Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

If there are actual fair elections in 2026 it'll be a landslide loss. Everything in their platform makes life worse for the average person. Not long before they tank everything with their incompetence
If we just sit and watch them do it, they’re not going to care about our critiques while they’re yachting around the Mediterranean on our dime. And they won’t care at the next “election” they’re planning either.
What makes you think there will be any meaningful elections in 2026?
Seriously. Trump is creating the circumstances for economic collapse & social unrest. He will then justify the need for a state of emergency & will ‘temporarily’ suspend elections.
We have to hold iffy blue seats in Michigan, NM, New Hampshire ana VA. We might flip the Collins seat in Maine. Otherwise the seats are all locked. This is an empty threat. Focus on the House.
Dream on, there will not be an election and I feel that congressional Democrats will be arrested in several weeks as you are trump's "enemy within" or in his nursery school voice "very bad people, so bad" How can he be shit and his sister was a judge.
I'm afraid you are right if the SAVE ACT passes Congress. @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social we must start preparing for that fight now!
I dunno. I don't think doing the same thing over and over is the answer. I hope I'm wrong, but right now, the only thing that seems to matter is the various court cases.
We need clever marketing minds to come up with a name other than Project 2025. Something catchy to tie like a lead balloon to the wrists of each politician who enabled this outcome.
🧵 [1/3] To all who see this:
Potential Republicans who may flip & aid Dems with enough local pressure. Are you angry? Organize an in-person visit if able.
"Document Everything & Follow Up"
This and more in the links provided. We need a handful of Republicans to choose nation over party, and the people over profit. Let's do it.
Play some clips of them bragging about the $s to their states the infrastructure bill provided (that they voted against), after these assholes cancel it.
2026 great campaign slogan "You Own It." Mump's execution of the destruction of democracy and the R's capitulation is hurting a lot of people, even killing some.
Americans are seeing it.
In the mid-terms, they can run and they can hide but .... they are going to Own It.
Yes. I’ve called my red senators every day: first imploring them to stand up to Musk, and then telling them that since republicans have a trifecta, they are responsible for the downfall of American democracy. So they can’t say that all their constituents supported them. Or that no one told them.
Remind them, that if they don't stop this and it ends in destruction of America in the entire, which is a distinct possibility, they are actively culpable traitors also.
100% agree and I *have* told them this. I never get any reply from them, but I’ve been calling their DC and local offices every day with the same message. So—they know. They don’t care about it, but they know.
Trump & the Republicans - their incompetence, narcissism & lack of moral backbone is keeping them from protecting their constituents (& the rest of us) from these greedy tech boys.
Acknowledging that voter suppression is going into overdrive isn't obeying in advance. It's recognizing the reality that threatening to vote them out isn't going to change how they act.
We need to organize and find ways to hurt their bottom line long before 2026.
And my PA republican senator, Dave McCormick, just got elected to his first term (man, I miss Bob Casey). I’m sure he figures nobody is gonna remember his votes in 2030. Jokes on him…I don’t forget. And he’ll get another phone call tomorrow reminding him of it.
Any future Elections will be performative. Elon will guarantee the results. This is not going forward as normal. Need to think and react to the new realities, not rely on past structures. The government has been completely compromised.
Learn who actually controls election infrastructure in the US. Capturing election boards in 50 states & thousands of counties isn't easy & it certainly hasn't happened yet.
It hasn’t happened yet because there’s never been a demagogue with a cult following before.
Trump won’t be bound by Constitutional niceties like election boards. He is deliberately driving the US into economic chaos & social unrest, so he can ‘justify’ suspending elections.
I'm going to cut you some slack since it appears you may live outside the US, but unless Trump tries to deploy hundreds of thousands of soldiers to polling places across the US, we're having a fucking election. If he does try it, he's likely to be couped himself when 100 million people protest.
What are you going to do about the Dems that have been letting all the other nominees through without this kind of resistance so far? Are you truly resisting or are you just another part of the Dem apparatus? Will you primary Democrats with people that will actually fight for the people?
There won't be any fair or legal elections in the US anymore. They are well aware of the upcoming elections in 2026. They will manipulate their executive power to disenfranchise enough individuals from voting in order to secure a victory. This same strategy is evident in countries like Hungary...
Upside down American flags is a good start. I bought 3 flags to fly upside down, which will really pass off my Republican neighbors and deep red state of Texas
"You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance," Evie told Beni in the 1999 movie "The Mummy" when she learned he betrayed her. Republicans & those complicit who betrayed the people - comeuppance.
How are you going to do that? Why not hold the people accountable that voted Vought in? Watching them destroy America only to hold them accountable after seems a tad late!
Democrats in office need to take the “we go high” gloves off & loudly call them out on the abuses of power and violations of the Constitution nightly in prime time news broadcasting. In every speech, every event, every interview they need to have the same message of the cruel consequences of P2025
Hmm..
Fascists believe in extreme authoritarianism, the supremacy of one race or nation over others, the persecution of minorities and dissidents, and the strengthening of the military in the name of conquering new territories. Fascism is also sexist, anti-liberal, anti-socialist, and anti-Communist
He's the leader they're praying for. Lead 2025 🧠. Doesn't matter what's in continuing resolution script. He will appropriate and expend otherwise. No more House Dems bailing out Mike Johnson. Shut it down.
So then we all must stop referring to them as republicans. It suggests a party engaged in American. Democracy. The election was won by Proj25ers, a cabal of 1%'ers whose goal is to unravel 150+ years of democracy. There is NO republican party. It is patriotic Americans vs Proj 25.
Call them out!
We need republicans to impeach Trump. It is now our only solution as Trump has already begun defying judges orders. We will be a lawless country in a matter of weeks.
Protest these Republicans at their homes! We need 60% vote to impeach Trump & then Vance.
From what Cory Booker says, large numbers of Senators don’t want to vote for the most egregious nominees, but they’re afraid to publicly vote against them. Likewise there are many things they think and say in private but do the opposite in public. We need them. Is there any way to embolden them?
Shut down the MF Senate!! When Dems had the majority in the Senate they let Tommy Tuberville block over 100 military promotions they also let Republicans block several of Biden judicial nominees. How were Republicans able to do that in the minority 🤷🏿♀️don't tell me Dems can't do the same.
Russell Vought is a radically evil threat to our democracy, and we will all pay the price.
I can see the GOP groveling for ‘exceptions’ as he executes his secret 180-day Playbook. We are in the shit now, folks.
That is such the wrong answer.
Sit and watch them roll out each evil and damning thing and shake out finger saying, “No no. We would not be happy if you do that.”?!
Everyone has been handed a live grenade with the pins pulled out and guess what’s next, folks….
dems really need to pull their heads out of their asses and start really vetting candidates
for all the work/$ put into fetterman, he is a complete failure within the party
These Republicans shall rue the day they put him in this powerful position. He will aid destroying America even further. Today is a very sad, sad day to so many families and the harm it will do.
I truly believe many white people are blind to their unconscious biases—they themselves do not have the courage to acknowledge that an entire white society would not bother them.
As a biracial woman, I hear the conversations in both rooms. 💔
This is the sad truth; but there are many whitish people who couldn’t imagine living in a world like that. We are a beautiful society only when we are all free and all together.
I’m fairly pasty💕I have never trusted white men. Rich ones mostly, they’re evil. I’m really getting tired of fighting them, 55 years now? I’m ready for a win for us
This creep thinks he's a born again, Christian. He's a born again creep. There's no salvation for this guy the Lord my God hates his guts. My Lord hates arrogance. There's nothing more that pisses off the arrogance. He will destroy earth because of it.
And I'll bet every democrat voted NO except Fetterman. Every repug voted to confirm Bondi & every democrat voted NO except Fetterman. What a traitor! So now my state has 2 repugs for senators & a repug representative & no democratic representation. PA sucks!
Guess it is official that the Republicans are the coup. When do their brown shirts arrive or will they go with the SS look. I think we have our own Hamas group now. To use a very old time phrase: Their choice, their funeral. A day of rest tomorrow. Too many tears today.
If JFK wrote “Profile in Courage” to celebrate the courageous people who stood up to do the right thing, all these coward Republican Senators should be in “Profile in Cowardice” for bowing down to money from Elon.
There are a couple special House elections in Florida and New York. While we're focused on the Cabinet nominees, I'm guessing Indivisible might have something to say about those.
These races may be long shots, but they could be a good way to get the word out on Project 2025.
Along the same lines, it could be a good time for people who are considering running for office to start/keep working on how they can provide a better alternative to these Congress people or even on the local level. Probably Indivisible has plenty of advice to offer on jump starting.
Tonight really, really, really sucks and we have to keep going. We got a taste of how they will stop funding programs. I'm not an expert, but they may just do blanket or surgical stops on payments. It may be good if there is documentation/resources to help people deal with fighting back?
Oh yes! Hang in there. Pockets of blue dots do exist. I know powerful ones in Bowling Green! Paul is a scum! mitch is weak! But I call them/ leave messages every day (Logan County) doesn’t even know Masks has stolen all their data!! both a denial and ignorance! Keep trying!appreciate you!We need you
Mitch is a waste of space. But Rand, you should reach out to him. He’s not a real doctor, but he is smart, intuitive and has raised some legit ideas to make government better.
Yes, he’s complicit in this criminal enterprise. But if he’s worth his salt, he wants to hear from you.
The cruelty that is about to be unleashed onto Americans by Vought is frightening. I feel worse about his confirmation than I did about Trump's re-election.
Someone should go and take signs to the committee who refused to hear about coming to the committee and explain what he is doing with 7 million of our tax dollars.
Were is the war room. We know their plan do we have messaging and media. Time for more then call them. Let shut down the economy for a day or 2 or 3. General strike?
I wrote to Senator Cassidy & said I’m very angry at the state of chaos they’ve plunged our nation into, I feel sorry for them that they are unable to voice their honest point of view. In my jobs (w/powerhouse women bosses)I could be honest about a potential problem.Scary but I had my self respect.
the means to hold anyone in the Trump admin accountable have been seriously degraded; soon they will be non-existent.
Eventually there will only be one possible means left for true Americans to reverse the Trump/Musk coup. We know the result of violence will work out bc we've lived it once before.
They were voted in to do work for their constituents. So losing funding for critical services including Medicaid Medicare and social security are not an issue? Highly doubtful. These Repubs don’t care. It’s only about them not those they represent. “I need to save my seat & all those perks I get.“
If republicans really believe in the Project 2025 agenda, they should have the courage to write the bills and pass laws themselves. They know it is crap. Trump is doing the dirty work for them. They have violated their oaths and abandoned the Constitution.
Russell Vought is in, and with him comes Project 2025—a roadmap for turning rights into privileges and democracy into a souvenir. Every Democrat saw the cliff ahead. MAGA Republicans hit the gas.
Russell Vought embodies the worst of government cruelty, and his return to OMB will be catastrophic for millions. He’s spent years slashing aid, punishing the vulnerable, and prioritizing ideology over people. Hopefully, the courts will step in to block his most dangerous plans.
Hate to be Debbie Downer, but Trump's criminal mob in power won't obey the law, and Trump's DOJ won't enforce it, at least for his accomplices, especially adverse court rulings and orders. He hates the courts.
Vought’s plan is a Post-Constitution state. So none of the stuff we are currently mired in matters. Their goal is to dismantle the entire government structure & they are well on their way. Vought views the office of prez as de facto King. Now that he’s confirmed it will go warp speed.
It's still important to make the cases, if only for historical documentation. Plus, you never know... there may come a time where these thugs can be held to account.
They don’t need to… They fired the chair of FEC (federal election committee) (the intent is to never have a fair election! But there will be a tipping point… There will be a catastrophe… Stay strong, maintain your sanity when it happens will need your strength! Thank you for whatever you do🙏
I love his idea!! Going to bring it up at my Indivisible Meeting. Project 2025 polled horribly during the election season and the Republicans quickly publicly distanced themselves. And the media let it drop. We need to bring it back with a Project 2026 counter-that’s a grest idea!
This FUCKTARD (dt) used the process of divide and conquer😡. To me, we are heading towards a Civil War! This world, right now, is a BALL OF CONFUSION - TEMPTATIONS.
Barely a dot of any color in this very red state…National turmoil is empowering the state attempts to overturn the initiatives voted in at the last state election cycle…where is the home for person of logic? No where…neither a republican (there aren’t any) nor a democrat (too far too far)
Tell your Senators you know what they just did. This man is going to wreck our minimal safety net and probably bankrupt families and indirectly kill millions. Use @resist.bot
I would love for MSNBC or PBS to call on each Republican senator to answer one question related to Project 2025. The question should be asked by a constituent from their district. If they don’t show up or they don’t comment even that should be announced on public tv. We need a public record.
He won’t go against Trump. He doesn’t care about NC. Here is what he replied to me. The “mandate” crap is insulting. He thinks we are stupid. Call his office, email him, every day. Don’t give up. And if we have another legit election, vote him out.
We must protest Republicans at their own homes now! Only chance to stop Trump is to impeach. We need 60% vote. We must force Republicans to grown a spine and gain morality through pressure campaign!
I figure Trump will solidify his dictatorship in about 2 weeks. He will ignore the court orders
I've had a list of republicans that needed to be culled a long time ago. Those that have not contributed to democracy and have not shown the intelligence for the job. But now it's to long to list here.
Americans are so dumb they either like P25 or they really believed them when they said they didn’t know what it was. This is what happens when education is continually defunded for 50 years.
Senate rules do not permit a full filibuster on appointments. They stakes it as long as they could within the rules, though I daresay they could have bent or broken rules to delay even more.
Russell Vought wants to harm you, he wants you to dread getting up in the morning, he wants you to feel trauma, he wants to take your money and your country (his words.) He is a bigot, a predator, he intends to harm you. Make him a public pariah. Make it impossible for him to sleep at night.

No… It’s not… We will not give up ! stressed?take steps back;care of your health;care of your sanity;not give up do not comply in advance Action in whatever way you can
Exhausted w/ US representatives?start w/ Attorney General@state you live…Start W/ governor…express YOU!don’t give up. We need you!
I hear you. Trust me I’m doing what I can starting with daily phone calls to congress. I firmly believe in “Do not Obey in advance” better yet, do not
over at all The problem is the cowards in congress with too much power and full of greed. Unless they step up now, the people will have to step in.
This lunatic is a one trick pony. His trick?
"The Constitution is Unconstitutional." Tah Dah!
And the slunked over grift-o-trons just nod along in agreement.

Some of these senators are up for reelection in 2026. We hope they enjoy running on their vote for Project 2025.
This IS who we are.

Yes DEM also need to be confronted but this “ what are you going to do about it? “should be “what are we going to do about it”
Indivisible is forging ahead. How will you contribute directly action?
We just need strong Dem senate candidates to run, along with the help of making sure that every seat is contested at all levels.

1) Somehow win all three special elections to give us House Majority
2) The Dreaded Filibuster
Also Public Pressure also helps.

Also, investigate election. Elon cheated
