If there are Democratic Senators who plan on voting for the GOP budget, other than Fetterman and Schumer, they should say so now and articulate their reasoning. Elected officials should not hide their intentions from their own constituents.

A YES vote on the MAGA funding bill is a YES vote on Trump's authoritarian takeover. Senators aren't just voting on a budget - they're voting to legitimize Trump's continued attack on our democracy. Call you Senators and tell them to vote “NO” on the CR. 📞: (202) 224-2121

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.

It will be tremendously funny if Schumer gets publicly humiliated by an angry groundswell of Dem voters working their individual Senators who all bail on voting for cloture. There is no way he can continue in leadership if this happens, and it should.

Ok @schumer.senate.gov , if you clearly don’t care about the American people, perhaps your top donors: Blackstone Group, Nextera Energy, Paul, Weiss et al. Newmark Group and L3Harris Technologies can get you to see sense? Bc you now know we the people ❤️ a good boycott. (Right, Target?)

Beautiful statement of why protesting matters, even if it feels like you aren't making much headway. You're not just speaking to power. You're speaking to others and making it possible for them to join in.

We're facing a hostile government takeover and @democrats.senate.gov can do something about it. The Trump-Musk spending bill will make our constituents hungrier, sicker, and poorer. Listen to your constituents. Do not cede your leverage. Hold the line. youtube.com/shorts/mL1_s...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster. It would be a disaster. And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people. From my interview on @allinwithchris.bsky.social:

Judge orders discovery, allowing interrogations, depositions, information requests to develop. This is the first time a court orders this legal action in a case against the so-called DOGE. It is a critical next step to stop DOGE’s unlawful access to Americans’ sensitive data. 1/2

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation. To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign. And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
