[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

NEW: I just reintroduced my We the People Amendment.

It’s past time to reverse the disastrous Citizens United decision and put power back in the hands of the American people.

Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. Let’s get this done. https://t.co/PWWJX2sZNr

He’s calling people who receive any kind of federal assistance “parasites” while profiting heavily from every single government benefit he can get. The only parasite I see is Elon Musk. I’m so tired and disgusted.

You know the CFPB that the Republicans just shut down?

The Bureau was handling 100s of consumer complaints about . . . Teslas.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

The CFPB isn’t even funded by your tax dollars… and it’s still raking in BILLIONS in recouped money to help defrauded Americans.

The Trump admin isn’t going after it because of “efficiency.” It’s going after it so Elon and other scammers and grifters get a free pass.

NEW: White House has fired the USAID inspector general after his office's blistering report on the consequences of Trump's aid pause. W/ @DavidNakamura and Lisa Rein

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

Kamala Harris did not lose because of pledges or interns at the ACLU 6 years ago. She lost because she was in the admin, people did not like the admin, and she couldn’t fucking answer “how would you be different from Biden” to save her life. No amount of podcasting can fix that.

[Yasha Levine @yashalevine]

How is USAID leftism? It is a CIA cutout set up to fight communism and anti-colonial movements. You mean liberalism, I guess?

New Microsoft study finds that using generative AI at work makes employees' critical thinking skills "atrophied and unprepared"

[barbarism critic @barbarismcrit]

You guys said I wasn’t allowed to expect them to do stuff when Biden had a trifecta. I also can’t expect them to do stuff when they’re in the slim minority.

….So when exactly am I allowed to expect them to do stuff?

[Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior]

Who did it benefit to have people believe Trump was in legal jeopardy and cornered?

TRUMP.

Grifters with histories of fraud, debt, failed careers, and no legal background were recruited by the donor network behind Trump and marketed to credulous Dems -- often with FBI aid.

[Paul Blest @pblest]

A competent opposition party would be using every platform possible to make the case that the richest man in the world is just fully raiding the Treasury right now and rooting around in all of our pockets while canning all of the people who could stop that from happening.

[Paul Knox #MedicareForAll @popsknox]

Democrats carved out a cozy little niche for themselves. Do nothing and wait for people to tire of GOP excess. That’s their entire philosophy. Great for Party bosses and the connected. Horrible for absolutely everyone and everything else.

[Andrea R. Flores @Arosaflores]

Policymakers in both parties should be honest with the electorate about the policies that actually impact border security. The Laken Riley Act is not a border bill, and as Senator Kim helpfully explains, the bill’s provisions run counter to our Constitution.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

The Laken Riley Act isn’t about public safety — it's an attack on constitutional protections and a green light to Trump's mass deportation agenda.

This bill is on its way to the Senate for a vote.

Here's what you need to know to call your Rep. and urge them to VOTE NO ⤵️

[Jeremy Slevin @jeremyslevin]

Pramila Jayapal is one of the most effective Members of Congress and literally won her election by 68 points.

If you don’t think multinational corporations bear any responsibility for climate change, just say so!

[The Fact of Other Minds Stan Acct @csilverandgold]

The #LakenRileyAct says to every American, every undocumented person, every Democrat: Trump was right. His immigration policy was right. We Democrats support Donald Trump immigration. Every right thinking Democrat would do anything not to send that message.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

The DNC will choose a new chair Feb 1. But the names of the members who will vote is secret, even to *other members.*
Until today. We are publishing a list of all 448 voting members of the DNC, to show how power is concentrated & flows inside the national party.

Everyone needs to know that today thousands of mutual aid organizers are keeping LA safe during the fires while having to deal with threats by the police: sweeps on the unhoused in the morning, ICE raids in the afternoon, now an armed National Guard-enforced curfew at night.
