Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Upcoming economic boycotts are listed here. Help to make a difference. #economicboycott

The only thing I’ve seen that can be done from afar, other than donations, is phone banking. I can find link for it.

You are barking up wrong tree. We know how far that won't go.

Rep. Vern Buchanan Must Investigate Elon Musk's Takeover of the U.S. Treasury open.substack.com/pub/themanat... We need Rep. Buchanan to hold a Town Hall to answer our concerns. This is a most alarming letter that goes deeper than what is being reported in the news.

Thank you @bluntrochester.senate.gov for taking your stand. #DemsFightBack

Immigration March this Sunday in Five Points, downtown Sarasota at Noon. Your support is needed and appreciated.

Anderson Cooper Pleads With ‘60 Minutes’ Staff to Stay Amid Trump Lawsuit Source: TheDailyBeast Read entirely to see conflict of interest. Trump’s lawsuits against others should be dropped or delayed just as are the cases against him!

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for standing up to the administration's draconian actions. #DemsFightBack.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Consider running for office in 2026. Start now. Lots of support.

Congratulations to David Hogg elected Vice Chair of DNC.

We also appreciate that you plug Indivisible.

Agree! Legislators don't pay attention to calls, emails and letters from voters not in their district. But, we can bring attention to them through social media. This is what voters in dominated red districts have to do with Democrats in other districts.

Governor Walz

It’s time for Democratic legislators to play hardball, or I should say play like Republicans.

Medicaid website is down. Representative Frost just talked with a medical provider who accepts Medicaid. Because they are shut out from the Medicaid portal, they might not be able to make payroll. They exclusively serve low-income Floridians.

Most Americans unite during tragedies like the LA #wildfires. Yet unprincipled politicians are spreading baseless blame. Before buying into divisive lies, ask yourself: How credible are the sources? Let’s think critically and be our best selves. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/4YEgIV5N
