Crypto Coup
Josh Vlasto, formerly a top aide to Schumer, is now a lead strategist for "Fairshake" -- the crypto-funded PAC that took out Sen. Sherrod Brown and Rep. Katie Porter.
Vlasto's wife is Schumer's director of scheduling.
The bread has been buttered, folks.

Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, said he would vote for a Republican-written bill to keep federal funding flowing past a midnight Friday deadline, making a forceful case for why Democrats could not allow a shutdown that many of them have demanded. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

This is how it’s done folks. If your rep won’t hold a town hall because they know what they’re doing is unpopular, hold one for them and let everyone in your community know what they’re up to.
Congressman Jack Bergman’s constituents held a town hall tonight—because their cowardly congressman refused.
He’s happy to cash a taxpayer-funded paycheck but too scared to face the people he’s supposed to represent. Pathetic.
