The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

Senate Republicans eye 'nuclear option' for rules change to speed up Trump nominees Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he plans to begin the process to change the Senate's rules Monday, allowing Republicans to confirm Trump nominees in blocks.

We’ve often criticized Democrats’ opposition strategy to Trump and Republicans’ assault on our health, economic security, and democracy — but not this time.

Democrats are right to force recorded votes on every Trump nominee. Republicans are whining only because Trump is getting fussy. 🧵

To appease their king, the GOP will once again change the rules to screw over the American people.

When the rules of budget reconciliation said Republicans couldn’t do tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, they changed the rules to pretend that those tax cuts were ‘free.’

Sweet kitties

Prediction: every successful new Senate Dem candidate this cycle will run against Chuck Schumer. It's good primary politics and it's good general election politics. No brainer.

Keep standing up for FOIA and transparency!!

Thank you! You are a true leader

Join me on April 5th

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/Vvi4bctI

I’m the dairy farmer running in the special election to replace Elise Stefanik in New York’s 21st Congressional District.

Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help spread the word?

Many groups are coming together on April 5! Here is one of the ways to sign up to rally on the mall!

Musk or Us Recess Toolkit

Congress is now headed home for recess and we will be there to hold them accountable. We're planning town halls and events across the country to make sure everyone knows about the Trump-Musk coup. We can't count on all our supposed leaders to fight back, so it's time for us to turn up the pressure.

This isn't a fight between progressives and moderates. The House Democratic Caucus was practically unanimous in its opposition to the bill. This is a struggle between those of us who are willing to fight back against authoritarianism and those who aren't. We deserve leaders who share our commitment.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

Thank you Senator!

@alsobrooks.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @repaprildelaney.bsky.social VOTE NO on the CR. There is no other choice. Don’t be bullied
Here’s the reasoning

What an inspiring weekend.

It was an honor to meet with foot soldiers who put their lives on the line and learn of the sacrifices they made for all Americans.

We must keep marching.

Honor them by voting NO on Republican CR.

Honor them by voting NO on Republican CR!!

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

There’s something happening in this country.

I think Trumps plan to take over DC government is to stop all protests in DC. He expects what he is doing will be unpopular and he sees how pop up protests get news coverage etc. No display of opposition in DC.

This can’t be good

Trump says he's firing Kennedy Center board of trustees members and naming himself chairman

Guess he needs something to do dice he gave HHis other job to President Musk
