This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Companies are closing, or laying off. Stocks have taken a nose dive, the dollar is dropping, and investors are realizing that their money is not safe in US bonds. Where is Congress? Are they silent because many of them are counting on getting richer through insider trading, and the great selloff?

@repstevenhorsford.bsky.social Thank you Congressman Horsford for telling it like it is. You referenced how the tariffs impacted the stock market & Americans’ 401Ks & asked “what billionaire just got richer?” Republicans left the hearing, & are planning to give big tax breaks to billionaires.

@barackobama.bsky.social I heard you say last night that our democratic ideals have eroded because we got too complacent. They eroded because Republicans after J6 decided to again kiss the ring; Merrick Garland dragged his feet to prosecute; Sup Ct ruled against the Constitution in favor of a king!

@warren.senate.gov Messaging Matters. In the confirmation hearing today for the new Social Security Commissioner, you used the term “benefits that people are legally entitled to”. Instead use “that Americans paid into” as people understand that it was taken from their paychecks.

@barackobama.bsky.social So ‘happy’ that Obama has revealed his March Madness brackets for men’s & women’s NCAA basketball tourneys. I’m a WBB fanatic, but I’m in the streets & on national calls most days of the week regarding the battle against autocracy. We need all hands on deck.

@joemygod.bsky.social Please cover the Fighting Oligarchy Tour on your site. Last night, 34,000 people attended the rally led by Sanders & AOC in Denver. I checked ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC & Apple News sites this A.M. & there was no mention of this.

To those elected officials who talk about the “paid protestors”, please let me know what I need to do to get my payment. I’ve been attending rallies and mass calls several times a week since before Trump was inaugurated. I haven’t received a cent! /s

Re: Chief Justice Roberts statement. You think you gonna school Trump NOW on his statement about impeaching a judge he disagrees with? You had your chances re: Trump being on the ballot in CO & other states. Then you outdid yourself w immunity ruling! You knew who he was then & now.

Messaging Matters. Please call Elon & his band of marauders DODGY, instead of doge. The term “doge” is Trump speak and legitimizes a department unauthorized by Congress. We need to use OUR terminology, NOT THEIRS.

@schumer.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @repraulruizmd.bsky.social Thank you Senators Padilla & Schiff, & Rep. Ruiz for your vote re: budget & standing up against MAGA. The House got played by Schumer. Elections have consequences & so do votes in House & Senate.

@sanders.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Sen. Bernie Sanders holds Town Halls in the heartland, as many Republicans refuse to hear from their constituents. Chuck Schumer, on the other hand has determined that the best strategy is to relinquish power.

@schumer.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov So Sen. Schumer has decided to sell us out!!!! Chuck, you said you are doing this to protect vulnerable Senate Dems. What about the vulnerable American public? And they wonder why Dems lose elections!

@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Watching to see if the Senate Dems will cave re: Musk/Trump budget is like Europeans learning that their gov’t officials were deciding to appease Hitler at the onset of WWII.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Stop with the nonsense Centrist train that will jeopardize MILLIONS of Americans. DON’T sell us out. The Republicans have ALREADY shut down the gov’t! Stop with the mainstream media message that Dems will own the shutdown. Grow a spine!

Messaging Matters: Those who say that Senate Dems will cause a gov’t shutdown because they won’t vote for House GOP Funding Bill need to remember that Musk/Trump & Republican Congress have already been shutting down the gov’t with their dismantling of government departments and services.

Will the Group of Seven (G-7) become the G-6? Previously known as the G-8; Russia was a member from 1998-2014, but was suspended after annexing Crimea, a territory in Ukraine. Will Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, & UK want to deal with US govt, who is allied w Putin?

The situation our country faces is no surprise to me. This is what happens when you have one party that is now dedicated to authoritarianism, and the other party does not know how to organize a fightback.

Senator John Fetterman, the PA version of Joe Manchin, said he plans to vote in favor the budget bill to avoid a govt shutdown. “I refuse to burn the village down and to claim to save it,” Dude, the village IS BURNING & Musk/Trump have been doing rolling shutdowns.

Stop calling Social Security & Medicare “entitlements”. FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) requires employers to withhold $ from employees gross income: 6.2% Social Security tax, 1.45% Medicare tax, & 0.9% Medicare surtax. We PAY into this & I’m not willing to give it to billionaires!!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com My wife & I feel traumatized every time you play clips of Trump. You frequently will show long clips of him from first term in office, as well as his statements on the campaign trail, etc. From your facial expressions, you enjoy displaying his stupidity. Please stop.

Messaging is essential. I spoke to a sibling who voted for Trump. He defended Trump/Musk firings of fed. workers. I explained it as part of Project2025 & asked if he wanted payments that were taken out of his paychecks for Social Security to instead pay for tax cuts to billionaires. He said no.

Tonight, Senator Jon Ossoff (D) of GA was on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show. He talked about the total capitulation by Republicans in the Senate. He said that “historians are going to fill books about the total abdication by this Republican Congress. . .” Me: only if we win. History written by winners.
