In the Senate there are votes that are forgotten on the day they are cast; and there are votes cast in granite that will be learned about by Senators’ great grandchildren. Whether Senators do everything in their power to curtail Trump’s excesses will long be remembered.

NEWS: The same D.C. Circuit panel that granted DOJ's request to let Trump's firing of the then-Special Counsel go into effect during DOJ's appeal is — appropriately — treating efforts to fire members of multi-member bodies differently, scheduling oral arguments on DOJ's stay requests for next week.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s political purge of the Department of Education is a gross betrayal of American students. It is also illegal: Trump is plainly trying to eliminate by fiat a department established in law by Congress. 1/

Absolutely. If the Dems hold the line through this Friday - then we will need to go all out and have the backs of Senate Dems AND Chuck Schumer. But , right now we need Dems to show up for the fight this week and go on all out offensive against Musk and Trump (majority of country don't like them).

This is it. He’s constantly pretending. You could see it today in the meeting with the Irish PM. He pretends and just keeps doubling down. But who could call this out are America’s business leaders who KNOW, who surely SEE, that Trump is ignorant. Why don’t they? For tax cuts??

OK, so Rubio announced Ukraine signed a cease fire agreement, and that now the ball is in Russia’s court. This is Putin’s response. So maybe Trump & Vance can finally admit that Ukraine wants peace and Putin wants war? Of course they won’t. The question is why?

If Elon makes it so seniors and disabled Americans can't talk to a real person over the phone, he is cutting off untold numbers of Americans from getting the benefits they have paid into their entire careers. That IS a benefit cut to Social Security—endorsed by Republicans.

This just came in from the BMW dealership where I bought my Mini Cooper in 2023. I LOVE it. I'll bet this would make the Musker really upset. I'm not on X but if I were, well, it would be a real shame if the co-POTUS missed this, don't you think?

House Democrats are united in our support for a 4-week funding extension. I am ready to vote today, tomorrow or Friday to pass a 4-week extension that stops harmful cuts, keeps government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan funding agreement.

Funding the government is a bipartisan process — both sides come together, negotiate spending levels, and pass a bill. Instead, Republicans have decided to pass partisan legislation that includes devastating cuts. Democrats won’t be complicit in hurting working people.

Fellow Coloradans, this is about the continuing resolution for funding. A vote for this is a vote for Trump's budget, slashing necessary funds from Medicaid and other programs. We need them to vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. John Hickenlooper: (303) 244-1628 Michael Bennet: (202) 224-5852

We've had our critiques of House Dems in recent days so I want to be really clear: they did their job! They held together to vote no! It was good! The Senate needs to follow their example! Call your Senator and tell them: stop the dirty CR. And call your House rep to thank them (not Jared Golden).

Greenland's election returned a resounding "GTFO" to Trump's plan of absorbing it into the United States, with the nation's pro-US party failing to win a single seat. The result comes as a shock to 100% of people named Donald Trump, but was expected by 100% of everyone else. #uspoli #greenland #us

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
