TODAY: A Republican senator has told Axios that Tulsi may not "even survive the committee process" amid concerns over her stance on Assad, Ukraine, and now her support for Edward Snowden.
Sen. Collins has also directly expressed concern over Tulsi's support for Snowden.

Absolutely ludicrous to confirm a Secretary of DEFENSE with bipartisan opposition via a tiebreaker.
This is true in many ways, but comparing to the communications performance of Biden, who essentially was a vegetable since early 2023, is a very low bar to pass

Without hyperbole: every hour that American foreign aid is paused is an hour for China, Russia, or Iran to fill the gap.
This is a gift to the world's worst.

NEW: Five current and former senior European officials briefed on the call said Trump’s phone conversation with Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen about his intent to take over Greenland had gone “very badly,” the Financial Times reports.
“It was horrendous,” said one of the people. Another added: “He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”
Thanks to Trump, our friends and allies can not trust the United States anymore. China and Russia couldn't be happier

END/CIA is also apparently banning lanyards that have to do with affinity groups. Women's Council had to take down website & cancel all events, incl women's history month.
They are also compiling lists of members within affinity groups.
Because that's not reminiscent of 1930s.

Schiff: If the president goes forward with pardoning vast numbers of people involved in January 6 violence, he will begin his new administration the way he ended his last administration, and that is by celebrating violence against our democracy.

NEW: DOJ still charging new Jan. 6 cases, but sources say Trump's election already upended ongoing effort to hold rioters accountable. Plea talks frozen. Misdemeanor cases deprioritized. Morale low. Source said it's like "deck chairs on the Titanic" --> cnn.com/2025/01/05/politics/…

Kash has repeatedly & baselessly suggested that the FBI instigated the Jan 6th attack

The deal Trump cut with congressional Republicans was to cut taxes for his billionaire and corporate friends and cut benefits for seniors on Medicare and poor people on Medicaid.
That's the "one powerful Bill".
The rich stealing from you.
Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back, and make it greater than ever before. We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better - NO TAX ON TIPS. IT WILL ALL BE MADE UP WITH TARIFFS, AND MUCH MORE, FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE U.S. FOR YEARS. Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People. Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

On the morning of Jan. 6, 2021, Trump allies were still scrambling to get fake elector documents from WI & MI to Vice President Pence.
House Republicans last week released new video from Jan. 6 which includes Sen. Ron Johnson R-WI carrying those fake elector documents. 🧵

Trump & his minions can lie as much as they want, but they have never managed to refute any of our work. No one can rewrite history or erase his responsibility for the deadly violence that occurred on J6. We have always stood by the truth, & we will continue to uphold it.

Trump's complaint about flags flying at half staff recalls how he resisted lowering the flag when McCain died. As we reported in "The Divider," his chief of staff John Kelly told him if he didn't, "when you die the public will come to your grave and piss on it." @sbg1

DC officer Daniel Hodges, injured by mob on Jan 6, will attend electoral certification today
Hodges: "It'll be my honor to make it as uncomfortable as possible for the GOP members who try to whitewash that day and lie about what happened and pretend that we didn't save them"

On the anniversary of the insurrection to overthrow the 2020 election, this article shows that Trump’s choice for FBI director promotes conspiracy theories claiming that the FBI—not Trump, the Proud Boys or the mob—was responsible for the mass violence against our democracy.
