WATCH: “It was announced as a done deal.”

This @moreperfectunion.bsky.social piece on how Musk’s XAI was forced on MEMPHIS by their own Chamber (Ted Townsend) and the mayor and other leaders, without permits, and is now poisoning their air, is not to be missed.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Thinking of you and sending some healing vibes your way ❤️

Exactly right

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

It's Tuesday, and I'm on my way back to DC. We've got a big week ahead fighting to get Elon out of Treasury, out of our data, and out of government. I’ll be outside treasury today to say:

No unelected billionaire should have control of the government.

“Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again.” Less than 2 weeks into his presidency, how do you now interpret this statement?

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

A little melodramatic, but yes, the trash are predictably starting to slither over from the sewer in desperate search of attention from real people. Remember that block-and-ignore is good civic hygiene. Every reaction, even a hostile one, is a crumb that keeps them around and attracts more.

Pete Hegseth’s Mother Accused Her Son of Mistreating Women for Years (Gift Article) Penelope Hegseth made the accusation in an email to her son in 2018, amid his contentious divorce. She said on Friday that she regretted the email and had apologized to him.

She took it back, but when Sec Def Hegseth's own Mom writes him an email in the middle of a "difficult" divorce accusing him of abusing "many" women, how does the Senate confirm him? Do GOP Senators have any character left, or are they just going to bend the knee? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/u...

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

71% of Americans believe the economy is rigged against them. They’re not wrong.

2023: Top 1% took home 26.5% of the income in the US

Nancy Mace, now targeting transgender lawmaker, called herself ‘pro-transgender rights’ in 2023 | CNN Politics Republican Rep. Nancy Mace as recently as last year called herself “pro-transgender rights” and said she supported children exploring gender identities with different hairstyles, clothing and…

In 2023, Nancy Mace called herself “pro-transgender rights” and said she’s supportive of children who “wanna take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity.” She is a fraud who is grifting off hate. Despicable.

There is not a single state in the US where the minimum wage is equal to the cost of living. There is nowhere in the nation that a single person can support themselves on minimum wage. We cannot accept this as normal.

Dana Goldberg post: I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

They say the cover up is always worse.

How many of these do we have?

The House Ethics Committee has voted not to release the Matt Gaetz report containing credible allegations of sexual misconduct including rape of a minor and sex trafficking.

5 Republicans and 5 Democrats each voted, and the parties deadlocked. Guess which side voted to cover up the crimes?

Tweet from Jasmine Crockett: If @HouseGOP really wanted to protect women, they'd release the Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz' alleged sex trafficking - not try to ban their colleagues from using the bathroom. Stop the bigotry and release the report.

Rep. Jasmin Crockett is always 🔥
