Good for Rep. Frost to push for entry to federal agencies! Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Schumer should lead this push, and not back down, even if it means risking arrest. Arresting or abusing congressional leaders seeking to exercise oversight — that would starkly show the administration’s intent.

"No unanimous consent" doesn't mean "no UCs on nominations," it means no unanimous consent on anything. They do several every day. Most aren't on confirming a particular nominee as such. They're mundane procedures. Adjournments. Letting the 'morning hour' be deemed expired. Approving the journal.

Buckle up everyone this is going to be a LONG thread but if you are a current Fed you are going to want to bookmark it because it’s the roadmap for what’s coming. #SaveUSAID #SaveAmerica 1/

“It is my purpose,” Churchill wrote in The Gathering Storm, “first to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been prevented [and] how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.”

This is a start but, to be clear, still nowhere close to maximum obstruction. No UC, on anything. No unrecorded votes, on anything. No waiving rules, on anything. Fight even on adjournments. Quorum calls every time you can. Make every dilatory motion in the books and new ones you just made up.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

This is v. good. Echoes a lot of things I’ve written in recent days at Off Message. Knock on wood but feels like a groundswell is building.

🧵I think we need to talk about *waves hands wildly in all directions* differently. I see 3 goals: -Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability -Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad -Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

Advice for Democratic lawmakers: Don't ever again put out a press release stating that you're "meeting tomorrow" in response to a five-alarm fire. Cross that out. Write this: "We are urgently working to address this crisis." And then make that statement true with immediate action.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

If you are in the US and have parents or grandparents with citizenship for any other country, contact that embassy for information if you qualify for duel citizenship or residency so you can evacuate or prepare.

It really isn't THAT limited I promise. It does take some coordination and focus yes.

Folks the single number one thing you should demand from your Senators when you are making calls is that they start objecting to unanimous consent. It only takes a single Senator to do it and if they start objecting, it will grind Trump's fascist takeover to a halt.
