In this January 9, 2026 episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth breaks down a brutally difficult week—and the unexpected signs of resistance emerging from it. She covers bipartisan cracks in support for Trump's foreign policy, including Senate action to rein in military escalation in Venezuela and GOP defections on ACA subsidies, while also unpacking disturbing new developments in ICE violence following the murder of Renee Goode. Elizabeth explains what's actually happening behind the scenes legally and politically, why mass organizing still matters, and how sustained community action—not despair or mythical solutions—is already shifting the terrain.

Key Takeaways

  • Bipartisan votes in Congress signal real cracks in Trump's control, especially on war powers and healthcare.

  • The investigation into Renee Goode's killing is not over, despite federal obstruction, and state-level accountability is still possible.

  • ICE shootings follow a clear, repeated pattern—and DHS narratives should be treated with deep skepticism.

  • Calls for a U.S. "general strike" overlook legal, economic, and healthcare realities; mass mobilization and local organizing are the real levers of change.

  • Collective action is already working—from protests and boycotts to corporate and political pressure—and it will continue to matter in the weeks ahead.
