@SenAdamSchiff Well you do know you and @SenateDems could simply DENY a Quorum and that would essentially STOP all Confirmation hearings
And this isn’t a crazy idea because SenateGOP threatened (and did) the very same thing —Trump’s 35 day Government shutdown
So SHUT IT DOWN
Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur.
Or BOTH.
As my time as Secretary of Transportation concludes, I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished: tens of thousands of infrastructure projects, millions of manufacturing and construction jobs, & stronger, more resilient communities across America. Thank you for this opportunity to serve.
Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.
Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.
BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly exposes MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson for doing Donald Trump's bidding in a "shameful" way that greatly endangers our national security.
Republicans are growing more insane and Jeffries refuses to remain silent...
Johnson wants to remove a member of his own party from the top position on the House Intelligence Committee — all because he doesn't perfectly line up with Trump's beliefs.
"Mike Turner is a serious, thoughtful and highly-principled leader, whose work as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee has been extremely impactful,” Jeffries said of the Ohio Republican.
"Throughout his time in the House of Representatives, Chairman Turner has upheld his oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies and championed our national security interests,” he continued.
"Mike Turner has robustly promoted the safety of the American people and the Free World and his unjustified ouster is likely being applauded by our adversaries in Russia and China," Jeffries went on.
"Shameful," he added.
Johnson's removal of Mike Turner as committee chairman is a blatant attempt to pander to President-Elect Trump, who would of course prefer a more deranged MAGA fanatic on the crucial committee.
Turner has voiced strong support for NATO in the past and believes in helping Ukraine fight back against Vladimir Russia's brutal invasion — views that are odds with Trump's pro-Putin worldview.
Not only that, but Turner was among the small number of Republicans who voted against Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona and Pennsylvania. In other words, he's paying the price for doing the right thing.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Hakeem Jeffries for standing up to MAGA at every opportunity — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Thanks to one disastrous 2010 Supreme Court ruling, wealthy mega-donors, corporations, and special interest groups have been able to influence elections when that power should belong with the American people.
This has eroded faith in the government’s ability to deliver for the people and their families. Dark money should have no place in our democracy.
It is time to return power to the people, and overturn Citizens United once and for all.
#EndCitizensUnited
Welcome to the 119th! America, y’all seriously voted for this clown show to continue?! 🤯
Tune in for all the drama on CSPAN. Remember, 2 years ago things got physical on the R side as they tried to get a speaker. Who knows what will happen this time.
If 2 people, Massie plus one, don’t vote for Johnson, we won’t have a speaker & won’t swear in, until we do 🤦🏾♀️.
If Dems had the house, we’d have speaker Jeffries in the first round!
Happy New Congress, everyone!
Proud to return to the U.S. Capitol to support @HakeemJeffries for Speaker and work to Save Our Health Care, defend our most vulnerable communities, protect our planet and advance our freedoms. -NP
Judges matter – they shape our everyday lives, preserve our freedoms, and defend our liberties.
The 235 federal judges I've appointed aren't Biden judges – they are American judges.
I know these men and women will continue to uphold our founding principles for decades to come.
Social Security is the most important and successful program to fight poverty in America’s history — but now Republicans are trying to cut it and raise the retirement age.
We must fight to protect and expand Social Security, not defund it.
Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are no longer in the Senate.
But the damage they've done to our political system on behalf of Big Money will linger for years.
Memo to Democrats: you can't win back working class voters by following corporate cronies like Manchinema.
The Biden-Harris administration is enacting a new rule requiring subscription services, including gym memberships, to offer “one click to cancel.”
It goes into effect on January 14th.
