Call your Senators 202-224-3121. Yes, especially if your MOC's are Repubs. They should be reminded that we are paying attention to what they're doing!

On Zohran Mamdani being called a ā€œDemocratic Socialistā€ - it’s an old Republican talking point. It’s what the Republicans call us whenever they don’t agree with something. Forget about the labels and focus on the policies. Here’s what Pete said back when he was running for president:

"An early announcement of the next Fed chair could allow whoever Trump picks to influence expectations about the path for interest rates, which could undermine Powell during the final months of his term." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Senate Dems and their staff are KILLING IT when it comes to pleading their case to the Senate Parliamentarian and getting key aspects of the GOP's awful budget bill subjected to a 60-vote threshold. www.axios.com/2025/06/26/s...

"Some of the programs targeted under the OMB review would include a rapid response team meant to support pro-democracy activists abroad who may require urgent relocation or other protection if their lives are deemed to be in danger." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A friend sent this to me. Take a listen. We need to ask all candidates tough questions like this to know them well before we vote in the 2026 primary elections. I hope this candidate can address this issue before the primary election. We must do our homework. #scpol www.tiktok.com/@bwabits/vid...

Ohio peeps - those in west central areas near Dayton, Troy, Springfield may need help protecting Haitian communities. Perhaps you can pick up some tips from our California friends on how to keep these innocent people safe. Call DeWine and demand he protect these people who have done nothing wrong.

🚨🚨🚨 Medicaid activists bound to wheelchairs have been arrested for staging a sit-in at the Russel Senate Office building. These people’s lives literally depend on Medicaid, yet Republicans want to take it away from them. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid when they are sick and get the treatment they need. But trump and the GOP want to slash Medicaid so they can give tax cuts to the wealthy. Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them #DontBombMedicaid

He is an ā€˜unclean antichrist figure’ (like all dictators are) who is completely incapable of controlling his ill temperament, while lacking or maintaining any type of decorum, or any modicum of professionalism, let alone, self-awarenessā€¦šŸ‘‡ None, zero, zilch, nada. Simply put: He really sucks! šŸ˜ŽāœØ

How is the outrage not greater? How are so many of us not living anything close to our best lives and just going along with it. There are more of us than the elite. It’s time to rise up. Call your legislators. Put them on notice. We deserve so much better. Don’t Bomb Medicaid #MomSky

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking & inhumane. The proposal by Republican extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 #DontBombMedicaid #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE

Hey #SimiValley #Moorpark patriots!! This is a great opportunity to share your feelings about what is happening in your community! šŸ‘‡šŸ¼šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

Its down to the wire. The Senate will start voting as early as tomorrow - Friday. Please call your Senators and say NO to this massive budget bill which cuts Medicaid, rural hospitals and nursing homes, and destroys our democratic framework. 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...

Reminder that Trump doesn’t believe in climate change. He has signed 16 bills related to rolling back EPA regulations since coming back into office. Two of them were related to refrigeration. Science matters, just not to him.

Senate Rs are racing to pass the BIG UGLY BILL by July 4th, but the debate over hospitals, taxes, etc. is threatening the goal of passing it before the week is done. šŸ—£ļøTell your friends who don't follow news. šŸ“ž Ask others to join you in calling. ā° 24/7!! āž”ļø(202) 224-3121ā¬…ļø www.npr.org/2025/06/25/n...

It's official. With no notifications to National Science Foundation employees, Trump is moving the HUD in and NSF out. There is no announced plan where to send NSF. Science is being deported by the Trump administration. share.google/LVmoUjzPK0zR...

WATCH as the DC police ARREST people in wheelchairs in the Russell Senate Office Building! They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This was fun!! Propose an Amendment To Delay and Disrupt the Reconciliation Bill act.indivisible.org/letter/amend...

My heart is breaking in ways I didn’t know were possible—but I’m holding onto outrage. Two U.S. teens were dragged from their home in SoCal as federal agents shattered windows, hurled flashbangs, & took their parents. This is cruelty. This is terrorism. And it’s happening on our soil. F*ck ICE.

šŸŽ§ Nathan's cerebral palsy makes his life very challenging, but his disease doesn't define him. Because of Medicaid, he's able to work a F/T job & enjoy a loving relationship. If Republicans get their way, that could all change. 😭 So NO, Mitch, #WeWONTGetOverLosingMedicaid!

Tell Sen. Schumer to Do Whatever It Takes to Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam act.indivisible.org/sign/drag-th...

Are you frigging kidding me? Medicaid activists bound to wheelchairs have been arrested for staging a sit in at the Russel Senate Office building. These people’s live literally depend on Medicaid that Senate Republicans want to cut. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid Unbelievableā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

Law enforcement has been sent to silence disabled Americans peacefully protesting in the Senate—because Republicans are trying to rip away the Medicaid that keeps them alive. This is cruelty, plain & simple. We see you. We won’t be silent. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social

No, Mitch! Americans will NOT just get over losing Medicaid... #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Some good news šŸŽ‰ Federal workers retain the right to collective bargaining Losing collective bargaining would’ve made it easier to fire feds and block unions from challenging Trump administrative moves in court. A big win for federal workers—and for the rest of us who rely on them

Where the hell do we live?! Americans in wheelchairs are being ARRESTED at the Capitol—for daring to demand healthcare and fight for Medicaid. This is what a dying democracy looks like: cruelty for the poor, handcuffs for the disabled. Shame on every damn one of them. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
