The Secret Service asked to use magnetometers on January 6 because they expected MAGA to bring guns-which they did
Trump's response?
"I don’t effing care that they have weapons. They are not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here"
I joined 140 of my colleagues in the House calling for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. My statement:
Texas,
Vote Jasmine Crockett into the Senate.
Her focus:
-Put people over politics
-Defend constitutional rights
-Fight for working & middle-class Texans
-Expand opportunity beyond the elite
-Make homeownership & business attainable
-Get Washington working for Texans

Just got a call from #T-Mobile They are on the list of companies that support #ICE . They are calling their customers and getting feedback. Give them your honest feedback as I did! The service & price is great BUT I hate the support for #ICE and Leon.
The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes.
Our senators can’t vote to give Trump’s secret police more money to kill innocent people, terrorize our communities, and violate our rights.
Demand that your senators vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads.
Will walk 5 miles uphill in the snow to see it today! Sarcasm
#WheelofTime has indeed (tragically) been cancelled after its best season. But the #savewot movement's petition has been steadily growing on the daily, and just before Christmas reached 230k signatures and it's only been a thing for seven months. The link, if you'd like it: savewot.com
How embarrassing it is to watch our once-esteemed Department of Justice behave like this.
I need a job and so do a few others who just got laid off. I would love to take down this regime in whatever way I can legally.
Congrats to the morally indecent

New data reveals US layoffs in 2025 could surpass Great Recession levels.
If lawmakers are walking out of these briefings shaken, that tells you everything. This wasn’t a ‘split-second decision’ or a fog-of-war moment. It was the killing of unarmed, distressed individuals, and the American people deserve full accountability.
They can go right ahead. They can go pay their billionaire MAGA businesses top dollar for goods. It will continue to make their cost of living go higher and God forbid they get laid off. There have been many layoffs in Nov and Dec and many more planned for early 2026.
An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.
Just fucking pathetic.
This is the price hike that a father from Neenah will have to pay next year if Republicans keep going down this path and refuse to act. This is what thousands of Wisconsinites are bracing for.
Ahead of tomorrow's CDC Vaccine Committee meeting, I made clear Republicans MUST compel RFK Jr. to answer to the Senate Health Committee for his anti-vaxx crusade.
Vaccines save lives. And the American people deserve science-led decisions from the CDC.
Right on, we are not supposed to believe what our eyes read, huh?
What is going on with republican men? www.rawstory.com/cory-mills-2...
What the actual fuck….
NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.
"My healthcare plan is to bankrupt the insurance companies. And then people can buy their own health insurance from, umm, ur, I haven't figured that part out yet. I'll tell you in two weeks."
Trump’s plan risks worsening educational opportunities for rural families and the poor, creates needless opportunities for the further enrichment of the wealthy, and drastically cuts support for public education. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-republ...
New Billboard just erected in Times Square:
This cannot be overstated – we need an experienced and Senate-confirmed FEMA Administrator who is prepared and able to protect millions of lives.
Enough with this dangerous, non-committal governing. Trump needs to send a qualified nominee to the Senate ASAP.
Make no mistake, Trump is not seeking justice, he’s seeking cover.
It’s simple. Congress either votes to protect pedophiles or they don’t. That choice will sit on their record forever.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
NEW: Washington may have folded to Trump, but there is one powerful, underused tool that could stop him: collective state action. By pooling resources, harmonizing policies and coordinating responses, states can help build a future worth fighting for, @gabygoldstein.bsky.social writes.
