Americans need to know that we are on the cusp of a government coup. Musk is controlling the U.S. treasury’s $6 trillion dollars and trump is illegally shutting down federal departments.
Americans are being distracted and Nat’ news is not covering the magnitude of this situation.
The fastest way to end the MAGA trifecta: Dems flip 3 house seats in upcoming special elections and make Jeffries speaker. Yes, it’s a heavy lift, but what do we have to lose by trying? Who’s on board?
I know. This would be more direct; threats and intimidation aimed at state election officials and poll workers, and violence against people trying to vote. In red states, there would be nobody to stop them.
As I wrote in reply to another post: I live in a deeply red state where MAGA RINO folks have trifecta control of state government. That is not happening here. Timothy Snyder On Tyranny lesson 1: Do not obey in advance
How are those voters supposed to cope with armed militia gangs disrupting the vote? In states with Republican governors, there would be nobody to stop them.

How about public shaming of individual Congressional Republicans? Trump does it. Why not Congressional Democrats? Get each and every one of them shamed.
You did great! I am going to my bank today (in addition to calling my senators again) to ask what action they are taking to protect my assets from Musk.
Nice Bomber Jacket. Makes you look tough. MAGA is on to your Fascist Group. We will destroy you like MAGA destroyed the democrat party. It will take more than a beta soy boy with a Bomber jacket on Pal.
I’m watching now - SO impressed with your call, want to participate in the next one! Disappointed that the D’s didn’t have a war room and a plan like this IMMEDIATELY after the election - WTAF?!!
Watching right now. You mentioned twenty plus Senators who voted today for a Trump pick. Can you tell us who they were? It would be great to be able to call them telling them we disapprove.
Ezra, great and very informative interview with Rachel! You could tell how interested she was and what you were ready to share with us. Thanks so much for your hard work and by the way, you looked really sharp in your jacket.!
Ezra, Why can’t the Dems take the Capitol police and National Guard and retake the Treasury, USAID and any other Department the civilian, illegal alien has taken over? There’s no such thing as a White House Special Person, or “DOGE”. Get Seal Team 6 in there if needed.
Please, please advocate to arrest Musk. We don't just watch when people run amok smashing and grabbing. We just arrest them. He's smashed and grabbed $6 trillion and all our private data. If it were anyone else they would have been arrested already.
So what’s wrong with law enforcement in this country anyway? Why are they doing what Musk tells them to do instead of following the law? They’re either incompetent (for not knowing the law) or corrupt.
Maga outreach-
Push a simple message. Proj25 is an anti-Democratic assault on representative American Democracy. The R party is gone. This NOT MAGA. It is a cabal of 1%’ers and FAUX Christian fundamentalists, using T to sign hundreds of exec orders THEY prepared. It is patriotic America vs Proj25.
Yay! Always inspired by your enthusiasm, Ezra!
❤️ Rachel’s coverage of the Senate office visits nationwide. I visited mine today with 20 other constituents.

Question: If Dem Reps are scheduling town halls per plan, could Republicans use this time to gather and pass some awful legislation in Congress in their absence?
Second question: Are their offices in DC, at the Capitol, secure in their absence--secure from being bugged, for example?
Bravo Ezra! Great jacket and presentation. Would it be effective if Congressional Democrats and Indivisible members blockade the Treasury Building, not allow in food, water, possibly electricity, heat, etc. until Musk and his goons exit and give up control of our taxpayer $ and personal information?
I abandoned them after the election as I did all cable and broadcast news. MSNBC is an opinion channel, not news. They got it so wrong in 2024, they lost credibility with me
Your appearance will no doubt be a fundraising effort. I’m exhausted by all the emails begging for money.
Maybe you should ask the senators that were there why it is they chose to be at the rally and then go back and give consent to move forward with a bondi vote. I don't think they're genuine and I think they're being duplicitous.
What will become of Lady Liberty in the coming years?

Ok, I'm all signed up so please just add me to your next protest.
I was so frustrated today about this RFKjr thing and thought about registering my complaint by changing my party to Independent (which I didn't want to do) … I'm just SO FRUSTRATED 😩
I don’t think your fashion choices are the focus here—and describing what was going on at the treasury building as a rocking rally does ZERO to instill confidence in your representation of the seriousness of the situation.
I was at the call on Sunday. Took action. All my reps in DC are FL Republicans though. Did contact and joined a local Indivisible group. Thanks for being on MSNBC tonight
You and your wife are a welcome rudder on a floundering ship in this dark starless night. Thank you for the hope and direction. We just needed a leader. THANK YOU INDIVISIBLE!
I did. Remember you from the first Trump’s terrible administration… tomorrow I took the day off work to attend 50 capitols in 50 states and it’s suppose to rain but I will be there with 3 friends. I pray there will be others here in Georgia who cares for democracy 🙏🏽✊🏽
Nice job Ezra. Elon has been a citizen about 20y. He can't be president but I believe he considers himself Fuhrer. Same as the pope is the head of the world-wide Roman Catholic church, Elon is fashioning himself Fuhrer of world-wide Nazi governments.
I saw you on Rachel Maddow tonight and was so proud to have been a part of that on line event of 50,000 patriots that you said inspired the democratic law makers to take some action and show up today at the Treasury building. This renews my hope and determination, Thank you so much!
Today was a good start but let’s see how tomorrow goes…will democrats really act on there rhetoric or do they take the day off…no place for democrats who don’t have the same will as the people do..everyday must be like today….✊🏽🇺🇸🗽💙
Man, won’t Democrats ever learn? You have more ruthless than Trump, but with the truth, constitution & democracy on your side.
We have 2 yrs to get the Senate/House back. More importantly, we have to do whatever it takes to stop Trump in the meantime. Look at the damage he has done in 2 weeks?
Thank you. I have been on strict no media diet since about 2020. Today I was afraid so I put on Rachel. Watching you and her helped my breathing. I have been unable to feel my face since trump said we are going to “OWN” Gaza. I can’t even. I checked flights and hotels to DC. Thinking it over.

THANK YOU 🙏💙
Thank you!!
Our Democratic Senators need to hear you loud and clear and heed your recommendations
I left VMSs for Cornyn, Cruz, and Babin requesting round table and/or town hall meetings.
I also asked my senators to vote No on RFK, Jr., Gabbard, Patel, and Vought.
Keep going!
Love,

Keep it up!

Would love to see more of you on Rachel and Deadline Whitehouse.
So motivated!
Go get 'em
It’s beyond anything Congress can muster.
I feel like we are doing legal and congressional things but Tr*mp’s ego can take Elon out and referring to him as Vice President may be enough
