Federal Law Enforcement and an AG who care about election integrity, look to #Romania. Arrested violators of the law, got records of #moneylaundering, #bribes, copies of #voting software and duplicate #pollbook checkoffs. www.politico.eu/article/cali...

Looking forward to join @pbsnews.bsky.social PBS News Hour at 6:15p eastern today to discuss everything pardons. Tune in!

The day after January 6th, Donald Trump said he was "outraged" by the "heinous attack" on the Capitol, adding: "And to those who broke the law, you will pay." Needless to say, Trump didn’t mean a word of it. Four years on, it's hard to escape the feeling that January 6th succeeded.

Trump can't guarantee that American families won't pay tariffs www.axios.com/2024/12/08/t...

Under Musk, X throttled traffic to links, brought back racist accounts, created incentives to share falsehoods and scared advertisers away. He boosted his own account and discredited journalists by sharing dozens of posts against them every month. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/these-r...

NOTE: beyond alarming yet FBI Director Nominee is making threats like this to a journalist (she formerly worker for VP Pence):

Has everyone in the Washington press forgotten that Trump called for Hunter Biden to be given the death penalty last year? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... "Lawless criminals want to execute my kid who lied on a form" seems like a perfectly good reason for a pardon?

This is the sort of tangible benefit to people’s lives that Democrats need to get much better at claiming credit for.

Right now is the perfect time to write your Senators demanding they refuse to confirm Kash Patel. Let’s go.

If there is not as much uproar over today’s Kash Patel-to-FBI news as there was in the face of the Matt Gaetz-to-DOJ news, nothing matters anymore and everyone has lost their minds I actually think Gaetz may be a hair less deranged than Patel, words I cannot believe I just typed
