How Senate Democrats Can Shut Down Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball

Right now, Senate Dems can do three things:
1. Blanket opposition
2. Quorum calls
3. Block unanimous consent

We have a detailed playbook for them (and you!) right here: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Salinas Statement on Trump’s Harmful Tariffs Today, Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) issued the following statement after President Trump announced steep tariffs that will raise prices for working families and cripple our economy.

Let’s be clear: This is just another Republican Rip Off that will hurt working families in my district.

President Trump needs to abandon this foolish scheme and start working with Congress on real solutions that will actually bring down costs. (4/4)

Feds cancel research meetings, raising fears about jobs, hundreds of millions to Oregon • Oregon Capital Chronicle Researchers are worried about the federal cancellation of meetings last week which are key to hundreds of millions in funding to Oregon.

Trump just canceled key NIH funding meetings, putting $500M+ in Oregon research and 5,000+ jobs at risk.

How Democrats Can Start Fighting Back Too many in the party are overcomplicating the simple and unable to muster any opposition to Trump.

Shoutout to @danpfeiffer.bsky.social His latest open.substack.com/pub/messageb... lays it out: Dems need to stop overcomplicating, start talking, and make Trump less popular. Opposition isn't about nuance—it's about volume, accountability, and relentless pushback. #Resistance #Democrats #Trump2.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

We must unite as a community, support one another, and stay informed about developments that affect our well-being. Advocate for protecting vital services and ensuring that all needs, especially the most vulnerable, are met. #FundMedicare #CallYOURCongressperson #FundHeadStart #FundYourPromises

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you:

I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.

John Ratcliffe has a record of ignoring the law, misrepresenting basic facts, and has shown he's willing to do or say whatever will please Donald Trump. Pretty much the opposite of what you want in a CIA director. I'll be voting no on his nomination.

🌍 In a divided world, let’s choose kindness. Our words and actions can uplift or harm. Smile often. Let’s take responsibility and build a compassionate community together. 💙
