Huge march in New York today protesting the illegal DOGE cuts

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

They don’t want peace—they want submission. They want control. And every time you cave, you’re handing them the keys to the kingdom and asking, “Would you like fries with that?” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Went to observe the local Tesla Takedown protest and can report the vibes were genuinely exuberant.

Why are so many Democrats playing dead as Donald Trump runs roughshod over the entire country? I cover this (and more) on the latest Coffee Klatch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPj1...

This! 1000 times

Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

The only promise he’s kept is being a “dictator on day one”.

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.

trump has bruises on his hands, he drags his leg and is stumbling on the fucking stairs, clown boy is falling apart. You know the media would be all over this if President Biden were falling with bruises and shit. WHERE IS THE COVERAGE?

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more. And you know what? I’m still mad as hell. I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov thanks for making it that much harder for those of us organizing on the ground and fighting like hell

Collaborators with the fascists.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

No leader should by his decision create so much disunity and anger in his own party. That alone is political malpractice.

BREAKING: The Continuing Resolution cloture motion has passed 62-38, advancing the CR to a final vote. These are the Democrats who voted to invoke cloture:

@schumer.senate.gov Shame on you forever! You betrayed everyone who has supported you over the years. You sicken me, you coward!

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

I’ve had this before. It’s quite good!

@schumer.senate.gov Chuck, stop caving to the coup and do the goddamn job you were elected to do: fight for the people!

Indeed.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Call these Senators—tell them to vote no: All begin (202) 224 Cortez Masto 3542 Duckworth 2854 Durbin 2152 Fetterman (is a yes) 4254 Gillibrand 4451 Hassan 3324 King 5344 Klobuchar 3244 Peters 6221 Rosen 6244 Schatz 3934 Schumer (is a yes) 6542 Shaheen 2841 Share far and wide!

Democrats must stand strong and vote against this GOP garbage. If Republicans want to keep the government open, then they can come up with a fair bill. Period. End of story.

If Republicans want a partisan power grab for Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they won’t be getting any help from me.

@chuckschumer.com really needs to step aside and let someone who knows how to fight, and resonates with the democratic base, step in. This is a disgrace.

I don't give AF what Schumer says. Keep calling your senators. Don't let them betray us.

Sen. Schumer, these times are NOT business as usual. Step aside before we lose it all.

Can we all collectively agree that Chuck Schumer should resign immediately?

Republicans cut Democrats entirely out of their process for the CR, didn't want any of our input, and would have been blamed by a majority of the American public for a government shutdown. There was no reason to cave to them. Chuck Schumer has to go.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, when’s your next town hall? The people you betrayed would like to have a word.

@maddow.msnbc.com what the actual f is Chuck Schumer doing?

HAYES: There's an unconstitutional assault on the government right now SCHUMER: There is, absolutely HAYES: But they say you're not fighting! SCHUMER: They're already doing it without this CR

Democrats cannot give a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk to continue their destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more. We have to stand up for the American people. Senate Democrats must hold the line and vote NO on this Republican spending bill.

Is it too late to light Schumer’s ass up?

Donald Trump is LITERALLY shutting our government down as we speak. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY. He will continue to do this if they pass the CR. What the actual fuck don’t the Democrats understand about this?!!!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill
