“I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee until this is over!” - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Crowd keeps growing outside Treasury as Members who were DENIED entry speak
just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful
Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.
HAPPENING NOW: members of Congress led by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social are attempting to enter the Treasury Building to demand answers re: Musk’s unconstitutional money grab

the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings
No Kings.
No Raids.
No War.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after
any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office
my reaction to the Blake Lively complaint: if this is the kind of shit that men in Hollywood pull on a woman who's married to a billionaire and best friends with Taylor Swift, imagine the hell they're putting unknown actress through every day
There were more people at the No Kings protest in Boise, Idaho
This is how it’s done folks. If your rep won’t hold a town hall because they know what they’re doing is unpopular, hold one for them and let everyone in your community know what they’re up to.
the headline here is that Republicans are worried about having a special election in a seat that Trump won 60-40
BRB, checking the history books to find out whether “tyrant starts redefining peoples’ citizenship status” usually ends well for the Jews
For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..."
I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is:
"no one's calling my office"
Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not
To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"
