Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.

How did our country (the U.S.) create and elevate such a group of cowardly, greedy, vain, arrogant, and profoundly insecure men to the highest rungs of power? They bring Zelensky to the Oval Office for what? To mock and denigrate a truly courageous leader & try to bring him down to their base level?

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

That’s a good point. We tend to think that things used to be “normal” when in fact we have plenty of evidence of irrational, abnormal episodes in our history. Religious cults, Prohibition, crazy money/gold/finance scares - to name a few.

1. Monday - fell apart 2. Tuesday - broke my heart 3. Wednesday - same 4. Thursday - didn't even start 5. Friday - I'm in love

The Democratic party needs to immediately appoint and support Shadow Cabinet Secretaries able to give press conferences and issue statements every single day.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

He who posts this should expect it to show up in briefs challenging what he does

Literally a Napoleon quote about how ending democracy was legitimate

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Not to sound flip but I had sort of forgotten how viscerally it sucks when Donald Trump is the president.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

MAGA and Corporate Media: That wasn't a Nazi salute that was just a Roman salute. Also, that isn't goose-stepping, that's just a dance move. Oh, and that's not a swastika but just an old Indian symbol for good luck.
