YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager.

Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments.

Deadline is Monday, 11:59pmEST

👉Failure to respond = resignation

Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

And I'll say it again:

‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening.

He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

My senators are Cancun Cruz and John Cornyn. They're less likely to listen to me than even Chuck is.

Two cornerstones of understanding this regime:
1. Every accusation is a confession
2. The cruelty is the point.

Not necessarily in that order.

I've just called and said that I'm begging him from deep red Texas to be a man and a leader and stand up for his constituents and for those of us whose senators aren't representing us. DO NOT CAVE CHUCK

@gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social please do not cave on the shutdown over a promise from people who have done nothing but lie to the American people.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

There was once a time when SNAP ("food stamps") meant someone was experiencing temporary hardship that could be permanently fixed with employment. In those days, rent and utilities were better aligned with wages. Those days are gone. Today SNAP is the only way millions can eat. This is cruel.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.

But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.

Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

Yes

someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral

i will not share the video

but if you’re not speaking up about this, you’re hurting yourself

Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

TARIFFS ARE TAXES

r/boston u/Past_Election_5005 • 1d Made a website showing Boston area restaurants offering free/reduced price meals to SNAP recipients I Made This! mysnapmap.com Hoping this could help some people

sharing this incredible resource created by a poster in r/boston: a map of local restaurants offering free or discounted meals to SNAP recipients

Same question here!

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Let me tell you, the joy I am taking in imagining how apoplectic Drumpf is right now😂😂😂

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

"Oh no, not again"

My other favorite line that I've been thinking of often, subbing "ACLU" with "antifa" (paraphrasing, it's been a while):
Yes, I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. The question is, Why aren't you, Bob?

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

I've been saying this since his first term. And he damn sure tried to start wars then, but we had some guardrails left. Now, though...
