Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

"There's so much fraud, waste, and abuse." "Can you give us an example?" "Oh ho ... trust us, there's so much fraud, waste and abuse, you wouldn't believe it." "Try me! Just one." "Sorry, there's too much fraud, waste, and abuse. I can't pick out just one instance of fraud, waste, and abuse."

Its so sad that this kind of message was rejected by the voting majority of Americans and instead they voted for whatever the hell it is that we currently have.

Anyone see the connection Trump is making by talking about Ukraine as if they were the aggresor for defending themselves against Russia's invasion and how he's talking about Canada now. If he can convince half the country Ukraine is the aggresor he can convince half the country to invade Canada.

I heard Gov. Abbott asked them to steer clear of the state until he gets to watch some kids die. Man, there's nothing he loves more than watching kids die. School shootings, barbed-wire migrant crossings, power outages, measles, whatever. It doesn't matter how, as long as some kids die.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

A new statement from the White House makes it clear they’re going to reverse the Biden administration’s reforms on overdraft fees and blocking medical debt from being listed on credit reports.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

Our office has heard from so many of you who are concerned about the actions taken by Trump, DOGE, and Elon Musk over the past few weeks. We get it and this is not normal. Here’s how we are fighting back 👇

Everyone should have the same expectation from their gov reps that they do of their teachers.Smart politicians who understand tech, social media, are empathic and are entertaining, great speakers, and brave.I want them to do it all.They at least get paid enough.The mediocrity we vote in is on us.

To folks saying "Calling does nothing!" and then... not suggesting any actions instead, even small ones? Please, save us both some time, don't bother posting at me, and just block me now. I'll use the time to take action (not JUST call, fyi) & you can use it to... stare into the abyss of doom? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

This is advice every dem politician should take to heart. Don’t sell against the competition. Sell what you are doing to reduce people’s stress and make their life better It’s not about what’s wrong with the competition. It’s about what is right with you

We need to shift our messaging from "Democrats SHOULD talk about..." to just SAYING IT ourselves (I'm guilty too). Don't lament the asymmetry in the media; we already know the media would destroy Biden if he blamed a plane crash on some amorphous framework like DEI. Instead, start making the case:

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
