“Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And … foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.”

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.

What does a group of privileged white male politicians know about oppression? Republicans pushed a bill firing all workers in offices related to DEI - because according to them, diversity oppresses white men. I gave a vocabulary lesson on the meaning of oppression. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCwO...

The US government recently bought powerful spyware that could make hacking your phone easier—and shape the way Trump executes some of his campaign promises, including mass deportations. My latest in @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

House Ethics Committee Republicans have landed on an excuse of not releasing the Gaetz report because it’s “unfinished,” and that would set bad precedent. Yes, THAT’S the precedent we must avoid— but nominating someone accused of child sex trafficking? That precedent is apparently fine with the GOP.

The NY Times obtained this diagram from the federal sex trafficking investigation of Matt Gaetz showing he made thousands of dollars in payments to women who told investigators they had sex with him for money. This is the redacted version. More here: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/u...

Trump's pick for Commerce Secretary, billionaire Howard Lutnick, is under fire for improperly mixing his personal business interests — including close ties to crypto — with running Trump's transition team. Just another reminder that Trump serves the oligarchy, not the people.

"House Republicans have revived HR 9495, which would give Trump power to shut down nonprofits he doesn't like under the guise of fighting “terrorism.” 52 House Dems shamefully joined the GOP in voting for it last week. Every Dem should vote against this authoritarian power-grab."

BREAKING NEWS: GM announces it will fire at least 1000 workers as they face Trump’s promises of increased tariffs. It’s only the beginning. Food costs will go up because of the tariffs. The workers will lose their work insurance and can’t use the ACA when subsidies expire. Hungry. Sick. #FAFO
