We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Secretary Lutnick: You are a billionaire. Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would. They're not fraudsters. They earned it. How out of touch are you not to realize that?

Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice. I cannot ignore what Trump is doing to our democracy and our country. Or more precisely, I will not. So, I won’t. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

“'It feels like veterans are being personally attacked by Elon Musk,' said one veteran in the ad. 'I did not put my life on the line for some tech bro billionaire from South Africa to come in here and try to destroy our country,' said another." www.thebulwark.com/p/veterans-g...

Why have Musk-backed PACs spent $10M on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race? It's not just to uphold WI's abortion ban and gerrymandered maps. Tesla is suing WI over a state law that hurts its bottom line — a case that could be decided by its Supreme Court. Follow the money.

Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent. That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do. Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wo...

DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS. The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country. We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

🚨 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

🚨Measles cases in the US surge 35% in ONE WEEK—now at 222 in 12 states. We’re nearing last year’s TOTAL of 285, and it’s only March. Two deaths already, both unvaccinated. Texas is the epicenter with 198 cases. The CDC’s weekly data lags, so the numbers are likely even higher.

TELL THE TRUTH. The Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown has a bunch of poison pills. Example: It zeroes out the Toxic Exposures Fund to care for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. Heartless MONSTERS who HATE our vets.

🚨 Trump and Musk want to fire federal workers, gut public services, and hand our government to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen. 📢 Join us this Thursday at 8PM ET for a mass call to hear how we fight back—together.

I have talked to veterans all over the country. They’re not happy that, when the VA is already understaffed, Musk wants to dismember the VA by laying off 83,000 employees. A commitment has been made to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. We must not betray them.

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

NEXT WEEK: All of those Republicans who are cheering on the Trump-Musk coup will be back home for congressional recess. We can’t let the GOP escape the fury of their constituents. Even though Republicans are afraid to talk to voters right now, we can still make them squirm: indivisible.org/muskorus

Ludicrous of @markwarner.bsky.social to sidestep telling Americans the truth here, which is that Mexico is a big reason for the lower border crossings, as part of an arrangement negotiated by Biden. Is that really too hard to explain, Senator? Why make it easier for Trump to mislead?

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch: Check your 401k. Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%. No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.

The GOP keeps calling itself as a working-class party. But their budget plan calls for huge tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and slashing programs that help the working-class. Don't fall for their rebrand.

Tomorrow, Donald Trump is going to talk about how America is Great Again, thanks to him. The truth? Food and other costs are up. Corruption is way up. And he’s making Russia great again, while making America look small and weak. An awful start to an administration.
