I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

26 million kids rely on federal education funding for essential services. Cutting it means larger class sizes, fewer teachers, and fewer resources. Please call Congress at 202-224-3121 #ProtectOurKids social.demcast.com/s/9gOsCgs1

Indeed.

Republican culture wars don’t help the people! “I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.” — @mcbride.house.gov

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

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!

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

I don’t really like to comment on political strategy but WTF are Schumer and Newsom, two of the most powerful leaders in the Democratic Party, doing right now?

I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.

So I’m assuming the name of Gavin Newsom’s podcast is “I Don’t Want To Be President”

Creepy Speaker Mike Johnson got put in his place.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden. This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

When I talk to folks who don't keep up with every news story, and I explain what Republicans are trying to do to block married women from voting, they think I've lost it. I sound like I need a tinfoil hat and that's exactly what they want. Just like Russian collusion, if we drop it, they win.

All caught up, now?! 🤚 Hope so. 😎✨

These people wouldn't take their car to a plumber or ask a mechanic to unclog their toilet but they’ll listen to RFK Jr over medical professionals who’ve spent a decade becoming physicians.

I’ll always be on the side of Congresswoman Sarah McBride. Bigots can go to hell.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Tim Walz: “I’m hitting the road, traveling to red states across the country to lend a megaphone to the people. Your congressman may not want to listen, but they’re going to hear from us anyway.”

She is so bad at her job.

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America, where First Amendment lawyers find themselves compelled to advise people that they have no First Amendment rights.

I don't want any Democrat to work with any Republican on any Trump agenda item. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

This is the state of the media today: If you state the simple, obvious truth—that the president of the United States is mentally unstable and engages in mentally unstable behavior injurious to the nation and the world—you have to fear for your job. Pathetic.

Gutting the Department of Education will impact everything from internet access to school buses. Let’s not make it harder to learn.

Musk is cutting Social Security’s phone service—forcing 73 million seniors online. No phone help for benefits. No direct deposit changes. Figure it out yourself. This isn’t about fraud—it’s about breaking Social Security so they can kill it next.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

🎀

backing off "they're weird" was an incredible mistake. Musk is just weird. He's a weird weirdo billionaire weirdly obsessed with ruining normal people's lives. this is not a complicated message.

"My hope now is that we see more Democrats embrace independent media. My hope is that we see them let their guard down and go into uncomfortable spaces and take risks and forget about the polls and be a lot more real so that we know who they are and what they’re doing and how they’re fighting back."

Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down. Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down. Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down. Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down. I'm sensing a pattern.

Be like Rosemary…👇

There’s no Musk Library There’s no Musk Hospital There’s no Musk University There’s no Musk Art Museum There’s no Musk Concert Hall There’s no Musk Cancer Center There’s a Musk Foundation — and it’s in trouble with the IRS because it almost never donates any funds

YUP!

GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."

More of this, please! Chicago is on fire, letting Musk know they are not on board with his billionaire power grab. Let's continue pushing to make Tesla the next corporate pariah. Well done, Chicagoans, for using your voice to let him know what you think of his takeover of our government.

JD Vance never once condemned Putin by name for indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets that murders children daily in Ukraine. But he’s irate at a couple grandmothers complaining to him about it.

#GVerse Obviously we are not allowed to see this, so we have to spread it - protest against #NotMyPresident.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Many 🇺🇸 living in border states with 🇨🇦 wish us to become your southernmost province. This sentiment reflects our admiration for the values and stability that Canada represents, in contrast to the dictatorial tendencies of our current government. Sincerely, Dr. Len

I hate how accurate this feels right now🫣
