Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.

My Bay Area colleague, @repkevinmullin.bsky.social, came to the House Floor — post-surgery — using a walker, to vote NO on the budget. Rep. Pettersen brought her newborn from Colorado to vote NO. We’re pulling out all the stops—@housedemocrats.bsky.social are not going down without a fight.

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

House Republicans narrowly passed their budget resolution by a 217-215 vote, paving the way for significant cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs while prioritizing tax breaks for the already-vulgarly-wealth, despite adding trillions to the national debt.

Weekly pep talk: For federal employees- 1) do your job well because the work you do matters. 2) don’t violate the law and give them an easy reason to target you. This includes the Hatch Act. 3) treat coworkers, subordinates, and supervisors kindly- this crap is hurting everyone. 4) take breaks.

To the DOJ/FBI who remain, Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda. Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials. It will not work here either. Proceed accordingly. America

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform. I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.
