The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich. Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

Hoping @marcelias.bsky.social was able to see the factual information about how his family came to America. Note: the name was NOT changed at Ellis Island. Jennifer Mendelsohn has written a beautiful summary of the Elias family immigration story. open.substack.com/pub/jenmen/p...

Take the argument to the people @kenmartin.bsky.social . And you might want to talk with @sanders.senate.gov and revisit that conversation you recently had in and about rural Missouri. Think you missed some important points.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

There are 3 special elections coming up and those 3 seats are the keys to stopping the Congressional Republicans doing Trump & Musk’s evil bidding. We need just 1 seat to block them, 2 seats to stop them, and with all 3 we can FLIP THE HOUSE. Join us!! Monday 2/24 @7:30 EST. 👇👇 mobilize.us/s/Y9NrBb

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Seems @repjasmine.bsky.social is one of the few at work on the hill this week. How about we vote for her to be Speaker of the House? Or @aoc.bsky.social as I note she too has been working this week. We need boots on the ground on the hill.

Coming up at 12n ET on Youtube, we're talking about Elon Musk's disgusting display at CPAC where he celebrated the loss of jobs and healthcare for everyday Americans, Steve Bannon's not-see salute at CPAC, Trump's approval ratings plummet-- youtube.com/live/zLIpLPV...

Medicare is under attack, too. Many seniors cannot physically travel easily. This new policy is cruel to inflict upon them and will increase burdens on doctors and nurses.

Of course. But being the party standing up for those fired will mean a lot to those fired and their families. It will also show the country that they are trying to bring order to chaos. And if they can get any Republican support at all, that's huge leverage for March 14

BREAKING: Trump’s approval rating collapses. Only 37% of independents approve of Trump’s performance as President. America is rejecting Trump — and the more people realize how badly he’s doing, the worse his numbers will get.

I spent a lot of money over the years on @Lenovo products. I am profoundly disappointed in my purchase from November. Additionally, I purchased the “Premier Support”. They tell you online that you get next day service. From my personal experience I can assure you it is untrue.

All 44 cases against Trump’s admin cite violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires justification for major policy changes. Instead, they acted out of revenge, replace career officials with loyalists & push a Christian nationalist agenda— Why they'll lose at all levels.

I hope you are all calling your reps in DC. If you have a Dem Senator please make sure to call them. Especially if their name appears on this list. These reps affirmed trumps picks and we need them to shut down the senate until the lawlessness ends. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.
