AOC: "I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill. Those games won’t fool anyone. It won’t trick voters, it won’t trick House members. People will not forget it."

Here’s hoping Elon Musk won’t have to personally fix President Trump’s new EV anytime soon.

Blaming Democrats for a government shutdown during a GOP trifecta is cute, but unserious.

Republicans are using the threat of a shutdown to try to ram through an extreme bill that threatens Social Security, cuts important programs, and gives Trump and Musk even MORE latitude to dismantle the federal government. Senate Democrats must hold the line, and they need to hear from you ASAP. 👇

I don't want any Democrat to work with any Republican on any Trump agenda item. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Problem with having a freakishly plugged in, high-info base is you cannot possibly get away with this kind of thing. Everyone will understand what you’re doing.

Some context on Schumer's 'strategy' from Jake Sherman: "Schumer gives MAGA votes to get cloture in exchange for a vote on the 30-day CR. 30-day CR would go down, in that context. Needless to say, the White House thinks a shutdown would benefit them politically. deadline is Friday"

House Republicans have snuck a provision into a procedural resolution being voted on today which would block any effort to force a vote to repeal the national emergency being used by President Trump to levy tariffs. This is the modern-day equivalent of the 'Gag Rule.'

🚨 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

From 2020-2022, "more than $1 billion flowed from more than 3,500 foundations and high-net-worth donors to about 150 nonprofits that advocate purging people from the voting rolls, restricting vote-by-mail or early voting, removing drop boxes, and other ways of making it harder for people to vote."

Yarvin: “If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia,” Vance agreed, ‘calling for trump to destroy the administrative state and replace them with “our people”. Like Yarvin, he compared the fed government to a conquered enemy.’ #teslatakedown

Emphasizing this because I know what it feels like from personal experience (speaking out on LGBTQ+ rights; Gamergate; The Recent Bullshit), and it really fucking sucks, and if we want a better world we have to be able to speak truth to power

Musk doesn't get how nonviolent protest works. Why are we Troublemakers? Because as Rep. John Lewis, RIP, knew: in hard times, good trouble is ESSENTIAL to all that we love. When the world is at risk, when democracy is at risk, we're either troublemakers—or collaborators. So: who's a Troublemaker?

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

as the administration feels impotent in the face of things larger than them (global investor class) they will take revenge on things smaller than them (insubordinate non-citizens)

#TeslaTakedown is a people's protest, coast to coast and spreading worldwide. There's no 'there' there to stop, no central point of control that can end it. If Musk wants to stop this movement he should dismantle DOGE and stop his reckless and deadly actions.

Bernie tonight visited another purple congressional district held by a Republican. This one in Kenosha represented by Bryan Steil. The massive turnout should tell you that there's a populist revolt brewing.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.
