A vote for Cuomo is a vote to put Trump in charge of NYC

It didn’t end well for the last county that went to war with a bird… 🤡 #TeamPenguin

Wikler cooked Musk here

In Finding Hope for Corals, Dr. Madhavi Colton works to save coral reefs. Despite most people giving up, she goes to work every day. She found that the rate of evolution in corals can be fast enough to adapt if we take action to reduce overfishing and pollution. We can have hope. #ENVSCOMM25

Great news! The American Oystercatcher has seen its numbers increase by 45% over 15 years due to the American Oystercatcher Recovery Campaign. With government agencies at all levels and non-profits working together, it is a compelling blueprint for future conservation efforts. #ENVSCOMM25

Hype!

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Donald Trump just congratulated Chuck Schumer on his decision to vote YES on the Republican CR. @schumer.senate.gov , you are on the wrong side!

Good morning to all our American & Canadian brothers and sisters 🇨🇦🇺🇸 After seeing the 💩 show in the White House yesterday, it has shown how critical it is to Fight for Democracy & Unite and Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇦 #DefendersOfDemocracyStandWithUkraine

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

(Guardian) - French far-right leader Jordan Bardella has cancelled his speech at the US Conservative Political Action Conference conference after former Trump aide Steve Bannon appeared to make a Nazi salute at the end of his speech last night .. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Keep in mind this amazing ruling by the WI Supreme Court only came about due to a big Democratic pickup in 2023 and on April 1st the WI Supreme Court will once again be on the ballot (no it's not a joke).

In case anyone still thought appeasement worked 🙄

2. Help Democrats The success of any opposition rests on the opposing party taking power. Next time you want to attack a Democrat for being too much of this or too little of that, realize that you are only helping the GOP. Instead, find a Democrat you support and volunteer for their campaign.

As a child, my dad and I would watch nature documentaries like Blue Planet and Planet Earth. Growing up in the heart of NYC with limited experience in “nature,” my love of the Earth is tied to my love for my dad and our experience watching those documentaries together. #ENVSCOMM25

I just emailed Senator Gillibrand (my senator) to urge her to grow a spine and stand up for American democracy and all her constituents who are fearful of losing our rights. I urge all New Yorkers to do the same.

US Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-2131 The switchboard will transfer you to your rep regardless of your district. It may be busy. Keep calling.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

same methods, different era

To my Canadian and Mexican friends: I’m so sorry our country is backstabbing you - our closest friends. 💙 :(
