Now we need Dems to set up town halls in those districts. Bring local Dem candidates and legislators to field questions. Run someone in every Damn race. @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

THIS DEMS NEED TO FIELD QUESTIONS WHERE GOP FOLK REFUSE TO SPEAK

Democrats! Now's your chance to head to these places and host some town halls.

❗️I support 🇺🇦President Volodymyr Zelensky Ukraine has never had such a worthy president

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

🤷 #UkrainianView

Stand tall President Zalenski! WE are with You Do Not give him what he and Putin want💙 apple.news/AP5h0PlWQSTW...

Dear #MAGA when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.

Residents across Florida’s 1st District depend on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. We can’t let them take these vital programs away to fund billionaire’s tax cuts. In Congress, I will fight for us. #VoteValimont 🍊 Special Election: April 1st, 2025 gayforcongress.com

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

🚨URGENT: Special elections are coming up in Florida’s congressional districts FL-01 and FL-06. However, many Democrats got purged from voter rolls. Verify your status NOW—either online or in person. The deadline is March 3rd! Don’t let them silence you. Spread the word! 🗳️ registertovoteflorida.gov

Each week, The Contrarian selects an "Undaunted" individual working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez AOC speaks to Americans as responsible, engaged citizens. She lays out the stakes clearly & empowers ordinary people to courageously fight for democracy.

The Wall Street Journal congratulated Bezos as its ideological "wingman in the fight." If that is what you are looking for, by all means, support WaPo. Instead, if you are looking for fearlessly pro-democracy news, analysis and opinion, support Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

ICYMI: If it’s a Shutdown, it’s not on Dems!

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

This is a shameful, despicable and enraging act of cowardice. We had better be prepared to stand in defiance of this assault by Trump’s forces. In solidarity. ✊🏾❤️🇺🇸

New preliminary injunction barring DOGE from Treasury data systems requires govt to provide, by 3/24, proof of DOGErs' training in relevant laws & regs, security clearances, *and* full explanations of their chains of command.

Focus on the positive: this has overall been a very bad week for Trump! * he is falling in the polls - both his favorability and his policies * he lost his first Supreme Court case on firing an watchdog, setting the way for others fired to fight back 1/

Donald Trump — The House resolution "implements my FULL America First Agenda, EVERYTHING, not just parts of it." The House plan slashes $880 billion from Medicaid—TRUMP OWNS THIS!!! Democrats need to speak out now—LOUDLY. Don’t Cut My Medicaid 📢

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.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker offers dire warning on Trump... https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1itfoln/gov_jb_pritzker_offers_dire_warning_on_trump/

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.

A small government team at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, responsible for regulating autonomous cars—which Elon Musk claims are the future of Tesla—is being cut nearly in half by Musk. Conflict of interest?

🚨Florida Congressional District 1 🚨 The special election is coming up on April 1 and we’re counting on YOU to help make a difference. Sign up for a phone bank shift from now until Election Day:

Remember when you were in school and you read "The Diary of Anne Frank" and you thought of all the things you would have done to stop the Nazis? Do those things now.

You had it right the first time.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Might also be smart to download your Social Security information.....

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York raised the prospect of removing Mayor Eric Adams from office and announced plans to meet on Tuesday with city leaders to discuss “the path forward” amid calls for his resignation. Here’s what to know.

🗣️ WATCH: “It’s the largest scam in human history. These are the richest people ever. Richer than Attila the Hun.” Sully explains how Trump/Musk/the GOP are (again) using tiny budget cuts to distract us as they cut TRILLIONS in taxes for the ultra-rich🎯💰 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGN7W6v...

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Student loan forgiveness is a Band-Aid that only helps one generation. What we need is structural reform that addresses the cause, which requires legislation. If politicians don’t come at it from that angle, they’re just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Well done Rep Jahana Hayes 🔥 (CT-5)
