@HouseAdmin @POTUS “This bill is a naked power grab on behalf of the White House.” Read our statement from Senior Policy Counsel @M_F_Rose:

I’m leaving the Capitol at 4am after Republicans rammed through a vote paving a path for $70B to fund ICE for years without any reforms/accountability. They rejected all Dem proposals to lower your healthcare costs, housing, and gas prices. Spread the word. We need to stop this.

[Amene @Ange_Amene]

Good morning! Please call or contact the following campaigns and suggest they drop out this weekend if possible. CA does not deserve two Republican candidates in November!

[Wim Zwijnenburg @wammezz]

The Internet Archive and WayBackMachine has been such an essential tool in archiving information and looking up anything relevant for #OSINT research. This threat to shut it down using copyright excuses is really bad, and must be stopped

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

I’ve introduced Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth for violating his oath, endangering U.S. servicemembers, and committing war crimes, including attacks on civilians and a girls’ school in Minab, Iran. Only Congress can declare war; his actions demand immediate removal.

🚨 BREAKING CEASEFIRE UPDATES ��

"We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi

⛔️⛔️Kushner is not a U.S. official; why is he sent to negotiate with Iran in the first place? He seems to serve the personal business interests of Trump and Israel‼️.

⛔️How are Americans not outraged over this?‼️

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

BREAKING: 55 members of the US House of Representatives and two US senators have called for activating the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution to remove Trump from power.

🚨 BREAKING: Republicans block TSA funding again.

“The gentleman chooses not to.”

Democrats put forward a clean bill—full TSA funding, no conditions.

Blocked.

FIRE THEM ALL

Not once. Not twice. Over a dozen times.

[Outspoken™️ @Out5p0ken]

Every single Republican voted no to fund TSA.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

@RepUnderwood Thank you for your leadership!

[Authors Alliance @auths_alliance]

Like Rodney Dangerfield, the second factor gets no respect. It deserves better. The Second Circuit’s Judge Pierre Leval, in Authors Guild v. Google, neatly summed up the view of nearly every court that has taken up a fair use question: “The second factor has rarely played a significant role in the determination of a fair use dispute.” At best, most fair use opinions devote no more than a couple of paragraphs to the second factor.

[Authors Alliance @auths_alliance]

As a part of the Fair Use week celebrations, we are writing a week of posts on the fair use statute. Today we explore the first factor, the purpose and character of the use, through Warhol v. Goldsmith, which marked the first time the Supreme Court opined exclusively on a single fair use factor.

[Brandon Butler @bc_butler]

We're excited to bring a diverse group of fair use experts to brief Congressional staff and others on the state of play in fair use and AI, and how these questions can resonate beyond the AI realm. Learn more and RSVP here: https://t.co/nn42fMj575

You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?)
We going to stand up for our right (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Get up, stand up (in the morning, don't give it up)
Stand up for your right (stand up right now)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (don't give it up, don't give it up)

Get up, stand up (get up, stand up)
Stand up for your right (get up, stand up)
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight (get up, stand up)

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

[Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA]

Let me assure the administration: Los Angeles City and County's elections are safe and secure. All Angelenos receive ballots in the mail, thousands have already voted, there is no need to vote in person so there is no need to send anyone to monitor our Vote Centers. For those few Angelenos who do vote in person they need not fear anything and they should not have to be in fear of their government. Washington DC—we got this!
