NEW: Oil lobbyists are trying to get Congress and Trump to give them legal immunity against climate lawsuits. They know they're responsible for billions of dollars in damage and countless lives lost — so they are buy themselves out of liability. wsj.com/business/energy-oil/…

A fantastic quote from the youngest woman ever elected to Congress šŸ‘‡ ā€œWe have inherited an unfair world. We have inherited a world where prior generations of leadership have set the table so that companies get richer and richer, and people's incomes stay the same or get even lower. I refuse to leave an unfair world to generations to come. We will make sure that we leave a different world. One where people can work 40 hours a week, put food on the table, afford their housing, and live a decent life. And if people want to call me 'extreme' for believing that? Bring it on. If you want to call me 'extreme' for thinking any person should have rights over their body? Bring it on. If you want to call me 'extreme' for acknowledging the Congressional Budget Office assessment that immigrants brought in trillions of dollars in U.S. revenue and paid more taxes than Elon Musk or these other folks? Bring it on. We have nothing to fear. There is nothing to fear in moving forward into a better future.ā€ #ResistTrump

🚨 BREAKING: Young people are sitting in at Senator Schumer’s office to demand he stop the GOP’s corrupt budget. This bill guts essential services while giving extremist billionaires unchecked power over our government. If Schumer won’t fight back, he’s complicit. No deals. No cowardice. No sellouts.

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

Yup.
Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

This CR would literally take food out of the mouths of hungry children, take healthcare away from seniors, and give a huge tax break to the wealthiest people on the planet. It cannot pass. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1MnGnworn…

I truly could not be more disappointed with the Democratic Party. They have done nothing but enable Trump to destroy this country. MLK Jr. & John Lewis must be shaking their heads in shame. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace 10 Democrats #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #ImpeachTrumpNOW

Schumer must be replaced. Chris Murphy for Senate Minority Leader - someone who knows how to communicate and meet the moment. Last I checked, he's not a DSA member. It's not about "ideological purity," the strawman used by Democratic Party elites. It's about putting up a fight.
NEWS — Schumer told Dems during closed-door lunch that he would vote for cloture tomorrow morning. Schumer is speaking on the floor shortly. Confirming @nytimes reporting

Too many pundits are missing just how apoplectic the Democratic base is right now. They revile Trump. Revile Musk. They see the economy collapsing. They see DOGE wrecking livelihoods. If Senate Dems don’t stand up and say enough is enough, this party is at a breaking point.

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.
Elon Musk’s net worth is up 50% since the election. Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, & X are cashing in—to the tune of $613 BILLION. The world's richest man is gutting government agency after agency all to grease the skids for his companies & further cement his power. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

I have a message for Trump supporters: First, focus not on what he says, but what he does. Second, if you believe in the Constitution, you cannot support the richest guy in the world unilaterally cutting programs that were authorized by Congress.

šŸ‡²šŸ‡½ Mexico’s President Claudia argues that if cartels are terrorists, then those supplying their weapons—over 74% of which come from the U.S.—should be held accountable for aiding terrorism. In response, Mexico will expand its lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers. She also proposed a constitutional reform to impose the harshest possible punishment on foreigners involved in arms trafficking or any form of interventionism in Mexico, reinforcing national sovereignty against external interference.

🚨Trump and Musk said their illegal hiring freeze wouldn't hurt Veterans. They LIED. All across the country, VA employees are reporting that essential programs - such as healthcare and the suicide hotline - are being impacted. READ MORE: federalnewsnetwork.com/veter…

It’s called dictatorship.
New Trump executive order issued last night says the president "shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch." whitehouse.gov/presidential-… "The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch. The President and the Attorney General’s opinions on questions of law are controlling on all employees in the conduct of their official duties. No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.ā€
