- If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

- Yesterday, DHS dropped off this memo in my office claiming that federal agents can enter people’s homes using so-called “administrative warrants” not signed by judges. This is not how the Constitution works. The Fourth Amendment does not disappear because someone is undocumented.
- There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein. There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.
- The FBI raid on the Fulton County election office isn’t about security. It’s about reopening a lie that courts, recounts, and investigations already settled. Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That fact has not changed.
- If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.
- Anti-ICE protests held across the U.S. amid ‘general strike’. "Photos show crowds of demonstrators holding signs that said 'ICE Out' and gathering in Los Angeles, Washington, DC, New York City, Boston, and Minneapolis, among other cities." www.businessinsider.com/anti-ice-out...
- Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

- Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"
- "They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

- I’ve reached out to both Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar following the latest shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota. Marylanders have witnessed this cruelty in our own communities – during a school drop-off in Salisbury and in Glen Burnie on Christmas Eve. These are not isolated incidents.
- You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

- I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”
- Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

- Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

- LEAVITT: Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed? REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

- Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"
- “The President of the United States is a criminal. He’s not just a convicted criminal. He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th. He is running the government like a mob operation.“
- Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

- Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
