My my, how quickly things change when you’re about to become irrelevant.

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose. He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger. It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

Yep.

Remarkable reporting by @davidcorn.bsky.social at Mother Jones. Tulsi Gabbard has a lot of questions to answer about where the money goes from the many PACs she starts... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk is danger to society.

Trump lied about his call with Mexico’s president. She’s having none of it. She called him out. A good example for other leaders. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020. “L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes. Here you go, France. A nepo criminal!

We deserve answers. There’s a place between rolling over and storming the Capitol. The silence from Dem leadership is deafening.

“The return of Trump and his hard-edged ‘America First’ policy is emboldening Europeans who have been arguing that the continent needs more independence from its most powerful ally,” McKay Coppins reports:

The House Ethics Committee is expected to meet Wednesday as the panel weighs whether to release its final report into Trump's AG pick Matt Gaetz.

Now that Tom Homan is going to be Trump's border czar, I'd recommend this profile I did of him in 2018. It shows how he went from being well-liked in the Obama administration to the face of Trump's immigration policies. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

Trump’s transition team was in the middle of announcing new Cabinet picks this week when they were informed of a sexual assault allegation about a prior selection, Pete Hegseth, stunning several members of Trump’s team who have since raised questions about his nomination's viability, sources say

The incoming Trump administration’s plans to implement strict border measures, strike down Biden-era policies and kick off the detention and deportation of migrants at large scale are underway and starting to come into focus, according to four sources familiar with the plans.

This is not a mandate, sure he won the popular vote but it’s not a mandate.

And the terrible Trump Cabinet picks keep coming. Let's talk RFK Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary. Let's ignore the fact that he may have eaten a dog and proudly stated a worm ate part of his brain. The more important question: what would this mean for YOU? 🧵

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Update: His health guy doesn't believe in medical science. His law guy is a sex trafficker. His intelligence gal is a Russian asset. You're all caught up.

this rules

Flashback to the time Matt Gaetz tried to enter literal Chinese state propaganda into the record during a House hearing and was instantly called out for it

BOOM: GOP Senator Cornyn wants to see everything regarding the House Ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz.

The number to contact the US Senate is 202-224-3121. Call your Senators and Thune and tell them to do their jobs and oversee the Cabinet appointments. Their oath is to the Constitution and their loyalty is to their constituents, not Trump. None of his candidates are qualified.

You know what recess appointments do? They disenfranchise you of your voice and the vote you cast for your elected Senator. Call your Senators and let them know you won’t be silenced.

GET ALL OF YOUR VACCINES NOW PEOPLE.
