I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Millions of Americans — including many who have been purged from their positions of responsibility — are standing up to Trump and Musk’s tyranny. Congressional switchboards are ringing off the hook.

We are beginning to flood Trump and Musk’s zone. Let’s flood it out.

This is 💯 spot on. Congress, you created this monster! The American people will never forget your derelict actions when it mattered the most! If you don't heed the voices of the people, the people will remove you from your cushy seats!

The word "doge" was a meme in the early 2010s featuring a dog. The meme came BEFORE the cryptocurrency. "First Buddy" is an obnoxious, spoiled child, so of course he named his cryptocurrency after a meme. And now we're being held hostage by an illegally created govt department named after a MEME.

My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month
The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Here is the NON-response letter I received from my "representative" in Montana. Is it any wonder so many of us are discouraged? Not only is it poorly written; my name is not correct, and he addresses not ONE single concern I put forth. I didn't expect him to, honestly, but still. I'm disheartened.

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts, much of the deleted DOJ database can be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. And thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot live on ProPublica’s website and other places. 👇

Is it any wonder we are feeling like we have no voice? I received a response to my concerns from Zinke, one of my "representatives" in Montana, that is nothing but a poorly drafted form letter. I am more than irate. It's addressed to "Ms. E." My name starts with B. I will share a bit of it...

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Are we ethically and morally obligated to pay our taxes this year to a government that is blatantly perpetrating illegal and immoral acts before our very eyes every single day? Asking for a friend.

Seriously, SHUT DOWN THE SENATE. Arrest/remove Musk and his baby bros for illegal acts. Do not confirm a single nominee until then.
