📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Kaine: "Yesterday the DOGE guys post classified information on their website, and they had to realize, 'Oh, we didn't realize that agency was a classified agency.' You shouldn't let people rampage through offices that have classified information."

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for the ultra-rich are expiring. To renew them, they need $4 TRILLION—so they’re slashing funding, shutting down programs, and handing the controls to unqualified tech bros who are installing hardware, mining data, and pulling the plug on essential services.

Kaine: "Why race-bait at a moment like this? I think POTUS didn't want to be asked tough questions like, why did you let Elon Musk force the FAA administrator to resign... why did you scrap an aviation safety advisory committee on the 2nd day of your presidency?... why did you issue a buyout offer?"

"Why are tariffs on Canada and Mexico different than (some) other tariffs? Consider this graph courtesy of Bloomberg via Torsten Slok" (but actually from me & @AlfredCObregon) https://buff.ly/42xOkvp

Kash Patel told @amyklobuchar.com he did not recall saying Trump has “every right to tell the world that in 2020, 2016, and every other election in between was rigged by our government because they were.” Here’s the clip:

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

1,100 EPA employees have been notified of imminent termination.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

Today is January 6th and no one is watching the Capitol be plundered, feces being smeared on the walls, and police officers being stabbed with American flags. Why? Because one side believes in democracy no matter what, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.

With 235 judges confirmed, Medicare prescription drug costs capped, and student debt canceled for an additional 55,000 public service workers, Joe Biden is ending his term strong. A reminder of what it's like to have a President who fights for all Americans. Catch up here. 👇

Thank you, Liz Cheney.

Who here is inclined to agree?

"Trump has few policy commitments beyond self-aggrandizement and revenge, enabling the likes of Loomer and Vivek to glom on and advance their own agendas. Now they have to fight among themselves because Trump himself doesn’t really care enough to impose a vision, much less any kind of discipline."

Well would you look at that.

A spherical UFO spotted at Manchester Airport in June generated buzz among alien enthusiasts, with footage shared by a co-pilot mysteriously vanishing and sparking debates on social media about its authenticity and origin. #ufo #uap #aliens #ovni #ufosky

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

Morning, friends. Time to dig back in to all of this. Democracy matters.
