This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.

The move would require Senate Majority Leader John Thune to use precious floor time to advance the president’s nominees through the confirmation process.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Trump's reaction to covid killed 188,000 Americans--assuming the same death rates as other G7 countries. As if we didn't know.

Why did this not get full play during the campaign? Were the Dems afraid of offending someone? Did they think the next killing spree wouldn't hurt as much?

What if Trump had an agreement with Netanyahu to kill Palestinian civilians, drive a wedge between Democrats, cause millions to stay away from the polls, and sweep Trump to victory. The beauty of it is, there would be no one to investigate. And T and Bibi could toast in the White House.

Every time Trump describes an enemy, he is describing himself. He says "drain the swamp" because he is the swamp. He says "enemies within" because he is the enemy. "Too old" because he is too old. When he makes a charge, turn it around. He only talks about himself.

Yes! Dems seem to be making a welcome step: forming a shadow government that offers an alternative to everything T does. Ok, so a majority of Americans prefers anarchy? Make us own that. Take every opportunity to show what good government looks like. Keep us sane.
