Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

There are 3 types of people since Oct 7th. Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids. Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids. And those of us who condemn the killing of both. Don’t be in the first 2 groups - the 1st one dominates our politics & media.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Woke up this morning to learn that the federal government had paused all federal grants--meaning all the funds that support our WIC programs, federally qualified health centers, sexually-transmitted infections control efforts--all in question. No communication, no direction. This is not normal.
