Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.

Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is who Trump governs for.

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

Minnesota GOP Sen. Justin Eichorn arrested after alleged attempt to solicit minor for sex, police say Police in the Twin Cities say a Grand Rapids man, who is a state senator, has been arrested for allegedly trying to solicit sex from a minor.

Nothing is surprising anymore. This is the same guy who co-authored the MN bill listing Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental health illness.

By moving to the β€œcenter,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.

There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.

Dems need to learn this.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

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.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
