This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

What if democracy truly worked for everyone—not just the 1%?
Imagine a world where:
— Every voice matters.
— Wealth didn’t equal power.
— The people set the agenda, not the elite.
Democracy isn’t broken. It’s being hoarded.
Let’s take it back. For the 99%.
#peoplepowerunited #democracymatters

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

Any lip readers here? Lol

Trump wants to close the US Education Department. What does that mean for NJ schools? Trump's plan to reduce or shut it would hit NJ's poorest children, students with disabilities, & college students who receive federal grants and loans.

Trump wants to close the US Education Department. What does that mean for NJ schools?
NJ gets $1 billion in federal K-12 funding.
180,000 low-income NJ college students received $790 million in federal Pell Grants in 2022.

This is probably the most accurate take.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Musk is Shelby Forthright from Wall-E isn’t he…

Health insurance is not meant to keep you healthy.

It’s meant to serve as an obstacle to care while picking your pocket.

Elon Musk is the single biggest beneficiary of U.S. government contracts.

Taxpayers are subsidizing the “fire hose of hate and falsehoods” that now appear on X that Musk bought for $44 billion two years ago.

Do you see a pattern here? Does this make you angry?

“You’ve got to call off your weekend plans, you’ve got to piss off your colleagues. But the tools are there.”

Democrats aren’t helpless. They have tools at their disposal that can grind Senate business to a halt if the GOP tries to ram through Trump’s extreme agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

We Choose to Fight

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 tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...
