She’s not the only one… The clock is ticking…
Exclusive: The right-wing activist Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former Trump campaign aide and others familiar with the arrangements. wapo.st/4BPQbL5

Big: Kris Kobach, the Kansas attorney general, one of the country’s most notorious far-right figures who charted the way for Trump’s election denialism well before Trump got to it, has lost his reelection bid. Democrat Chris Mann will be new Kansas attorney general, AP calls.

Given Trump has picked Stephen Miller as chief of staff that means Democrats should 100% NOT find common ground with this fascist regime. Miller is reason Renee Good, Alex Pretti and others were killed by ICE. Democrats must investigate Trump regime and pass bills to show people what we are about!

17/Here’s the source of the disappointing Jeffries quote from Wednesday. @RepJeffries please address this and how you are going to defend NATO, and why @jaredkushner is working for Putin. @SenSchumer please explain why you are working on fake UFO laws with Russia/Thiel aligned characters. newrepublic.com/post/217571/…

16/Kushner is selling a “new European Security Architecture” which is Putin-speak for “kill and replace NATO.” If we don’t hear a full-throated defense of NATO, and soon, from Jeffries and Schumer, then you can assume we have a very, very big problem on our hands. As does Europe.

9/Wednesday, fresh off a tremendous victory and a clear mandate from the entire country, Jeffries downplays it: “The American people don’t want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive.” What a dumb and tone-deaf thing to say. First off, let the victory bell ring a second… let the moment breathe. Second off, Americans want to restore the rule of law: we need truth and reconciliation. And that will involve bringing lawbreakers to justice. It’s not about revenge — it’s about restoration, justice, and progress. Jeffries speaks like someone who has Putin and Thiel whispering in his ear. It’s just… not right. Similar to how Jensen Huang was arguing he should sell his best chips to China and we find out he’s sleeping with a Chinese spy.

“Jeffries and Schumer display alarmingly poor judgment as well…”
1/It’s clear that Russia has gained strategic control of the US. Trump and Vance are fully in their grasp, and Massie/MTG/Carlson are following along with Khanna, Luna, and others as backstops. Most worrisome, Jeffries and Schumer display alarmingly poor judgment as well…

This is so wrong The reason “Trump didn’t steal the elections” is because we & the pro-voter coalition stopped him EIGHT times over the past 21 months Here’s how: a thread (1/x)

Yeah. The elections were safe and secure precisely because a cadre of professionals blocked and tackled interference attempts at every turn. If the system is allowed to function, it performs very well; but it doesn’t happen by magic.

Important 🧵
Thank you, Mr. Kushner. Those five principles are important. However, Moscow subscribed to these principles in documents signed in 1975 (Helsinki Final Act) and 1990 (Charter of Paris). The problem isn't agreeing to principles, but Moscow's failure to abide by them. 🧵 /1

"a complete solution." He is the descendent of Holocaust survivors so his use of this phrase is interesting, as is the aestheticization of White supremacist policy as "elegant."
Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller: America’s doors are closed fully to asylum seekers. It’s a very simple, a very elegant, a very… complete solution.

Exactly two years ago today, President-elect Donald Trump claimed he was given a "powerful mandate" despite getting less than 50% of the vote. Today, Democrats will likely have 56 Democratic senators, about 260 Democratic representatives, and 28+ Democratic governors. There has not been this strong a mandate in decades. Democrats need to hammer this point home, every day. youtube.com/watch?v=FDPlAJxI…

I don't want to hear anybody talk about Democratic overreach here! We have an historic mandate to... - Deliver tangible immediate impact to Americans - Expose these corrupt bastards - End Trump's illegal war and dumb tariffs MOVE WITH ENDLESS URGENCY!!
With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

For those who don’t know, a 7-star flag pocket square refers to the First National Flag of the Confederate States of America, known as the “Stars and Bars.”

Democrats need to be prepared to use a different playbook, one that includes inherent contempt, one that abolishes the 5-minute rule, one that meets this moment because with this pick, the WH is on war-footing.
