🚨 HOLY HELL; Sen. Cory Booker just detonated on the Senate floor.

Screaming match. Finger-pointing. Full-on political exorcism.

He torched his own party for being “WEAK,” said they “MIGHT DESERVE TO LOSE,” and warned Democrats:

“If you’re looking the other way from Trump’s actions, that’s complicity with an authoritarian leader.”

Then came the haymaker:

“COME AT ME? You’ll have to take it up with me AND GOD.”

Booker says Dems are sleepwalking into fascism while pretending bipartisanship is still real.

This eruption was triggered by a debate over policing, but it blew the lid off the whole damn party.

🧨 “The Democratic Party needs a wake-up call.”

Sir, consider it delivered.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can spread the word?

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts.

If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.

Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.

So what vaccine schedule should I have received?

His answer was dangerous. I will be voting no.

the fact that sesame street was created to provide low income urban kids with quality educational content just for wb to put the show in jeopardy. I hope someone does give the show funding bc sesame street is important in a world full of cocomelon and skibidi toilet.

Anti-abortion activists and politicians are quietly working towards eradicating 'exceptions' for women's lives.

I explained at my newsletter how they're going to do it, step-by-step

This! Dems are in the billionaires’ pockets too. That is why they didn’t go left enough in their messaging; affordable education and healthcare, decreasing middle class taxes, and increasing corporate taxes while closing loopholes.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Sen. Bernie Sanders says "The Democrats ran a campaign protecting the status quo and tinkering around the edges" and that its leadership "are much too wedded to the billionaires and corporate interests that fund their campaigns."

Reminder: Social Security does NOT add to the national debt.

Anyone suggesting cutting Social Security to solve our debt is lying to you to take from you.

Good Lord, I am listening to an analysis piece on NPR that is examining what mass deportations would do to the construction industry in Texas.
Where in the heck were these stories before the election??

But we got headline after headline parroting "Trump wins on the economy" tho

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

And less competition means higher prices for you.

Georgia's health department found 89% of maternal deaths were preventable.

Republican's solution? They fired every member of committee that dared to publish report.

They don't care if pregnant women die — Only that the statistics are kept secret.

Committee on Maternal Mortal ity's job is to collect data and make recommendations to reduce deaths and publish them in reports.

The Georgia committee���s most recent report found that of 113 pregnancy-related deaths, 101 had could of been prevented.

Specifically, the committee blamed the state’s abortion ban for some of the unnecessary deaths.

Now that Georgia Republicans have fired the entire Maternal Mortality Committee, they don't have to worry about any more inconvenient reports coming out that tell the truth — Abortion bans kill women.

🚨NEWS: Trump's new AG nominee Pam Bondi is the sister of the lawyer who represented Elon Musk & Tesla when they were charged with committing securities fraud.

If confirmed, Bondi would be in a position to shut down DOJ's ongoing probe of Musk and Tesla. https://t.co/QVHhQInD1J

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women
