What?! We have to wait till the Supreme Court decides *and* Trump disobeys them for Schumer to finally conclude "democracy is at risk"? Trump & Musk are already ignoring *and* openly defying court orders! One thing continues to be clear: Schumer is not the leader Democrats need for this moment.

Pelosi has had great success in getting a Democratic party leader to step aside before. Can she do it again?

As Trump & Musk upend federal labor law, " @govkathyhochul.bsky.social and legislative leaders can include legal provisions in this year’s state budget that will expand enforcement of worker protections while adding over $100 million yearly in new funding for staff at the state DOL." #EmPIREAct

Good morning. I am a firm 100% NO on House Republicans' slush fund CR. I will NOT vote to let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers with your taxpayer dollars. Senators were not elected to beg Trump for federal resources.

Open the phone lines @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov — your constituents are trying to reach you because we are outraged you would vote yes on the Trump-Musk funding bill. Stop sending our calls to voicemail! @rosalindadams.bsky.social

Mayor Adams has forgotten that NYC has always been the international capital of the world, built and strengthened by citizens of the world. Given that he has badly betrayed the people of New York, he must step down. If not, we need Governor Hochul to remove him to save our city.

The Trump administration’s attack on “DEI” is really an attack on all of U.S. anti-discrimination law. This @nytimes.com piece sidesteps that fact completely, in favor of a narrative about a left divided. 1/x

It would be incredibly important for Senate Democrats to confirm Lina Khan for another term. I've been working on consumer protection for more than 30 years, and she is the single most effective and remarkable public servant we have ever had doing this kind of work. She should be returned
