Constituent: When will you stand up to them and say that is enough? Rep. Fitzgerald: The end result of the fraud and abuse that has been discovered Crowd: Booo

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 27 Something new today. I’m including the like count of each post linked in the thread. Most people say that if the post was good, it would go viral, well these posts are great and they’re not. Hopefully, this ends that theory. 🧵

Over 1,000 people showed up in Framingham to make clear that we’re fired up and ready to fight back against every terrible policy Donald Trump and Elon Musk throw at us. 📸 John Walker

@magaziner.house.gov is a powerhouse and I don’t hear anyone talk about him nearly enough! he joined his constituents at the Fight Back Give Back Rally organized by @indivisibleri.bsky.social

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

This!👇🏼 Also, don't be the art police. If you don't like something, scroll on by. 🪄

Ryan Zinke’s website says this is where his office is. it’s pretty clear that that is a lie, but no matter, his constituents showed up anyway, to make it clear how furious they are that he is leaving them out in the cold, literally www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnWZ...

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Look at all the savings! 😡😡

Something that's maddening about the cases involving DOGE access to our most sensitive private data and the irreparable harm standard is that the ACCESS ITSELF is the irreparable harm, and some judges just aren't getting that. (Some are, e.g., storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

"Our words, relationships, and work, may be marked for criminalization, regardless of whether we are operating outside the law or not. That has always been true, but it is more true now than it has been at any other point in my lifetime."

This administration is executing layoffs and threatening funding cuts that could lead to TCU closures. TCUs are part of the Federal Govt's treaty obligations. Join our phone banking community for more information on how we can push our reps on this issue and others. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

House Republicans have a simple formula: cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations. Today, I sat down with the folks who know firsthand how Medicaid provides critical care to our families, seniors in nursing homes, and people with disabilities.

NOW: 100+ people have walked out of schools in Los Angeles, and have assembled at Mariachi Plaza to protest against ICE. Many of those speaking are high school students, or middle school students. Currently, they’re dancing.

Dolly Parton is hoping Indiana’s governor will reverse course on plans to do away with her popular “Imagination Library” program.

Fuck the NYT

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
