Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should indict Eric Adams now that Donald Trump has ordered DOJ to drop its criminal bribery case against him. Indict Adams under New York state law -- which Trump will not be able to stop or pardon. CLEAN UP THE CORRUPTION -- NOW.

district judges have a lot of discretion in how they handle this sort of apparent misconduct. it's critical that Judge Kollar-Kotelly put Bradley Humphreys and whomever he received information from on the stand and question them under oath, ideally tomorrow.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Crazy idea but could some US senator call the Sec of the Treasury and ask him what the fuck is going on? @corybooker.com, you voted for him. You and the 14 other Dems who also did need to get answers @wyden.senate.gov and @warren.senate.gov must also given their key roles

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.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits. He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt. Congress must investigate.

If you work at any news outlet, it is your patriotic obligation to go scream at your bosses until they're as freaked out as they should be. Musk is literally seizing control of the federal government - the payment systems, all the data, the employment systems.

Congressional Democrats should remember that their base will absolutely hold them accountable for their inaction right now, while the slim slice of voters who actually care about “reaching across the aisle” won’t pay attention to the news until October 2026 at the earliest

As bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, Donald Trump and his grossly incompetent administration are blaming this deadly crash on minorities and white women. This is disgusting, racist and sexist. Their reckless actions have consequences and they should be held accountable.

The first 10 days of Trump's administration have been marked by an unprecedented barrage of barbaric policy moves and casual executive depravity. In many cases, these actions have flown in the face of the law, decades of tradition, and even the Constitution.

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people. 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze. 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings. 3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity. It's time to fight.

Russ Vought, Trump's OMB Director nominee, supports Trump being able to block congressionally allocated funding like he did today, preventing the states from being able to access Medicaid funding. Every Senator - Democrat and Republican - should recognize the unique danger posed by this person.

This blatantly illegal move by the Trump Administration should have severe consequences. None of his remaining cabinet picks should receive a single Democratic vote until all is remedied and we can ensure this won’t happen again. Congress holds the power of spending, not him.

There are, procedurally, immense steps senators could take to actually grind "business as usual" to a halt, if they really wanted. No cloture, on anything. No unanimous consent, on anything. No unrecorded voice votes, on anything. No waiving debate time, on anything. Work to rule, Senator.
