We are devastated by the loss of Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband. We wish Senator John Hoffman and his wife a speedy recovery.

Our hearts are with their loved ones and their communities, and we reiterate that political violence has absolutely no place in our democracy

Has America Reached the End of the Road? Donald Trump has forced the one crisis that will tell us who we are.

β€œThis Saturday, April 19, will mark the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord and it’s darkly fitting that America stands today at one of the three or four great crossroads of our grand experiment in democracy and self-government since.”

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!
