Trump, Musk and Republicans in Congress are gutting services, raising prices, and racing towards slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other life-saving programs. It’s time to fight back. app.sosha.ai/s/mq6EjtI2

While Mark Zuckerberg wore a shirt, “Aut Zuck aut nihil,” a play on the Latin phrase “Aut Caesar aut nihil”: “Either Caesar or nothing," Jay Graber wore a shirt: “Mundus sine caesaribus.” Or, “a world without Caesars.”

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.
Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.
The "SAVE Act" may come up for a vote as early as next week & must be stopped!
SAVE would prevent millions of eligible voters from voting, especially women.
Call your Senators/Rep & tell them VOTE NO! Call 202-224-3121 to connect.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Trump on “Truth Social”: “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Trump tonight: “I brought back free speech in America. It’s back.”

The "SAVE Act" may come up for a vote as early as next week & must be stopped!
It makes it harder to register to vote & will purge registered voters from the rolls.

Attention working-class Americans:
Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.
Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.
And yet they refuse to see.

🚨 Trump & Elon Musk illegally revoked $80 MILLION in congressionally appropriated FEMA funds from NYC’s bank account yesterday—money previously disbursed for shelter & services—says NYC Comptroller Brad Lander.
Lander is demanding that the state pursue legal action.
Statement:
"There is something wrong with Gabbard. The pull of conspiracism—particularly anti-American conspiracism—seems to be her overriding mental frame."
