Thank you, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman.

Other Dem MOCs are promising to hold out for *assurances* that Congress's Constitutional authority (legislative, budgetary) will be respected.

*Assurances*.

Are you kidding me?

These aren't honorable people.

We need more than *assurances* from them.

Rep Jake, please be aware and tell your colleagues that posting on Blue Sky first is a better approach.

Posting on X, due to Musk's algorithms, your messages are demoted, and right-wing extreme replies are promoted --

X is essentially drowning out your efforts.

Yes do this. Fight fire with fire.

Don’t be afraid to hit hard. Repubs are probably banking on this and are waiting to blame Dems for “getting in the way of progress”. Get AHEAD of this messaging. Stay RESOLUTE in the messaging. We are decades behind them in brand messaging, so let’s catch up…FAST!

This! This right here is what we need.

Sounds like Johnson is trying to push for a vote today - I certainly hope that you follow your conviction to use these votes as the leverage needed to ensure the administration begins to adhere to its oath of office to uphold the Constitution rather than continue to run roughshod over it #shutitdown

Thank you, but you shouldn’t be negotiating at all, full stop. Until the coup is terminated and the election results forensically audited, participation is not an option. SHUT IT DOWN.

Yes! There it is! That's what we need! Grab em by the -----! SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Dems aren't powerless.

Congrats must shut down government until DOGE is shutdown and Elon is driven out. This is the only chance until midterms. Demand truth and transparency in government. All we are asking is why hardworking Americans are having their lives destroyed by Trump & Elon. Time to fight!
