@tribelaw This is horrific. Gaza has been turned into a death camp at the hands of the Israeli government. Let's be clear. i support Israel's right to exist peacefully and to defend itself. But not this. Never this.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

JUST IN: Amazon just canceled inventory orders from China over Trump’s tariffs.

That’s not a policy shift—that’s a full-blown supply chain freakout.

When one of the biggest retailers on Earth starts pulling the plug on Chinese imports, you know the tariffs aren’t just headlines—they’re detonations.

Appalling!

Trump's order to expand U.S. timber production includes all of California's national forests https://t.co/hjYv9dowwx

BREAKING:

New national sales tax of 10-145% on virtually everything

Tax started by Trump, and Republicans in Congress refuse to stop him

There — THAT is what the tariffs really mean

@thejackhopkins Trump and Vance tried to humiliate President Zelenskyy but only succeeded in humiliating themselves and the United States. They are small, weak men, and it shows.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Today, we unequivocally and unapologetically reaffirm, to the United States of America and to the World, the following undeniable and indisputable facts. We ask all Americans, including all elected officials from all Parties and all levels of Government, to join us by sharing and reposting this message for the World to see:

🇺🇸 Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded Ukraine without justification and without provocation.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands for the Rule of Law, and respects and defends the borders and territorial sovereignty of all Freedom-Loving Nations.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, and freedom-loving nation, and is an ally of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin, through his illegal invasions, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, is an enemy of the United States of America and the Free World.  

🇺🇸 The United States of America stands with Democracies and opposes Dictatorships.

🇺🇸 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Legitimately Elected President of Ukraine through a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin is an Unelected Dictator who imprisons his political opponents and who has never held a free and fair election.  

🇺🇸 The Ukrainian election has been delayed because Ukraine is under daily relentlessly bombings, over 200 per day, by Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine is in a State of 24/7 Martial Law.  

🇺🇸 Ukraine will hold their elections as soon as Vladimir Putin stops his unprovoked, unjustified daily bombings inside Ukraine.

🇺🇸 If Putin is rewarded for his illegal invasion and genocide, this will serve as a green-light incentive to other Dictators, such as CCP Chairman Xi Jinping, to pursue their own conquests (i.e. Taiwan), which will lead to more instability across the Globe.

🇺🇸 Dictators like Vladimir Putin are the Adult Versions of the School Yard Bullies that we all confronted in Grade School. And they must be dealt with in the same exact way. There is Peace through Strength, and there is War through Weakness. There is no magical third option.  

#PeaceThroughStrength

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Democrats, don’t whine about and don’t complain about what Trump & his sugar daddy are doing. Attack. Go on the offensive. Attack Trump & his sugar daddy for what they’re doing.

Important thread

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

An amendment that would have simply let about 800 undocumented students who grew up in Florida finish their already begun college educations while paying in-state tuition failed in the Florida Senate & House. Just horrible miserable monsters who voted against this amendment.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

If any of Trump's unfit cabinet picks make it through, America will lose its power, integrity, and security. And we will never get it back.

Call your Senator today and tell them NO on these dangerous cabinet nominees 202-224-3121.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So, in addition to a communications pause, a freeze on hiring, and an indefinite ban on travel, the Trump administration has now abruptly cancelled crucial NIH meetings related to biomedical research, infectious disease (including Bird Flu), cancer research, vaccines and more.

One NIH scientist was quoted as saying, “The impact of the collective executive orders and directives appears devastating.”

What the fuck is he doing?

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

BREAKING: President Biden affirms the Equal Rights Amendment is part of the U.S. Constitution, declaring it the “law of the land.”

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

RIGHT NOW: Rep. @JohnnyGarrett4 is explaining the new policy will be sending members who dissent in a way House Republicans disapprove of to Speaker Sexton’s Dissent Dungeon

the dissenter will be exiled to vote from hearing room in a different building

Welcome to Tennessee!

[ProPublica @propublica]

If Trump follows through on a vow to undo Biden’s signature climate law, he would be rolling back legislation that has disproportionately benefited red areas that make up his base.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

At minimum, he should send the report to Biden. Let the president who has full immunity, release it to the public.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Himes: Thid place used to be considered a check and a balance on the power of the president. That's why we exist. And the message just went out that if you check this president, you're fired.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Incredible farewell address by Biden. Listen to these words as they are incredibly important.

“Today an oligarchy is taking shape in America with extreme wealth and power”….

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Biden: "The mistake I think I made was not getting our allies to acknowledge Democrats did this. So for example, call a new $1b bridge over a river 'the Democratic bridge,' figuratively speaking. Talk about who put it together. Let people know this was something Dems did."
