Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do. As the president’s β€œLiberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

The last three Republican presidents wrecked the economy. The last three Democratic presidents had to fix things. newrepublic.com/article/1933...

Disruption is all they seem to understandβ€”so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Republicans tried to illegally freeze Medicaid and Nicole Malliotakis thought it was a great idea. We sent a protest truck to her offices in Staten Island and Brooklyn.

FOLLOW for more as we hold Republicans accountable for criminal Trump's attacks in their home districts.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

"It'd be an insult to the Capitol Police and the rule of law, and to our nation," she said. "I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. I don't want to be a part of contributing to them trying to rewrite history-that January 6 was not an insurrection. It was, it was a riot. And I think taking a pardon is like a message that what happened that day was OK."

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon.

At every corner, we must oppose these baseless attacks on the trans community. The fascist playbook looks to blame the issues created by billionaires and spineless politicians on certain groups of people. Trump has selected trans folks and immigrants. We can’t give an inch on the bigotry. Onwards ✊🏾

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, β€œOnly the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
