🚨 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.

You probably haven’t heard a lot about the OMB, but it has immense power over federal agencies — and Trump is trying to put the architect of Project 2025 in charge.
(above an image of the White House) WHAT IS THE OMB? (OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET) The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for putting together the president's budget and ensuring the federal government executes the White House's agenda. (next to an image of Congress) WHAT DOES THE OMB DIRECTOR DO? The OMB director has immense power over federal agencies. In addition to serving as the president's watchdog for the entire Executive Branch and managing the implementation of federal regulations and executive orders, the OMB director also coordinates with Congress on the White House's budget priorities. (next to an image of Russell Vought) WHO IS TRUMP'S NOMINEE FOR OMB DIRECTOR? Russell Vought-Trump's OMB director for the last two years of his first term. After Trump's loss in 2020, Vought became the architect of Project 2025 - MAGA extremists' plan to transform the federal government into a tool of white Christian nationalism and political revenge. Vought supports nationwide abortion abolition and massive cuts to life-saving programs like Social Security and Medicare. He's also vowed to push unconstitutional spending schemes to get Trump's agenda (above an image of an arm holding up a megaphone) WHAT CAN I DO? Vought still needs to be confirmed by at least 50 senators before he can become OMB director. The final vote for Vought's nomination is expected this week. Contact your senators and tell them to vote NO on Trump's dangerous pick for OMB director. INDIVISIBLE.ORG/OMB

There are a lot of ugly things happening in the world today.

Calling my senators/reps feels like an exercise in futility. It leaves me feeling drained.

Here’s a pretty orchid that has been blooming for a few weeks now. Its subtle fragrance lifted my spirits while watering this morning

Morning! In the name of democracy, here's a list of things to do today:

1. Call your senators & reps w/ real stories about how the admin's actions impact you & people you care about

2. Do something that makes you smile

Take action.
Find joy.

Protect democracy.
