@schumer.senate.gov “If Trump doesn’t obey the Supreme Court.” That, he stated would be “different than anything else. It’s a quantum leap different, because our democracy is then—248 years of American democracy, the Magna Carta is out the window, and we will all have to take extraordinary action.”

@schumer.senate.gov Minority Leader Schumer, What is the plan to repatriate Mr. Abrego-Garcia to his home and family? Not talk about it. Not ask questions about it. What specific actions is your legislative body taking to save democracy? Which is what this is. I am a U.S. Citizen, and I vote.

This is beyond dangerous. Hackathons are a great way to crowd source potential solutions. All the while, opening the doors (wider) to cyber threats and actual Black Hat hacking. On the other hand, it's only the IRS. What could possibly go sideways?

@schumer.senate.gov, step down. The time has come to enjoy your subsidized book tour, along with the privileges and comforts your career has afforded you, at the expense of our country.

The 10 Demopublicans are a disgrace. Waiting to hopefully win in the midterms is not a winning strategy. It leaves the judiciary as the country's only white knight. And that isn't enough. It is for the Coffee Party to stand up. #DemopublicansAreCowards #SaveAmerica #CoffeeParty

@schumer.senate.gov Your decision has consequences. I am calling for you to immediately step down as Leader. The courts are holding firm. You could not. Please do the right thing.

In yesterday's essay, @hcrichardson.bsky.social reminded us of Edmund Burke's observation that by trying to force reality to fit their ideology, radical ideologues will end up imposing tyranny in the name of liberty. As the Rs stop time to abdicate their responsibilities. youtu.be/xKDPrsMaZU8?...

@schiff.senate.gov Senator Schiff, Where is your voice, what action are you taking to stop the madness? Where is the coalition of Senators who will stand against the would-be dictator? What action will you take? When will you take it? How can I help? With deep respect... #StopTheDictator

How is this even legal? Congress declares that the rest of the year is just one day so they don't have to vote on stopping Trumps tariffs. We are in the upside down. #JoyceVance #HeatherCoxRichardson #CNN #CBS #ABC HELP US!!!!! youtu.be/xKDPrsMaZU8?...

Hmm. Drusk said he is the voice of the common man. Hired billionaires to fill his cabinet. He hired the world's richest meat bag to run the whole thing. Who pulled billions of dollars from common people and is now cutting programs common people rely on. Are people's eyes wide shut? #SaveDemocracy

Could this happen? Trump halts assistance to Ukraine. President Zelinsky negotiated an end to the war, and Russia was given significant regions of Ukraine. Putin presses into Poland. Because the USA is aligned with Russia, Trump pushes Congress to declare war and America joins the fight.

In their "Today In Politics, Bulletin 76", Meidas Touch reports that Trump is expected to announce that the USPS will be placed under control of his Commerce Secretary. This is completely illegal. The constitution gives power to the Congress to establish the postal service. And they did.

Mr. Elon Musk is a well-established business owner and US Government Contractor. A US Contractor with unfettered access to every US Government agency, US Government computer system, and US Government Financial systems. Does such uncontrolled access result in fair competition? #TakingBackMyRedHat

Keep an eye out for litigation related to the Antiquities Act of 1906. The Biden Administration protected 3.5 million acres, protecting Indigenous sacred sites & blocking mining & other development. Project 2025 wants to abolish the Antiquities Act and return BLM land to the states to be sold off.

Still absolutely remarkable to me that there are people above the age of 5 who think Trump’s goal is to strengthen America when it’s clearly meant to do the exact opposite. Like, you can’t get through your heads that he is a foreign asset even now. Pathetic.
