Senator Schatz, @schatz.bsky.social, rejects idea that Dems should wait for Trump to touch 'most popular' programs to fight.
"I'm not going to just wait until they touch the ACA. That's the kind of pundit-brain, poll-tested bullshit that got us into this mess."

Iz… Iz our Congresscritterz finally learning/listening?
🥲🥹
Somebody, anybody get me a camera! 🥳
Why are Democrats still listening to Axelrod & Carville?
They can't accept that THEY'RE OLD.
I still say that trying to stretch the Baby Boom until 1964 is really pushing it.
Except for a very few outliers, those aren’t the children of WW2 vets anymore: the OG “Baby Boom.”
Harris’s mom and dad were born in 1938. Tim Walz’s mom and dad were born in 1935 & 1929, respectively. All of them would be considered Silent Generation (1928-1945).
I’m solidly mid-GenX (1972), and my folks were born in 1939 and 1943.
They haven’t moved on.
That was my point.
A couple of people answer that ppl should listen b/c they advised successes of the two most recent Democratic presidents.
But that was then. Things are a little different now.

Exactly. That kind of bullshit has been a disaster for Democrats for years now. Quit paying consultants and do something.
Go @schatz.bsky.social
We have to pre-empt all of their BS.
No waiting.
This is it, pollsters presume you can't MAKE NEW DEMOCRATS.
But also Musk et al are already in Medicaid and Medicare. Some of the gov folks my teams work with have already announced they're leaving (basically under duress). So we're well beyond just USAID at this point.
So what programs are Dems going to ignore
Which are unimportant enough that they don't protect them

This little tune is running in my head

GoP - we will do everything we can to make our goals popular
Dems - Why are we losing?
There are so many ways that USAID benefits Americans in the US and the country as a whole.
At least someone is willing to
DO SOMETHING NOW
Then later they'll hit the ACA, and say, well, we did this same thing here, here, and here. So, it's legal by precedent.
You must stop this at the line, allow no precedents.
People like to feed starving kids. But Dems are too dumb to use words that help us. They gotta use whatever words they say
However.... what if they only did it to Blue zip codes? Selectively targeting those who oppose the dictatorship would be damned effective. "not happening to me so it's okay"
The Dems should be a brick wall of “NO!” and calling out everything the regime does.
They are so trusting and naive it’s embarrassing.
The all nighter in the Senate was the first action that’s been reported
Thank you.
Glad you're stepping up.
Hopefully the Republican will start remembering what their values used to be, these actions are going to affect them. 💙
House Democrats say Elon Musk 'has absolutely no business' handling Americans' private info
@schatz.bsky.social and other Ds had best seize it now for at least 2 reasons
Reverse flow of the zone flooding
Prepare citizens to reject Trump if he invokes Insurrection Act
Yeah, that's logical. 🙄
I would pardon them of their crimes but only after they have been castrated.
“The Rs invent the stories and the polling follows”
DO THAT.
Caucus and make Senator Schatz @schatz.bsky.social the new Minority Leader.
Sen Schumer is clueless.
Quick and to the point.
Is the sort of stuff we need.
The time is NOW.
