I hate to say ‘I told you so’ but… I told you so. Seven years ago:

So a Major tornado outbreak just happened in the southern US... And Trump is golfing while trying to defund NOAA, NWS, and FEMA. The agencies that ensure disaster recovery and weather alerts... And trump is busy golfing.

A typical human story. Acceptance of abuse invites more abuse, even if retaliation can be costly. People are warier of people who hit back.

I think the key takeaway from the Senate democrats on the CR is that we need new leadership. We are going to have the same problem in September if Schumer stays at the helm. And you know you have a problem when Pelosi, Jefferies, Nate Silver, and democratic centrists all come out against you.

It's not too late. There's still a chance to stop this CR... and potentially humiliate Schumer out of leadership in the process, although no promises there. This backlash is very, very real though. Call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on cloture. 202-224-3121.

‼️‼️ I will raise money to help fund a primary challenge against ANY Democratic senator who votes YES on cloture or YES on the Republican spending bill.

CALL CHUCK SCHUMER'S SENATE OFFICE AND TELL HIM TO RESIGN FOR HIS PATHETIC CAVING TO MAGA ROBBER BARONS AND FASCISTS (202) 224-6542

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

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.

Via @alander.bsky.social: Cagle, a nonprofit co-director, will face Republican nominee Matt Woods in the June election in the district, which has been solidly red over the last several years.

Hey Alabama join us our @ campaign! Let's make this happen! @sanders.senate.gov @aldemocrats.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov

Good advice ⬇️

New EO, same mission. Still holding the line over here! 🥄

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
