No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:
“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”
She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal.
Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data.

The next Congress will have 150 women (down slightly from 152 in the current Congress).
All told, 42% of incoming Democratic members will be women, just 15% of incoming Republicans.

Has the number of women in Congress hit a ceiling?
Neither party made significant gains in 2024, and Republican women still lag behind.

The American West broke records this election, with New Mexico and Colorado joining Nevada to become the only three states where women make up the majority in state legislatures.
This pattern stems back to when these states were being formed.

The women of the west are making political history — and have been for 130 years
Even before women had the right to vote, they were winning elections in the West. Now they're breaking barriers in three states with majority women-led legislatures.

They’re also counting on us to remain enmeshed in factional in-fighting and blame games while they consolidate and expand power.
It’s worth keeping that in mind while we work through our emotions about the election results.
