NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Jeffries calls this dismantling ‘noise’ while others carry on business as usual as if all of this is the usual trump bs.
Y’all need to PAY ATTENTION
#AmericanSpring2025
LET’S GO‼️‼️‼️
Oh is anyone still going to pay taxes?
"Supreme Court Rules Silence Can Be Evidence of Guilt"
"Guilt by Silence: Anything You Say (or Don’t Say) Can and Will be Used Against You"
Biden should have expanded the Supreme Court - by whatever means - etc... etc... etc...
We kept on going high and look what it got us.
GREAT JOB PRES. TRUMP!!
Arrest and prosecute to the fullest extent!!
Immediate action is called for.
Your silence is deafening.
There has not been a "left wing media" since 2022. All of it was bought up starting in 2018.
Everyone missed the shift when Biden was demonized in 2022
Everyone was horrified in the 2022 shift in coverage from CNN, CNBC, the NYT, WaPo, Politico, etc...remember?
Refusing to seriously cover trumps indictments and court cases, while projecting negativity towards Biden at every opportunity??
Showcasing ANYONE attacking Dems
They will showcase the gossip dems who bash the dems, but give very little air time for dem leadership to push accomplishments
The Dems haven't made a scene about anything the R's have done. They haven't even raised their voices. In fact they've been voting with Republicans.
Sorry people, but from here they look like controlled opposition - to keep you hopeful, polite and feeling virtuous. And neutered.
There is no media for the left wing anymore, at all
THIS exact type of idiotic chaos argument is the perfect example of why no effective messaging CAN occur, no matter what anyone says, some nut will clap back arguing a stance NOBODY was engaged in!
Go away, you're the problem
“There is no media for the left wing anymore, at all”.
#AmericanSpring2025
LET’S GO‼️‼️‼️
Also:
Are you going to give Trump your taxes this year?
That's enough, right?
🙄
Sowing this level of chaos for the American people whose taxes fund the federal government is unforgivable!
Because a statement like that from a Senator should have a plan.
You have agency, not us.
We, with chronic illness, are having a lovely morning.
Pure evil.
Just CRUSHING his constituents while dancing with a smile!
Congress allocates funds for particular things so much of what he is doing is abuse of authority.
Gas first, Walmart next!
Georgia did what was asked in 2020! You let Sinema and Manchin put us in the position of not protecting Voting Rights or Roe v. Wade, again no consequences.
We can’t always be the ones getting screwed and steamrolled!!
We can just call the new party this.
And Greenland hasn't been robbed off Denmark yet.
The term Third World arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact

There must be an immediate push back!
1 million to covid.
He's disqualified and you know it and you won't do shit.
Just like Goldschmidt you let a rapist rule and ignore the innocent exonerated whistleblower in your mentions and the people suffering.
Pathetic
We elected Democrats to have a voice and to utilize whatever power is available to them, on our behalf. I voted for you.
At this point, it seems like our representatives are just as powerless as we are — if not more so!
They cede the messaging, the administrative obstruction, the lawsuits and investigations, all of the means at their disposal to the GOP.
Too much yin "decorum" and fairness.
Not enough hardball. It's maddening.

What are the precise actions you’re expecting?
They’ve filed tons and tons of lawsuits challenging everything legally which is the only recourse. Other than that the only thing we can do is revolution, and that’s on the people not the politicians.
They haven't even done *that*
It's because this is what they said they were gonna do.
This is what they want: Kids not getting their medicare payments.
I mean, you can only judge by actions, right?
1. Oppose all nominees.
2. Reject unanimous consent requests.
3. Vote NO on all Cloture and Procedural Votes.
4. Request quorum calls at every opportunity.
Elected Democrats at least *claim* to care about the awful things Trump and his cronies are doing.
Which they are right now.
Yes, they can be obstinate and resist in procedural formalities -and maybe even have a win here and there- when the Repugnian majority falls short. But that's it then.

Voting for any Trump nominee is collusion. Do not be Vichy France, do not sell out.
This is who they are.
DEEDS NOT WORDS
SHOW US WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY
Get a million people to the streets!
They screwed up!
Its time.
Half the US needs immediate, effective action - not words, action! - from the Dems
Action, and posts about action. About how to organize. About what to do to work immediate change.

He's already a mass murderer and has been one for years.
Stay mad!
Immer Aerger!!!! ✊
This civil dithering and polite concern is useless.
This is an emergency, people. Life or death.
At the very least AOC has been clocking her own party for that...
The U.S. Constitution expressly grants each house of Congress the power to “punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.” LET'S DO THIS! 2/3 in 2026!
Trump needs to be removed from office for the safety of the country but nobody seems to care enough to get that in motion.
It’s time for the Adults to put a stop to the melee going on in the daycare. Musk needs to leave town, Trump needs to be put in his place and the Dems need to grind government to a standstill.
Help us, Obi Wan. You’re our only hope.
Are you going to fight or quit?
Wagging your finger?
Concerned?
Lead or leave.
What is the fckng plan?
People are dying.
I’m just spit-balling here, but maybe it is time to shit on your Senate protocol.
Get a grip on the problem here

It's always the states that act.
Do not depend on the rubber stamp brigade to fix it - they WANT this.
Its up to the Dems to actually fucking fight it. And they are failing
Prevent this
Shame
Expose
Harass
Whatever
If nothing else for their own selfish reasons.
Right now, politicians who actually give a damn have to do both.
If you can’t recognize this as eugenics then you have no place in leadership…anywhere.
Don't get sick. And if you do, just die.

Is the Democratic party unable to stop this very very obvious coup?
Organize other dems. Oppose the fascists.
Stand up. Speak out.
i am unclear how screaming in Republicans' faces is going to help
regardless of the feasibility of your other two suggestions they are not "speaking out"
But they haven't. Because they never bothered to strategize for this moment
Posting this on Bluesky or Twitter doesn't change the fact.
Voting to block him and/or bring a measure to defeat him will do something. That's what she's talking about.

An organization that knew that bipartisanship for its own sake is a Trojan Horse.
An organization that recognizes that the Republican Party is the engine of our destruction.
I’d vote & knock doors for an organization like that…
Mr. President is NOT running the show. I know we are the majority, but damn, reach up your sleeves and pull SOMETHING.
It's all about the 11

What are your solutions?
Mine is that we collectively march on our White House and demand this disqualified POS leave now.
Your turn.
Look at other countries where the populace is/were halting autocratic behavior.
Georgia, Serbia, Brazil, Poland, South Korea, Ukraine, Slovakia.
Let them feel the discontent of the people.
A. Continue touting bipartisanship
B. Ignore the noise (fascism) and stick to kitchen table issues
C. Blame progressives for their election loss
D. Stick with useless consultants from Clinton/Obama era
E. Nothing at all
F. All of the above
Altho, even with T-rmp gone, there are the dastardly minions scurrying about like mice on crack, laying waste to laws & the Constitution.
We could gather evidence Mush cheated in the swing states by hacking voting machines as 🍊 said recently, & declare that election null & void.
So what are you DOING about it?
They're democrats, not doormats.
Funny how that happened, isn't it?
Maybe a few of them have been getting calls, emails, messages on social media demanding that they DO SOMETHING, instead of just bleating like children on social media about what they're LETTING him do?
The democrats are powerless because they don't want power. They want to sit back and fundraise forever with no responsibility.
States can withhold federal tax withholding and use it to fund their programs. States can have their pension plans defund Trump’s backers’ companies.
Lots of power can be deployed!
I’m SICK of this.
THIS WAS AN ACT OF VIOLENCE.
DO YOU NEED THAT FUCKING EXPLAINED TO YOU?
PEOPLE. WILL. DIE.
THAT. IS. THEIR. INTENT. <---THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART YOU NEED TO START YELLING.
If you can't STOP being polite about this violence, then you might as well be COMPLICIT.
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin’
