Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Great article 👀 www.thenewatlantis.com/publications...

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

It's a coup.

If you wonder where Trump is headed with all this destruction of democracy, the answer may lie in the dark writings of Curtis Yarvin.

“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” -Abraham Lincoln

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system. And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

Step one is over.

BREAKING: Jim Acosta has just issued the following powerful words in his farewell address to CNN viewers: “Don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold onto the truth and to hope”

This has been an exceptionally difficult and frightening week. Check in with the people around you. You never know who might need that kindness.

A big thank you to @robynws.bsky.social who wrote, shared attached template w/language to write reps re in-state militia and insurrectionist activities. Find your fed and state reps, and use letter template with imbedded hyperlinks and plain text. 1/2 www.usa.gov/elected-offi... shorturl.at/SJWzQ

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Just a reminder that in December I warned that Donald Trump would pardon the Jan. 6 defendants and that some of them would form the core of a new pro-Trump militia movement.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski said that she can't "in good conscience" vote for Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So, this time I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

This times a centillion.
