Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone

They pulled Hillary's fingernails out one by one over an email server.

And now we've got an unelected official and some hackers stealing everything.

No wonder half their voicemail boxes are full.

WE. HAVE. HAD. IT.

Thank you!

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every toolβ€”including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consentβ€”to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I've hit my breaking point. I feel hopeless and broken. I miss the person I was before pneumonia, all I deal with now is recurring illness. Even as I'm getting ahead and looking for answers from doctors to help me. I still feel hopeless. Today was hard.

Feels like a good time to remind everyone that if you are a public servant wishing to report retaliation, acts of corruption or abuse of government power, I have a page for that on my website: www.wyden.senate.gov/whistleblowe...

I'm trying to keep up with this; the party of pro-life has
1) ended cancer research
2) pulled us out of the WHO
3) Frozen communications and updates for the NIH and the CDC
4) raised prescription prices previously capped
5) out of Paris Climate Accords again
6) FDA and HHS gone Dark

1.21.25 Sermon by The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde
YouTube video by Washington National Cathedral 1.21.25 Sermon by The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde

We've all seen the short clip, but I heartily invite you to watch the entire 14-minute homily.

This is a simple, beautiful expression of Christian faith. The message we followers of Jesus are asked to speak with our words and represent with our lives each and everyday.

Imagine being so triggered by a minister asking for mercy for marginalized people that you go on a childish twitter rant.
