"Why isn’t he doing everything possible to fight back against this constitutional crisis that we’re facing? Your interview was the first time I’ve actually gotten a clear answer to that: And it’s because he doesn’t believe it’s yet a constitutional crisis." - @ezralevin.bsky.social on Sen. Schumer

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

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!

@schumer.senate.gov I'm trying to reach you but your line is BUSY! NO ON CLOTURE! #nocloture #chuckschumer

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.

When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.

Not without a fight.

Research shows that areas near casinos face higher rates of gambling addiction, especially among young people. Sands knows their planned casino will be near 60,000 students in nearby schools, yet they press on.

Why are we being kept in the dark about the Sands casino project? Watch as a concerned resident calls out the county legislature for a complete lack of transparency—no mailers, no town halls, no economic study. #NassauCounty #NoCasino #TransparencyNow #NassauCountyNY

I understand that the Trump transition is not submitting nominees for FBI background checks, and that in many cases there appears to be no formal vetting at all.

But are they also not just... uh... googling?

ACTION ALERT 🚨There are 45 judicial vacancies. There are 43 days until the new Congress takes office. Let’s get these seats filled!
