WATCH: Moments ago... Erica Lee Carter, the daughter of the late Congresswoman, Sheila Jackson Lee, is sworn in to fill her mother's seat for the remainder of the 118th Congress CW39

Trump keeps saying he’s “appointed” people or that they “will serve” as cabinet level officials. WRONG — the Constitution REQUIRES approval from the Senate — but Project 2025 pushes for President to seize control and bypass the Senate. Do NOT let them get away with this.

every trump appointment is like "Donald Trump has appointed the Grinch as director of the Department of Christmas"

Matt Gaetz has at least three DUIs, his college roommate “died mysteriously,” and at one point he was on the verge of going to prison for raping children. So who better to be trump’s choice for Attorney General. We are so utterly and completely fucked.

Dems are like, “we take institutions seriously so we’ll nominate Merrick Garland who will be meticulous and slow so no one will ever suspect him of political bias” and GOP is like “LOL MATT GAETZ AS AG”

Never forget: Kevin McCarthy said, “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old.” That member is Matt Gaetz.

The Senate *hates* Matt Gaetz. This is going to be an early check on whether or not they’ll be a realistic check on Trump’s power or if they’ll just roll over and do what he wants. But the fact that a rumored coked up pedo was even nominated for AG is insane.

Matt Gaetz pick is so crazy people have forgotten the Tulsi Gabbard pick which was so crazy people had forgotten about the Pete Hegseth pick. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

This is Rep. Michael Guest, chair of the House Ethics Committee. His committee was scheduled to vote on releasing a damaging report on Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz prior to his resignation. RETWEET if you think Congressman Michael Guest should release the Gaetz report!

The New Zealand government is pulling back on protecting Māori rights, sparking protests from indigenous lawmakers who oppose the decision with their traditional “haka” chant. This is powerful.

The Onion retaining InfoWars’ low trust audience but slowly shifting the ideological content of their conspiracy theories to be left wing (“Donald Trump did 9/11”) could be the key to how Democrats win back the Crank Vote lmao

I say this with every fiber of my being: Put your oxygen mask on first. Fascists are about to throw all sorts of f*ckery at you, and if you want to help others, you need to take care of yourself first. Please 🙏🏾. Over the next two months, put together a self-care plan that

RFK Jr. went to Samoa in June 2018, spreading anti-vax disinfo and boosting a local anti-vaxxer In November 2018, Samoa had a huge measles outbreak, exacerbated by anti-vax disinfo 83 people died - mostly children How many American children are about to die because of RFK Jr.?

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!

Vaccines are good actually.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it's not just spinelessness, it's complicity.

Democrats need to stop playing by the rules that no longer exist.

I guess I’m now where the skies are blue. bsky.app/profile/curren…
