Y’all, Doug Jones is with us on BlueSky and he has some advice for Democrats in DC. Watch and give him a follow. “Go to where people are. Have testimony from folks being affected by these cuts …all politics is personal and how it affects individual people.” @dougjones.bsky.social

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Hey everyone. It’s Feb 3rd, and the Democrats have been at home since Jan 24th because the house is out of session. They should have come back, the place is on fire. Get suing, messaging, demonstrating, speaking, everything and ANYTHING

Last I checked the Constitution is still standing and we have First Amendment rights. This kind of talk is more dangerous to democracy than protesting. Do not obey in advance.

I know “all empires fall” and all that nonsense but I’ll be wrestling, for the rest of my life, with the reality that the world’s mightiest superpower is being toppled the the absolute biggest fuckin’ losers imaginable. Just… junior prom rejects, all the way down.

Yet here we all sit in our comfy homes tweeting instead of organizing and taking to the streets. The 60s protests made a difference. Could that even happen again?

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

C-Span is live-streaming the sham trump "press conference" in California full of BS disinformation with no pushback from the Republican politicians attending. Disgusting.

The problem is, the Trump family has so many crypto scams going on that it’s difficult to tell which are affiliated with them or some other scammer. Most likely you will lose your money either way.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

This is the kind of leadership failure we should notice. Forget Trump here. These California Republicans thought it was more important to go to Florida than help in whatever way they could where the crisis is happening.

🚨🚨 HOMEWORK 🚨🚨 A little Friday night mission, should you choose to accept it. Write to Merrick Garland and ask him to instruct the U.S. Atty in the SDFL to drop the appeal of the documents case. That’d end this report fight, and we could see BOTH volumes. www.justice.gov/doj/webform/...

While LA firefighters were running out of water… Rick Caruso, the real estate developer and former L.A. mayoral candidate, hired private firefighters to save his upscale shopping center in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday night. The question is: did he use public water for this?

Smith and DOJ obviously anticipated the action in Cannon Court. Smith is preparing, and will deliver as soon as this afternoon, a two volume report, presumably one on each case. Cannon might try, but she shouldn't be able to interfere with volume one on the 1/6 case.

this is a case where doj should just release the material anyway. and it will be a grave mistake if they don't. she has no plausible basis for jurisdiction over this.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.
