The upcoming congressional recess will fall in the middle of GOP efforts to craft a massively unpopular reconciliation bill that guts Medicaid and SNAP programs to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Our goal is to organize hundreds of rallies to turn up the heat on Republicans: indivisible.org/muskorus

Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Jeffries: FL-01, Trump won by 37 points. In FL-06, Trump won by 30 points. These are deeply Republican districts. Why in the world were they even competitive?...As a result, they spent millions and millions to try to stop an embarrassment from happening. And they were still embarrassed.

@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social: "Yes, I am in. I am running for U.S. Senate... We're not going backwards. We are going forward, and we are rebuilding what it means to be a Democrat and what it means to be a Michigander, in a way that hopefully the rest of the country is going to take notice of."

Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz just claimed at a town hall that people in America are not guaranteed the constitutional right to due process: “You break the law, you don't have due process.”

I know it’s obvious and everyone has pointed this out but the richest man in the world is giving out million dollar checks to buy an election and also going “watch out: there’s a rich guy trying to influence this election!”

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence." The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed. The law refers simply to "national defense information."

Gratifying to know that the DOD is being run with all of the care, expertise, maturity, and competence of a group of middle schoolers egging an old guy’s house. It’d be hilarious if it weren’t, you know, for nukes and stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?

Saying it again, Putin doesn’t want peace and Trump’s approach damages prospects for a ceasefire. Trump is pressuring Ukraine and Europe, cutting military aid and winding-down cooperation. And there are deep fissures forming in our alliance with NATO.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

The Social Security Administration is cutting 7,000 jobs and closing half of its regional offices. It's no coincidence that Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." They're gutting the program YOU'VE PAID INTO to make room for more billionaire tax cuts. Now is the time to speak up.

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?
