Congressional Republicans are willing to do anything–cut funding for medical research, slash nursing home services for seniors–just to give a tax cut to billionaires.

And congressional democrats ARE NOT willing to do anything. Except censure the one of you that didn’t exhibit decorum with fascists. Fuckkkkk you COWARD
You need to bash on something else…Repugs don’t care what hat billionaires get tax cuts…they haven’t paid in years. Y’all need to talk about immediate impacts on daily life.
Keep in mind, this ad is for the middle of the road voters. They have no idea what is going on because they don't keep up with politics like all of us do. I think it is a very effective message.
Hey, Cory do you know how many seniors I’ve heard from today worried about social security, here’s a better one to ponder how many of them have relatives that are ethical hackers, those checks better not stop for our parents!
Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country.

I urge you to CAUCUS WITH Democrats to restore some balance of power and save America NOW!
I respect you & many of your Dem colleagues VERY MUCH, Sen Booker. But to us out in wilderness of this chaos it feels like our party is bringing a teaspoon to a knife fight.
I've always advocated for Dr King's civil disobedience, but he also took fight to its source. Time to cross the bridge again.
He's not "cutting funding," he's eliminating our entire national health and safety infrastructure. DESTROYING the CDC. DEMOLISHING the NWS. CRIPPLING the NIH.
I wouldn't say agency names like FEMA. People hate the government so don't remind them of it. Instead focus on the agency function - disaster recovery relief. It's done well for other topics, this one just stood out to me.
THE DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN COMPLY!!!
You meet their aggression with more. You meet their fire with an inferno. You scream. You disrupt. You remove these people from power by any legal means necessary. You use EVERY tool!!!!! EVERY bit of leverage!!!!!
Based on the amount of fight I have seen in most of you, it’d be fair to say that a lot of senate dems are just fine with what this administration is doing
Arrest him and Vance for treason. Arrest musk for any number of unlimited crimes he's committed including throwing the election. Do something and stop this.
I’m going to say it again, Republicans have their strawman of “waste, fraud, and abuse” tag line I think Democrats need one that can be easily understood and spread across all platforms and can be used during every interview and speech. For example, “Taxes, tariffs, and terminations”.
Republicans would use that against Democrats so fast it would turn most of them into a scrambling mess trying to explain themselves instead of forcing Republicans to explain their own shit.
I think people treat Republicans like they know what they are doing. They are in power because they started saying whatever bullshit hate that popped into their heads and Democrats responded with focus groups.
Don't think about what the opposition will do, think about what we can do then do it.
That’s what I mean by over explaining. Democrats have a term they define it, republicans turn around and redefine it with simple scary language. As a lot of us in the Black community say, we need an uno reverse. Which is to use their words the same way with simple language that can’t be manipulated.
I hear you. I don't know. Creativity and intensity can get you out ahead of it, but I don't think there is a way to reverse it. Reclaiming words works to an extent. I think "woke" was as clear and simple as it gets, but they still muddied it. I think they are the destroyers and we are the creators.
Who wrote this? I could write a more persuasive ad in the 5th grade. "Want to" does not express the urgency of our current moment. You need urgency & reassurance and this is neither.
@corybooker.com I will be attending your, Andy Kim’s, and Pallone’s next town hall to demand you take action. Dems seem to have an “oh well” attitude here.
This is nothing new it's what got us to this situation. They needed to actually do something when they dismantled the Constitution. It's over now. Maybe in 20-30 years there will be an uprising to try to bring Democracy back.
Cory, we are now past just talking about his ill fated policies and the impact they have on Americans and the world. We need people with large voices and audiences to start the campaign to rid ourselves of this guy. WE need to band together to oust him from office. It wont be pretty. Now is the time
PASS THE WORD!
It just occurred to me what elected Dems can do tonight that's both effective and purposeful...
They should loudly BOO whenever Republicans clap for Trump. They are not technically booing the POTUS, they are booing the clapping & cheering asskissers.
I have always been impressed by his wealth of knowledge, work ethic, and his unwavering commitment to our country. I have no doubt that he is fully qualified and capable to lead the State Department, so I voted to support his nomination. I look forward to working with Senator Rubio in the years…”
Are YOU willing to do anything to save our country? In the face of tyranny, in one of the most powerful positions in our country, what are you going to do? We gave you our power. Do something with it. Please. There is only so much we can do. If MLK got to be where you are, what would he be doing?
That's what happens when you let them end our government. Thanks for your strongly worded statements. Oh and thanks for doing nothing when you were in control. You should all put out an open call to be primaried. (Maybe not Chris Murphy)

There has been an almost Pavlovian response conditioned to those agency names to associate government=bad.
I hope their PR team picks up on your comment.
sadly the democrats aren't willing to do anything to save democracy.......but silence to save their jobs? the dems are all in.
You meet their aggression with more. You meet their fire with an inferno. You scream. You disrupt. You remove these people from power by any legal means necessary. You use EVERY tool!!!!! EVERY bit of leverage!!!!!
No more unanimous consent
No more cloture
Put up a fight or retire at the end of your term
