A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. TOMORROW MORNING: everyone MUST call en masse. Do you have a recurring donation to your Democratic Senator? PULL IT IF THEY ARE VOTING YES. We can still fight back!!

How do we win against tyranny when "leaders" like @schumer.senate.gov insist on surrendering before they've even arrived at the battle? We The People have been abandoned. If the CR passes the Democratic Party is dead.

Topple the dominos…

None of what they're doing is popular. There is a *market* for resistance and demand greatly outpaces supply at the moment. The companies and politicians that figure this out first are going to be the ones that ride the wave.

Yep

🚨SOS!!🚨 a whistleblower who works in the federal govt just got this info to me. You guys they are dismantling Social Security. It’s happening right now. Like, NOW. With an interruption in services in 2-3 months. I can’t say who this person is but they’re in a position to know. SPREAD THE WORD! 🧵

Remember in an emergency those with disabilities, in prison, the poor & the elderly are left behind. Don’t leave them. Plan in advance. Don’t comply to this death by billionaire design. We must be as smart as we think we are.

These 17 House #Republicans won their elections by FEWER votes than the number of people in their districts that will be impacted by the GOP's plan to gut #Medicaid in exchange for more tax cuts for the rich. Again, the capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121

A # of problems would have been greatly reduced by white men simply liking themselves instead of measuring their self-worth by the oppression of others. The ideology of white supremacy & patriarchy is a collective self-esteem failure that prevented many people from building a self-worth on merit.

Where the hell are the #Democrats right now? Coward #Republicans don’t want to face their angry constituents at town hall events? It’s time for YOU to fill every empty meeting space in your district. These people are gonna remember who showed up. Let it be you! This is where we make #history! #usa

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

U.S. Atty Ed Martin publicly stated today that he doesn't serve the People of the US or the Constitution, but rather that he's the attorney of President Poopypants. That's a violation of his oath of office & the role he holds. I've reported him to the DC Bar and I hope you will too at dcbar.org

He nails it.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

We are one news cycle away from Trump giving military aid to Russia.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

These cards working overtime to calm me down today…

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

If Congress doesn't do something about Trump then Trump will doing something about Congress

New on MSNBC: Pete Hegseth is considering firing a slate of military generals and flag officers as early as this week, according to two defense officials and three congressional officials.

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

We are mobilizing. #50501movement #politicalrevolution #fiftyfiftyone

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

@raskin.house.gov: "In that network of rightwing billionaire libertarian-turned-authoritarians, they are very open about the fact that they think democracy is obsolete, we're living in a post-Constitutional America, and they are trying to get everyone ready for a technostate monarchy."

Just discovered that Don Bacon posted this last Friday.

How do we get ideas on Mark Cuban's @mcuban.bsky.social radar? We need people w/ money & power to help a revolution, right? I'm smart & have ideas but no platform. A SAHM (former mental health/homelessness advocate) from the midwest. I've got kids to protect & I'm not giving up.Someone listen to me!

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
