Murkowski becomes the first Senate Republican to say she will vote against Hegseth. "I cannot in good conscience support his nomination for Secretary of Defense." Hegseth can afford to lose two more but not three. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Trump revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965.

The federal government can now discriminate based on race, religion, and gender.

Pure evil.

🚨 Russia is carrying out a shadow war on NATO.

Attacks include arson & signal jamming to assassination attempts & hacks.

Their aim is to destabilize, distress & deter the alliance in order to negatively impact support for Ukraine.

Russia is escalating its dangerous shadow war against NATO, and there are fears it could get a lot worse
Russia is believed to be behind dozens of hybrid attacks, like arson or sabotage, on NATO soil since the Ukraine war started.

I’m not used to Bluesky and couldn’t post this correctly so I stuck to the headline.

I know everyone reading this is probably having a tough time right now. It’s truly a horrible day for America. But you’re not alone. We’ve built a massive grassroots coalition of folks here who feel just like you do—and we’ve got your back.
You Are Not Alone. We've Got Your Back.

Presidents can’t overrule the Constitution and centuries of precedent with a stroke of a pen.

I'm leading a coalition of 18 states in suing to stop Trump's unlawful EO banning birthright citizenship.

When we say we will fight for the rule of law, we mean it.

A decision just came in on TikTok from the Supremes.
Its ban is effectively starting on 1/19/25.

I wish I could figure out how to do things properly on this app.
I can’t find a post I thought I had posted.
I just don’t have the time right now. Arghh

Watching President Jimmy Carter’ body being brought to the Capitol in the Caisson and Riderless horse following.
I was overcome with sadness seeing Mike Johnson. He disturbed the silence and mourning of a good man. Watching him speaking sickens me.

“Trump refused to rule out using military force to retake the Panama Canal, which was returned by treaty decades ago, and acquire Greenland, which Mr. Trump said was necessary for U.S. national security.”
He’s insane truly and without a doubt.

DOGE is nothing. They are not a committee, they’re not a department, and they aren’t recognized as any of the aforementioned.
Congress hasn’t voted on this supposed committee.
They can say all they want they’re going to do this and that, but they’re not recognized as an agency, committee or dept.

It’s going to take a bit for me to start posting.
But we all know by now MAGA Mike was re-elected as House Speaker. I was hoping that he would have to go through that for a few days.
Despicable party.
