Someone who reads reputable news sources like the Washington Post and New York Times, who listens to historians like Timothy Snyder and Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and uses her right to vote as often as she can. Someone who believes in democracy and rule of law.

If Chuck Schumer cannot lead, he should be removed from leadership. We Democrats wants to fight. And he just caved.
Chuck Schumer is totally out of step with the vast majority of Senate Democrats. If he can’t lead, he should step aside for someone who will.

Congrats Chuck Schumer you have thoroughly misplayed the funding fight. You’ve done everything possible to take ownership of it, despite democrats having no levers in govt.

We need someone willing to fight. Right here and now. Not someone who will cave to Republicans.

Again and again, these GOP senators are choosing to remain silent or outright enable the shredding of our Constitution and dismantling of our government because they care more about the billionaires who will benefit than they do about us.
And all of these senators are facing re-election next year.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.
Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

Shocking. Last night Schumer cut a deal with Senate GOP to expedite votes on Trump nominees.
Yesterday, Jeffries promised a "day of action" to focus attention on the funding freeze. You didn't hear about it bc they didn't organize it.
If you want Dems to unify & fight, come help us push them.

That's right - we should cut government waste.
But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.
I have better ideas.

Call it what it is. Trump is trying to seize control of government in order to run it as a corrupt autocracy.
The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

The level of corruption and naked profiteering is staggering. And it is only the beginning. The proud boys march in the Capitol. The sentences of Jan 6 rioters commuted, including those who planned it and tasered an officer, leading to his death. Withdrawing from WHO. It's a lot to take.

Elon Musk did the Hitler salute twice during his speech today. But it isn’t clear what this gesture might have meant.
