"All of the things Donald Trump has done in the last few days are against the law. All of them." —Lawrence O'Donnell

@maddow.msnbc.com Please only interview people who are actually doing something to stop the coup. Not just people who can analyze it.

"Let's not become a nation of frightened silent people." --Navalny

I don't recall electing Elon Musk to anything, but he has now forced his way into the US Treasury's payment system and is beginning to decide who gets paid and who doesn't. He has access to our SSN's, bank account numbers, etc.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Unfortunately, all the reasons Caroline Kennedy gave to not approve RFKJr are exactly the reasons Trump chose him. He wants to destroy the US government.

Disturbing move that may fly under the radar - Trump removes members of PCLOB, the board the oversees privacy in the intelligence community, leaving it inoperable, at least for now.

I wish every Dem office would read this and internalize it. "The only sensible and dignified course of action is to accept that Republicans are in charge and to focus in on making their unpopular actions as painful as possible...The job of the opposition is quite literally to oppose. Get to it."

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/olI9Nhqt

Valuable reasoning here. Worth adding: when Musk and Trump make government fail, they will then try to blame and punish chosen enemies. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/o...

A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won. Please watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5yW...

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

Any lip readers? What are Obama and Trump talking about at #Carter's funeral?

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Instead of the pardon nonsense, the legacy media should be covering the North Carolina Supreme Court recount where the Republican candidate is seeking to disqualify more than 60,000 lawful ballots and to disenfranchise entirely certain dependents of overseas and military voters.

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!

This is not a mandate.

The House Ethics Committee should release the Matt Gaetz report. Repost if you agree.
