He has pushed me to the edge, made me weep with rage, left my mother wondering if she’d have a ride, a meal, a chance.
He buried me in sorrow so deep I couldn’t rise.
It’s over. I burn with anger, I stand up, I fight with it all!
We will not be silenced. We will not break. #Resist #Persist #Exist

this is precisely the correct energy. If Republicans are going to hide from their constituents while voting to slash medicaid and give billionaires tax cuts, Democrats need to take the fight directly to them and their constituents.
I officially challenge all of Wisconsin’s Congressional Republicans to defend their vote to slash Medicaid and cut taxes for the ultra-rich. Let’s do it in a town hall format for maximum transparency!

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

OPM has just announced that all employees that have been employed with the federal government less than one year (on probation) will be terminated. Does this solve ALL of our problems? Did Elon just fire himself, Trump and all of his nominees?
