If your NC vote has been challenged, the appeals court has triggered a 15-day "curing" period. It is imperative that you contact your local Board of Elections or legal representation for the next steps. The NC GOP is openly trying to steal their state's Supreme Court. Do not let them.

Are other billionaires deeply invested in China getting this briefing too? Will China be represented at the briefing or will Musk give them a read-out afterwards?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Why is Schumer talking about Social Security like it’s Elon Musk stealing candy from a baby? It’s our damn money! I’ve paid in since I was 17—I’m not handing it to billionaires for tax cuts. @schumer.senate.gov , fight for me, fight for my mother! Fight for us! Where’s YOUR voice?

76 House Dems joined Republicans in voting to repeal a Biden rule requiring cryptocurrency brokers to adhere to the same tax reporting rules as stock brokers. A yes vote is a pro-fraud, pro-tax-evasion vote here.

Most federal employees are in agreement with AOC here: while we want to keep the federal government working, we know things will only get much worse if we don’t push back on this destructive and divisive agenda now.

Senate Democrats— A vote AGAINST the Republican CR isn’t a vote to shut down the government—they’re in charge and need your votes. But a vote FOR the Republican CR is a vote to allow Elon Musk to continue shutting down the government and nullifying the role of Congress.

Republicans just snuck a provision surrendering power to revoke Trump's tariffs into a procedural vote. All Dems opposed. Every Republican who voted for this will own the economic consequences of expanding Trump's tariff powers. Statement with @repdelbene.bsky.social: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.
