Trying to figure it all out
Republicans are refusing to extend health care funding — putting 22M at risk of higher premiums, millions more at risk of losing coverage, & hundreds of rural hospitals at risk of closure.

Tell Congress: Pass a funding deal NOW - peoplefor.org/StopTheCuts
Stop the Shutdown. Protect Health Care.
Congress must act immediately to pass a funding deal that keeps the government open and safeguards the health care millions of families depend on. Add your name now to demand action.

The Protecting Our Democracy Act has been reintroduced. It draws real lines around presidential power — ending corrupt pardons, protecting whistleblowers, & strengthening the oversight powers Congress needs to enforce accountability.

He is AGAIN endangering US citizens AND our emergency resources. Our CA National Guard has been diverted from duties preparing for wildfire season, just for fascist whims. He similarly endangered Capitol Police, Congress, American during Jan6 insurrection. He is not a leader, he is a chaos-maker.
Newsom: This is a national order. We’re talking about you and your state, your own backyard, all depending on the whim of a president who’s unhinged. Depending on how he’s feeling on a particular day, or who’s offended him because he didn’t like what they said on a Fox News clip.

To recap:
•DOJ orders ICE to arrest people without a judicial warrant
•People peacefully protest this illegal act
•LAPD confirms people protested peacefully
•Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard

Fascists escalate violence—don’t fall for it. Stand united against Trump's tyranny.

LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.

The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.

This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.

Donald Trump tried to fire hundreds of airport safety workers. Newark Airport is a mess. The FAA just had to cut tons of flights.

And what has Transportation Secretary Duffy been up to?

Trading stocks.

Congress needs to BAN stock trading by public officials.

Please ask your Senators to remove Schumer in a vote of No Confidence. He and 10 other Senators have betrayed We the People.
Thanks to just 10 Senate Democrats, we’ve lost any leverage we had to stop the Trump-Musk coup.

If your senator caved today and voted to give Trump more power, tell them how angry you are: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

If your senator held the line, say thank you: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Amen! Time for Schumer to step aside, he has abdicated his duty to We the People. He is not ditto lead us through these dark times, rough waters, and all-out fight for our democracy.
When the Senate Minority Leader sells you out, the only option is to take back the party & country with grassroots activists in blue and red disricts to stand up for the Constitution and our democracy.

Thank you Senator Schiff for your NO votes! We hope the minority leader Schumer and others will follow your lead, on behalf of We the American People!
It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.

To cast an emphatic “no.”

Trump has shown who he is. Democrats in Congress should refuse to enable him in any way.

Shut it down. Show Americans you care enough to fight for something better.

Please call your two Senators and plead that they see reason and vote NO on the barbaric and power-usurping budget (that Republicans wrote by themselves). Shumer is a has-been, but our other Senators can speak for their consistents, We the American people!
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!
March 14, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Shumer must resign or be ousted. He is unfit to lead through this moment of crisis. Please call to demand his NO Vote on the right-wing-written, devsstating budget.
If you're calling Senators at the numbers listed here but getting through—KEEP CALLING.

They're currently "experiencing high call volume" which means that our collective actions are working.

Keep dialing. Keep sharing. Keep calling. Don't relent.

Time to re-read and practice Lakoff's excellent advice. Never gets old, and now more urgent than ever.
It's @george-lakoff.com's Truth Sandwich.

An essential skill for anyone who does any communications. Yet, over and over, people start by privileging their opposition's message or just outright lies.

Only way to deal with guys like Elon and Trump.
