[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Same words, same concepts, same reference to our constitution — and, ironically, same concerns about President Trump. Watch for yourself.

Secretary Hegseth continues to show us who he is: a man who doesn’t understand the values of the institution he now leads. Holier-than-thou, attacking free speech, loathsome of the very values enshrined in our Constitution, and refusing any accountability as a leader.

This is quite literally the opposite of what is taught to our most junior folks in uniform. And it's most definitely why the six of us made our video in the first place.

[Matthew Cooke @thematthewcooke]

New video: Invading Venezuela, Iraq, Afghanistan, bombing Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Palestine, is the job of the US presidency established by the founders -- war profiteers, slavers, bankers, speculators, and whiskey distillers. Obviously an oligarch like Musk supports it.

[The Resonance @Partisan_12]

Create chaos. Change the headlines. Bury the truth.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

To be clear: the American president doesn’t declare war, Congress does, and the fact that the administration left Congress completely out of the decision to invade Venezuela is a real problem.

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

The 8hr video of Jack Smith’s testimony was released by Congress on New Years’ Eve in between Epstein and Venezuela. It’s an extraordinary display of Smith’s integrity and attention to justice and fairness on 1/6. Allison Gill deserves praise for curating the key clips. 1/4

[Sandi Bachom 📹 @sandibachom]

The reason he’s doing all these horrible things so fast and creating such mass confusion is because of what Hannah Arendt said. And he’s on his last legs before the inevitable.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at
ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot
between right and wrong

And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without
knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The oil companies were notified before Congress.

This is what an authoritarian oligarchy looks like.

[TheRealThelmaJohnson @TheRealThelmaJ1]

This was 2 weeks ago. Trump didn't tell Congress his invasion plans but he did tell the Russians.

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

THIS WAS UNILATERALLY DECIDED BY RFK Jr… bypassing any scientific evidence, bypassing vaccine committees, bypassing any public health and medical associations, and bypassing any Senate confirmed CDC director. RFK Jr wants kids and adults to die.

[Derek Cressman @DerekCressman]

@USDOL @DebraMMason1 And yet government spending still went up. Genius move spending more money with fewer employees.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Forget extending the tax credits, now the Republicans are talking getting rid of the Affordable Care Act completely...

[Dear White Staffers @dearwhitestaff]

Why did California Congressman Brad Sherman feel it was appropriate to look at porn on his iPad during a flight today? His district deserves better representation than this!! #CA32

[Rep. Veronica Escobar @RepEscobar]

I would have preferred to quietly conduct my oversight responsibilities as I always have, but ICE chose not to follow the law.

These ‘guidelines’ are illegal, and that deserves public scrutiny.

@Angry_Staffer “I promise I will never get America into another war”

[Alex Vacca @itsalexvacca]

The productivity paradox nobody talks about:

Yes, ChatGPT makes you 60% faster at completing tasks.

But it reduces the "germane cognitive load" needed for actual learning by 32%.

You're trading long-term brain capacity for short-term speed.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Sen. Padilla frames this in exactly the right way:

"If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Adriana tried to get medical care for her headaches. She knew something was wrong. Despite being a nurse, she was ignored.

When I had my hysterectomy complication, the ER gaslit me & sent me home 3 times.

I survived because I had a man to fight for me:

New @ConsumerReports test of cassava-based foods found lead levels so high in some products they recommend to avoid eating them. Sign the petition now urging @BobsRedMill @OttosCassava https://t.co/8fey5jOIVv

@MaxFlugrath Oh my God! Trump is MS-13!

[Max Flugrath🗳️ @MaxFlugrath]

Want to help stop this MAGA election takeover?

Call your members of congress (Rep + Senators) and demand a NO vote on the SAVE Act: [phone]

Support orgs suing to stop Trump's illegal actions.

Join protests.

Like the old saying goes: It’s a republic, if we can keep it.
