Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Not sure what part of “do not comply in advance” they don’t understand but there is a major disconnect we need to address. Elected officials who ignore the voice of the people AND the expertise of scholars who have dedicated their lives to studying how to fight fascism need to step down.

I have been very disappointed by so many people in the past 5 months, and I have almost come to expect it. But MAN! @schatz.bsky.social really hurts 😢

We can’t unsee what we saw this week. “Senate Democrats didn't just squander an opportunity to rein in Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They confirmed all the stereotypes that have made them toxic to progressives and swing voters alike.” Time for a rebellion. @brianbeutler.bsky.social

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity. Firing federal workers and cutting public programs is going to end up costing us MORE, not less.

Just to answer some of your questions: We are asking Senate Democrats to vote NO on cloture without a path to winning a clean 30-day continuing resolution. Cloture requires 60 votes, so the Senate GOP will need Democratic support. Urge your senators to hold the line. 👇

🚨 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

Happy International Women's Day!

My son in-law works in the Wmpt. office. The “For Rent” sign went up yesterday. No one in the office has been fired, but there’s been zero communication concerning protocol for these workers when they can no longer get into the building. www.sungazette.com/news/top-new...
