Gavin Newsom, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin walk into a volcano. That's it. That's the skeet.

It takes no imagination to consider how Trump would use the new authority he'd get from the House GOP slush fund bill to threaten and bully states across the country—you do what he says or he blows up your entire state budget. I will vote NO.

Democrats cannot give a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk to continue their destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and more. We have to stand up for the American people. Senate Democrats must hold the line and vote NO on this Republican spending bill.

Sometimes when I’m with my kids I look at them and have to stop myself from just bursting into tears because I’m so angry and afraid of the way their world is being destroyed and I do not know what they will be left with

@cantwell.senate.gov where do you stand on cloture and the CR? I’ve called your office and left a message but I’d feel better if you publicly committed to “no”.

Social security is a set of trust funds with a balance of about $2.7 trillion as of December 2024. We are the source of these funds. It belongs to us. These funds should be protected so we can protect each other. www.ssa.gov/oact/progdat...

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Don’t tell me that Trump/Musk are not trying to destroy Social Security. 30,000 people died last year while waiting to get their benefits. Under this new policy, those numbers will skyrocket. We can’t kill seniors so that billionaires get their tax breaks.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.
