Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances:

“I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

I saw January 6 with my own eyes.

The people who attacked our Capitol are violent criminals.

We won’t let them erase history.

Dear @realDonaldTrump:

You are an adjudicated digital rapist. Nothing can change that, because it's a fact. And the evidence was not contested—because you were too scared to testify.

Feel free to come after me, too.

Best,
George

P.S. Fuck you.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

These days I’m at a loss for words. The new corruption scandal is just bananas. Trump has been using inside information to trade stocks and make millions. And the scale of the trading is just mind blowing.

Here’s what we know.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.

Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

New: About three months before the Pentagon announced plans to lend $620 million to Vulcan Elements, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm took an undisclosed stake in the company. https://t.co/pvAqedZCSp

NEW: 40+ Colorado sheriffs are pushing back on GOP gov candidate Scott Bottoms' unsupported claims of 50k Venezuelan gang members in Colorado.

Also, the US govt estimates Tren de Aragua has no more than 5k members worldwide.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term.

Let me be clear: We cannot endure another 32 months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, want to be dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder.

Not only can we stand up and fight back—we must.

Join our campaign so we can take this fight to Congress to impeach, convict, and remove Trump and his cabinet.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Stone cold racism on a scale I have NEVER seen in my lifetime is happening in real time. 

Louisiana Governor Landry suspended a primary election — where tens of thousands of people had ALREADY VOTED — to redistrict and eliminate Black representation.

Our country is supposed to be about the expansion of liberty and freedom. We're seeing the exact opposite.

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.

As congressional Republicans accuse climate scholars and lawyers of colluding to influence the judiciary, a symposium hosted by a center funded by the fossil fuel industry educates judges about free-market views of climate science.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

Bingo.

Bias and discrimination can be proved in court by evidence of a pattern of outcomes, so there’s no reason we shouldn’t look at the Supreme Court’s ‘Republicans-and-fossil-fuel-always-win’ pattern of outcomes.

Confederate states are rushing through rigged maps to erase Black districts off the map.

If this doesn’t make you angry, it should.

This is a Pulitzer level photo.

JEFF PEARLMAN: “What’s happening in Tennessee is so disgraceful. It is so racist. Not just a little racist… you’re basically saying to Black people — you have no voice. Your voice doesn’t matter.”

It's hard to retain employees at a workplace that expects to get dismantled.
