I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill.

They vote in the morning.

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.

Do America a favor and don't watch this show. The Pauls are a great example of what's wrong.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

β€œIt’s extremely alarming that grants that have been vetted by the scientific community and deemed important and impactful to understand the world are now being cancelled because of political ideology,” says @lkfazio.bsky.social.

β€œThis is direct censorship of scientific research.”

Emma of Normandy was a fascinating woman. See Episodes 327-367 of @thebhp.bsky.social for Emma's influence on Anglo-Saxon England (although all of Chapter 8 is really great).

FOTUS's behavior is just him being terrible at this.

Vance's behavior.... that's sabotage, that's following marching orders.

These are great questions if you are still gaslighting yourself about what you voted for.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The Democrats are leading the court battles against Trump, which they're largely winning. The Democrats are leading rallies, holding the Senate floor, and other forms of protest. I'm tired of hearing "Why won't the Democrats do something?" They ARE. Stop griping. Get on board.

Chris Kluwe 'figured' he would get arrested for protesting MAGA β€” and he'd do it again (exclusive) Chris Kluwe, a former NFL kicker for the Minnesota Vikings, tells The Advocate about getting arrested for protesting MAGA proposals on his city council.

Just had an excellent interview with @advocate.com, and I really think this one is worth your time to read.

Oppose Safety Net Cuts to Fund Billionaire Tax Breaks - Vote Tues 2/25 β­‘ 5 Calls UPDATE (02/21/25): Early on Feb 21st, Senate Republicans passed their own slimmed down budget resolution. The Senate plan does not yet extend the 2017 …

🚨 The House will vote on their extreme Trump-endorsed budget on Tues. We can block this! A budget that mandates $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital programs to pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich is NOT POPULAR.
