Script to call your Dem Senators and demand they do not give into pressure on the cloture vote for the CR: Hi, my name is ___ and I’m a constituent from [TownZIP].I’m calling to demand Senator ___ vote no on cloture for the House-passed Continuing Resolution, and move to pass a clean CR instead.

I have said for years and years that Newsom is a vile human who should be run out of the party. Here's just more proof. We cannot let this guy get the nomination for anything again ever.

For those of us who #resist, what are you doing/going to do when they play the anthem at sporting events?

I stand with Ukraine.

Liberal white women - please stop thinking conservative white women are going to help. They are not.

Had fun at the range today.

Call and demand that all these databases be made public, minus any PII. And yes, this includes contracts for everything, including farmers and military and public health. Make them show us the supposed waste. Make them explain why we can't have it if this is just an audit.

Your daily "but what can I do" suggestion: A specific ask for our Congress critters. The DOGE twits are going into a lot of databases, including those for government contracts, grants and agreements. That is information that should be public anyway. 🧵

A helpful video on your legal rights around ICE, done by an actual lawyer. It's in English and Spanish. youtu.be/frkiz7tTK-c?...

I'd really like to know if anyone is filing a qui tam suit against Musk for getting the info of his competitors from the Treasury.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.
