Outsiders will think this is what Alabama wants. Don't fall for that. A system that doesn't provide multiple choices is not a democracy. www.al.com/news/2025/05...
Alabama is a Russian democracy where Tommy Tuberville runs unopposed
A system that doesn't give voters more than one choice is not a democracy.

We all need to speak out against the harms this administration is causing—and do everything we can to slow them down. 👏👏
Cory Booker's anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor has lasted 17 hours and counting
The New Jersey Democrat has been criticizing the Trump administration's policies on immigration, education, the economy and more since 7 p.m. Monday. Here's what to know about his marathon speech.

"We need leaders who communicate honestly, follow the science, and act in the public interest. Make no mistake: RFK Jr. is rushing us in the opposite direction. His continued effort to silence scientists and scientific processes is causing harm."
One Month of RFK Jr.: Empty “MAHA” Promises Hide Attacks on Public Health
It’s beyond insulting that RFK Jr. calls his agenda “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA)—an ironic slogan that’s a distraction from the actions that RFK Jr. and the rest of the administration are taking that endanger people’s health.

Not to ruin everyone’s day, but don’t forget in the midst of this ‘CR’ chaos that they’re also trying to install a snake oil salesman (Dr. Oz) as head of Medicare and Medicaid.

They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge.

People with GOP reps and senators: *you more than anyone else* are needed to make calls (not emails) to your Congressional delegation about this. They need to be afraid they will lose if they do it. And they clearly are worried. So keep worrying them. Make them worry!
This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Also if *you personally* don't want to do that, that's fine. But somebody is going to have to organize across differences here.
People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity
