@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday. He made genuinely “good trouble.” During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked “Where does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?” All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.

FITCH: “This is a game changer, not only for the US economy but for the global economy. Many countries will likely end up in a recession. You can throw most forecasts out the door, if this tariff rate stays on for an extended period of time." 🇺🇸

Elon Musk shared a call from conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro urging Trump to pardon Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the 2020 killing of George Floyd.

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 62. Trump’s Trade War escalates as Canada, Mexico, and China announce they will retaliate against the US; plus all the other political news from this weekend. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government. The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

No one voted for Elon Musk. An unelected billionaire is trying to raid the Treasury Department and take money from the American people. This is a constitutional crisis and we choose to fight. We’re taking action to stop the Trump-Musk power grab this week. Join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

🤷🏼‍♂️

Pretty damning evidence tipping the scales on the question of whether Musk is pro-apartheid.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Arrest Guantanamo

We can’t let a mega rich dude shut down the main foreign aid program created and funded by Congress just because he doesn’t like it and has our president by the balls www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Indeed, we will. Who exactly is the unqualified DEI hire, Austin or Hegseth?

👏👏PERFECTLY SAID, SENATOR DUCKWORTH: "Brave Republicans who would stand up to Trump have gone. They're no longer in the Senate, and the ones that are left are scared for their lives. I would hope that my colleagues would put the safety and security of the nation above their own political survival."

Today, I signed an executive order prohibiting greedy land developers from ripping off LA wildfire victims with unsolicited, undervalued offers to buy their destroyed property. Make no mistake — this is a prosecutable crime.

Are we sleepwalking into autocracy? Yes! Well, probably not YOU – my community is wide awake! But I try to shake many others out of their slumber in my latest @nytopinion.nytimes.com w/ @kimlanelaw.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

Sound the alarm!

Why did we create @contrariannews.bsky.social? Because democracy is at stake; Because corporate media isn’t cutting it; Because Trump’s second act will be worse than his first @jenrubin.bsky.social & I are building the pro-democracy media we need edition.cnn.com/2025/01/13/m...

Remember Musk’s $1mn prizes ahead of the US election? It turns out the final winner worked for the Trump campaign — and was already traveling to its election-night party in West Palm Beach when he won. Scoop, w/ Alex Rogers: on.ft.com/40tFSvu

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump and MAGA did Jan 6 2021 and what Dems are NOT doing today!

🚨🚨🚨🚨HOMEWORK🚨🚨🚨🚨 I think the Jack Smith draft report is finished. Write to Merrick Garland and ask him to release the Jack Smith report. You can do it here. Select “Messages to the Attorney General” from the drop down menu www.justice.gov/doj/webform/...

BREAKING: Donald Trump's former former codefendants in Florida, are asking Judge Cannon to block Jack Smith from publcly releasing a final report. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

ICYMI Today’s January 6th certification went off without incident but four years ago should never be forgotten. Wise and true words from President Biden. Gift link. wapo.st/4h4dDZM

MAGA is going to love this: California is projected to have a budget surplus this year. Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to boost savings, fund legal battles against Trump, and skip spending cuts—all while keeping programs like free pre-K on track. A solid boost for the resistance.

Four years ago right now. This was our evacuation team that got us out of the Capitol. When they knocked on our hiding place door, they had a code word & we had a response word so we knew they were actual USCP. You can see them holding back rioters. The “Join Us!” chant to cops was stomach turning.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Horrible people are not foreign to receiving Time’s Person of the Year. Hitler got it in 1938, Stalin 1939 & 1942, Nixon 1971 & 1972, Ruhollah Khomeini 1979, Newt Gingrich 1995, Ken Starr 1998, Rudy Giuliani (b4 the downfall) 2001, Vladimir Putin 2007, Musk 2021.

The billionaire bros need reining in!

@sofiaukraini.bsky.social

Some nice news amongst the chaos. Volunteers delivered food, gifts for children and served hot meals to residents of Donetsk region❤️

With Tucker back in moscow, he will probably be taking a trip to the supermarket again going "Wow, look how cheap everything is!" So i want to make a thread to bring some perspective on what things really cost in russia. I watched videos of people going shopping in the moscow region for reference
