Looking back over the day’s events, I found it interesting that my reflexive response to the Trump/Vance/Zelensky debacle was not to post on Bluesky but to call my Congressman. Good. That means I’m learning. Making that call should be our ‘new normal’.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who'd like to see Town Halls loudly criticizing trump and Musk across America every week. And if Republican members of Congress don't show up, that's fine... An empty chair will work. Let's fucking DO THIS.

The House GOP passed a horrific budget blueprint that would cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid and SNAP—all to pay for huge tax cuts for the rich. To make matters worse, it would add TRILLIONS to the deficit. SIGN HERE to demand the Senate reject this plan!👇

Residents across Florida’s 1st CD depend on Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid. We can’t let the GOP cut these programs while billionaires get tax handouts. This moment calls for a fighter to represent FL & the country. @gayforcongress.bsky.social is that fighter! #DCFL

Every single Democrat voted against this week’s budget slashing Medicaid. It would have taken just 1 more Republican to join us and kill this dangerous resolution. We must keep putting pressure on Republicans – Medicaid helps all of our districts.

In FL-06, the extreme GOP budget plan threatens: ~154,432 people on Medicaid-including 99,843 children under the age of 19 & 31,000 seniors over 65. ~130,000 who count on SNAP to put food on the table. Vote for Joshua Weil, FL-06! He will work for you, not rich donors.

I called my Republican member of Congress today and told him not to vote for any bill that cuts Medicaid, and not to vote for any procedural vote that could potentially allow cuts to Medicaid. I suggest you do the same, regardless of your Representative's party affiliation. ☎️202-224-3121☎️

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt 🧵on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT

submitted 3 days ago • 602 comments

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.

#ACTION The chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1. Susan Collins (R-ME). Call her every day until this stops.

So this is the business card for Idaho’s Kootenai County Republican Central Committee’s private army who unconstitutionally dragged Teresa Borrenpoh, a female constituent, out of a public town hall meeting. It’d be a shame if they received several phone calls and emails inquiring about their crimes

What happened to this woman at a town hall in Idaho is disgusting. But since it’s catching fire, let it be a rallying cry. Go to every town hall and give ‘em hell. Don’t let them scare you. They’ll only energize us further. www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...

Im still licking my wounds from the fall BUT this is a real chance to slow down this insanity. And lots of people - even those in the GOP/MAGA - are pretty unhappy with how things are going. So let’s saddle up and try to save this country from the billionaires who are selling it for parts.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
