Could they possibly make it sound more of interest and concern to the public?

Not to get too hopeful on main but fascism hinges on the projection of strongman invincibility and every ding and crack in that image is a win for resistance.

And boy howdy was there some good dinging and cracking delivered today

Trump's Military Crackdown Is Starting To Dent His Poll Numbers New surveys show voters oppose Trump’s militarized immigration crackdown in Los Angeles.

Interesting. Polls are showing American voters don’t like the idea of being under military occupation by a wildly angry game show host for no reason

Support Ukraine. The palm Sunday attack was another war crime, added to the long list of war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine.

Abrego Garcia's case is proof that the whole program under which he was trafficked needs to be shut down, and hearings need to be held to discover who implemented the illegal program.

The President has now openly embraced disappearing people including citizens without due process to a foreign torture camp and is defying the supreme court in refusing to bring home Abrego Garcia. If impeachment doesn't follow, our country is headed for a very dark place.

I find it incredible that Mike Walz and Pete Hegseth still have jobs after leaking war plans on a commercial app, putting troops at risk, and continuing to use unsecured communications like gmail and Signal to conduct government business. It's your job to hold them accountable.

Today's calls: The no rogue rulings act is an abomination and must not pass. Crippling the one branch of government still doing its job to hold the administration accountable for its illegal actions is authoritarian nonsense

Elon Musk and President Trump continue to usurp Congress' power of the purse, depriving us of the representation that Rep Langworthy is supposed to provide. If rep Langworthy's not willing to be a steward for our rights, he should resign.

Calling to oppose the save act, again. Voting as a non-citizen is already illegal! This bill will only make it harder for people who have the right to vote to register.

3 comments for the rep today: Trump doesn't have the authority to impose tariffs! Support bipartisan legislation like the Trade Review Act of 2025 to prevent further damage to our economy.

I'd guess more. I was near the front of the march and was seeing the tail end still on Delaware from Elmwood when passing Mohawk

Thousands are seen spread out for hundreds of metres towards buildings in the distance. The mountains are seen on the horizon.

A quick 🧡of the incredible sights in cities across the USA right now.

Millions are on the street speaking out against Trump & Musk trampling the Constitution.

I was there, but I think I'm already on Elmwood marching back when this picture was taken. Crowd was huge.

Dept of Education ending Title 1 needs to be undone - we need every American to have a fair shot at the American Dream. The Order forbidding DEI in schools will hurt the most vulnerable. Our government programs are for all Americans, not just those who don't require special needs to learn.

ask that Rep Langworthy reclaim Congress's authority and work to block Trump's use of emergency powers to force tariffs that will wreck our entire economy. There should be an investigation into how something so clearly designed to hurt the American people and economy came to pass.

Urging Senator to reject the new Senate budget plan that is going against procedural rules and moving forward without necessary input from the Senate Parliamentarian. Thanks for quick actions on the tariffs. (Both Sens)

Many calls today: Pleased to see Mr Langworthy's Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization act. It's a nice departure from the daily polishing of Trump's boots and shows some concern for his constituents.

Serious contender for tariff quote of the day from @mmasnick.bsky.social. "...when you buy a toy for $50 at a store, you have a β€œtrade deficit” with that store. You gave them $50, they gave you $0. But you also got a toy. That’s not the store cheating you β€” that’s just how buying things works." πŸ”₯🧠🏦

If Nick Langworthy were doing his job by shutting down DOGE to prevent these scam artists from accessing our data and shutting down swaths of important programs, the rulings wouldn't be necessary in the first place. It's an embarrassment that he's put his name on this legislation

Today's comment, with barely restrained fury: the no rogue rulings act is a violation of the separation of powers. The reason judges - both republican and democrat - are ruling against the administration is because it is breaking the law. 1/2

Called senators about removing the two "intelligence" officials as well

Also asked them to oppose the save act, but hard to believe they'd grow a spine now.

Call 2 to rep was against doge rewriting ssa code with Junior devs, especially given musk's awful record with remaking Twitter and the permanent destruction of value he caused.

Today's calls were to both senators opposing the weakening section 230 of the dmca. Rep got 2 because first went to voice mail: trafficking people without due process, should result in investigations and jail for violators.
