It's so tiresome how the same folks who claim to believe in the personal responsibility "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" ideology rally around a guy who had everything handed to him and takes responsibility for NOTHING.

House Republicans hit the brakes on town halls after blowback over Trump's cuts A number of Republican lawmakers faced significant pushback in their home districts over Trump and Elon Musk's slashing of the federal government.

"Probably the best way for that to happen is no more town halls."

This is a line Democrats should revisit on Vought from @schatz.bsky.social:

"Why doesn’t government run like a business? Let me tell you why: because if you ran government like a business, you would shut down every rural hospital.”

“If confirmed the director of OMB, Russ Vought may well be the most important man that no one’s ever heard of,” said Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz.

The Project2025 author said during his confirmation hearing that he expected to challenge the constitutionality of the 1974 Impoundment Control Act.

Sen Brian Schatz -what a leader!

Kudos to Senator Brian Schatz…..

Amy Klobuchar is speaking on the Senate floor at 12:20am, as the Dems filibuster this hearing to confirm the CO-AUTHOR of Project 2025 to lead the Office of Management and Budget. One of the most dangerous nominees yet.

A facebook post from Lisa Murkowski: I want to thank Alaskans who have been reaching out to my offices in D.C. and across Alaska. The U.S. Senate phone system has been receiving around 1,600 calls each minute, compared to the 40 calls per minute we usually receive, which has disrupted our call systems. Thank you for your patience as my staff works to review your messages and share them with me. We’re all working to get this issue resolved as quickly as possible.

Murkowski says call volume to the Senate is now 40x higher than normal:

@shasti.bsky.social has done a phenomenal job leading the @wadems.org and the @thedemcoalition.bsky.social will benefit from her joining the leadership team as a VP.

Congrats Shasti & @thedemcoalition.bsky.social!

Join me in supporting @shasti.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair. She is the future we need!

This graphic includes a photo of Shasti with white blazer and a photo of the YDA recommendation logo.

Blue background with lotus flower trim with this text: “As Chair of the Washington State Democrats Shasti has made sure to uplift and empower voices of young people. Shasti has put young democrats in positions of power by putting them on the Executive Committee and as committee chairs. She has also made sure to help young people get on the ballot and supported them running for office from city councils and school board to legislature to US Congress. She has served as a mentor of young people on countless campaigns and advocated for their inclusion at decision-making levels. Shasti has been a constant supporter of young people and would make a great representative for them as DNC Vice-Chair.”

I am thrilled to share that the @youngdems.bsky.social have recommended our campaign for DNC Vice Chair. We need young people’s talent and vision in our work to build a stronger, more successful Democratic Party. This is an incredible honor. Thank you!

Just got off a call where I had the chance to hear from Shasti. She’s the Washington state Dem chair & running for DNC Vice Chair.

She is a voice that deserves your attention. Please, give her a follow BlueSky!

I couldn’t be more excited to endorse @shasti.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

I have know Shasti for nearly 5 years, and have seen her commitment to youth engagement up close. I am confident she will champion youth representation in the Party and help us WIN again.

Let’s do this!

Yes

You guys I just want to say that I encourage you to flesh this out, perfect it, dump it, adopt it verbatim, whatever you want. These are not magic words and activism is not about finding the exact phrasing in the replies. We just need to hit roughly the same theme, as simply as possible.
