I hope that’s accompanied by a strongly-worded letter. That always seems to work!

No one who should be is watching this channel. You all MUST find more effective platforms for your messaging. And please stop using acronyms and abbreviations. Speak in plain English so everyday people fully understand how the administration’s actions are going to affect their everyday life.

Get with the Parliamentarian and find out what tools are at your disposal to gum up the works. And for the love of god (and your re-election)

NO VOTES FOR BUDGET UNTIL COUP ENDS, FUNDING RESUMES, AND AGENCIES + PEOPLE REINSTATED. ZERO.

Donald Trump is a rapist. He rapes everything he touches. He raped his father's legacy, his kids' childhood, raped contractors' payments, raped his 1st wife, raped shareholders, over 20 women, raped Ukraine, raped Christianity, the constitution & now MEDICAID. He won't stop until he's horizontal.

jlindig.bsky.social•10 days ago

Don’t just make a stand! CLOSE IT DOWN!!

adbenedict.bsky.social•9 days ago

Let me guess, hold press conferences and fundraise? It seems to be the only thing in the dem play book these days.

jwilliamkennedy.bsky.social•9 days ago

Please do more than press conferences. I live in Boulder. I swear to High Heaven, I will knock on doors on all summer long and primary you, sir.

Shut the government down

areyoucertain.bsky.social•10 days ago

I have the impression that Americans are too used to government shutdowns now, and they only hurt ordinary citizens.
Imho you need a full general strike and quickly, before the administration has time to prepare.

ckinser.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes, there is a General Strike planned for March 15. I hope enough people are willing to do it. The advantage of a shut down this time would be that it would (I think) stop any more purges of people and freezes of funds while the courts continue to do their thing.

areyoucertain.bsky.social•10 days ago

I've heard, but a one day strike on a Saturday isn't going to have anything like enough impact I'm afraid.
I take your point about the different circumstances of a potential gov shutdown though.

ckinser.bsky.social•10 days ago

I didn’t realize it was a Saturday! That makes no sense. I agree one day isn’t enough. I’m going to explore with my Indivisible group whether anyone has heard of other groups planning a general strike.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•10 days ago

Close it down!! That should have been FIRST on the chopping block

flowerrypott.bsky.social•10 days ago

Rep Neguse is making the right mouth noises, but when the Party leadership defines "will not stand" as "we'll fold like laundry as quickly as we can", it's hard to get any hopes up

katiecannon.bsky.social•10 days ago

In other words:

Our government will no longer print dollars to help pay for MAGA’s healthcare

That way MAGA is free to beg for a bank loan to pay for their healcare.

Meanwhile, Trump is printing dollars for his oligarchs

Haha thanks for not spellchecking! Speech to text is a real asshole sometimes.

americapatrick100.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wow. All 4 democrats were able to show up.

backlitkeyboard.bsky.social•10 days ago

I fell asleep listening to this video. Need more passion. Needs any passion.

yevkras.bsky.social•10 days ago

Can you fucking do something about anything please?!

johnmaton.bsky.social•10 days ago

What can House Democrats do? Just a question

maraleia.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pressure every Senate Dem to vote no so this doesn't pass.

johnmaton.bsky.social•10 days ago

But, don’t the Republicans have a majority?

ericplais.bsky.social•10 days ago

Voting to drastically cut Medicare is a different beast than refusing to stop someone else from doing it. It moves from failure to protect over to actually being the culprit.

maraleia.bsky.social•10 days ago

They need 60 votes to pass anything other than Cabinet and other exec branch nominees and federal judges.

johnmaton.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ok thank you for the explanation. Sorry I didn’t remember that

sillycentrist.bsky.social•10 days ago

Fight the fight, Joe.

berni45.bsky.social•10 days ago

Once again who besides Trump cultist are surprised. We yelled it from the rooftops and they admitted it cultist just refused to hear it.

4joedirt.bsky.social•10 days ago

Only Businesses should pay taxes and pay off our national debt. Stop taxing the citizens!
Ready to eat the rich! 💯
#FDT, #Resist, #Trump, #GOP, It smells too Musky in the house, time to air the place out!

writeon1.bsky.social•10 days ago

I can't get over the fecklessness of voters who chose Trump over a decent, competent woman like Harris. Well, at least they got the racism, misogyny, and cruelty toward trans people. Now it's their turn. (And ours, unfortunately.)

aimze.bsky.social•10 days ago

Continue to RESIST, House Dems! Americans will not stand for this!!

justicia4all.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you Rep. Neguse !! We will not stand for Broken Promises !

Beware! The cruel and corrupt Republicans in Congress are attempting to decimate and destroy Medicaid, the ACA, social programs and the economic safety net in order to give massive tax cuts to the selfish wealthy and greedy corporations. Shameful and vile! They must be stopped!

stuckinamo.bsky.social•7 days ago

Thank you, Rep Neguse.

rebequewest.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sir, you are my representative & I voted for you but this tragically crafted pricing message by Dem party is for MAGA. Medicaid is the point yet you barely said anything. Also, this isn’t an administration by any stretch. It’s a coup. I’m gobsmacked by Dem inability to face the actual moment. 80501

raucousindignation.bsky.social•10 days ago

I wish I was even a little surprised.

hipstersasquatch.bsky.social•10 days ago

FFS, enough statements if you're not going to DO anything.

The Republicans made a playbook for gumming up the Obama administration when it had a trifecta. They freaking passed it around and it's online.
USE

You're going to have to fight dirty and hard if yr going to stop this madness.

malaforethought.bsky.social•10 days ago

No, it won't stand, it will lay down alongside you uselesd fuckers.

rockmn.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pictures of kids in hospital beds adjacent to pictures of yachts would help drive home this point.

murphyles.bsky.social•9 days ago

We need you to:

A) ignore the feeble Democratic “leadership” and lead to take back our democracy

B) put articles of impeachment into the public record

C) get on Fox, Sinclair, NYT, WaPo etc. - explain the blatant quid pro quo to all Americans

Per GOP: We now have to cut needy families and eliminate assistance for children to afford our lavish appetite for armored Tesla vehicles! WTF!

I live in Missouri. I was watching the DOGE hearing. Congressman Timmons kept referencing Missouri how great medcaid was. I want to tell you it doesn't work. I am on ss I get $1239 month Medicare $198. I did have medcaid which paid my Medicare premium medcaid $339 a month (cost share? SNAP $69

pamtk.bsky.social•10 days ago

Do the math. I lost my benefits because by the time I received the letter to do 6 month recertification deadline. There is no money in my county anymore for heating assistance. I immediately called Congressman Timmons they refused to take my call. I said he's on live TV talking about my state

pamtk.bsky.social•10 days ago

Click. I called 24 times then they blocked my number. Hawley blocked my number. Congressman Jason Smith takes my calls but refusing to call me back. WE AS SENIORS NEED HELP!!! I can't even imagine what families with kids are going through. HELP US

lilmaggie.bsky.social•5 days ago

I use *67 then the entire number. It comes up unnamed caller. Call a local office.

mattmurphy478.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s not a scheme it’s a SCAM. Stop being nice and show us you can fight!
