Without hanging the plaque to honor Jan 6 police officers and heroes that was required under federal law signed in March 2023

FOSTER CARE CRISIS: “According to the study, 70 to 80% of children aging out of Tennessee’s foster care system without proper support are facing things such as homelessness, addiction, imprisonment, or trafficking by the age of 21.”

This is U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett, a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Today, she boldly stood up for U.S. Territories that have no representation in Congress, saying “I have a voice!”

RETWEET if you stand with @StaceyPlaskett!

Jeffries: Our position is that it is not acceptable to cut social security, cut medicare, cut medicaid, cut veterans' benefits, or cut nutritional assistance from children and families in order to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations

I'm really happy that President Biden is honoring chef José Andrés with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

His work with World Central Kitchen is incredible, most recently with feeding folks after hurricanes Helene and Milton

The Biden-Harris administration is enacting a new rule requiring subscription services, including gym memberships, to offer “one click to cancel.”

It goes into effect on January 14th.

Really wealthy ppl finding out a small group of working class ppl on strike can fuck up their day, ruin their vacation, & cost them time & money is my FAVORITE reason to support strikes.

WATCH: “We represent over 4 million Americans — I ask why we were not called to vote… I HAVE A VOICE!”

And they wonder why we'd choose the bear.

🚨NEW: Vivek Ramaswamay, an incoming member of the Trump Administration, has announced plans to cut $120 billion in Veterans health care.

RETWEET to let the American people know what they voted for!

RFK Jr in 2020: “Let the children suffocate. That is the vicious message from President Trump…”

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, both John Cornyn and Thom Tillis have admitted they want to see the results of the House Ethics investigation into Matt Gaetz. This is devastating news for Donald Trump.

[Marty Taylor @RealMartyT7]

After the RFK Jr nomination to head HHS I felt compelled to repost this Pulitzer Prize winning cartoon from 1957. The artist is my great uncle Tom Little and this drawing convinced millions of parents in 1957 and for years after to get their children the Salk Polio vaccine. Now polio will be one of the avoidable diseases that will make a resurgence under the radical anti vaxxer RFK Jr. Children will suffer the most under Kennedy as head of HHS. God help us all and please save our children from this ignorance.

Sen Mullin on Gaetz: “When he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl, there’s a reason why no one in the conference defended him. We all saw videos he was showing us on the House floor of girls he slept with & brag how he would crush ED medicine so he could go all night.”

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Matt Gaetz.

We're going to hear a lot more about his connections to the teenage sex ring (Venmo, Joel G, etc.), "The Game" in Tallahassee, the dead guy in the dorm room, the DUIs...it's going to be a long, long confirmation.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Wondering why food prices are still high? Little-to-no competition across the entire food supply chain allows for a price gouging free-for-all.

Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab.

Does Trump have a plan to combat this? Of course not.

Keep the receipts.

[Daniel Uhlfelder @DWUhlfelderLaw]

Trump’s pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has been unable to practice law in Florida three times over the past five years due to failure to pay dues and failure to affirm compliance with trust account rules.
