Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

This is the stupidity that @govmaurahealey.bsky.social is concerned about when Trump and Musk are destroying the country?
Governor Maura Healey signed an executive order to establish a poet laureate of Massachusetts. Prior to this announcement, Massachusetts was one of just three states, along with New Jersey and Pennsylvania, without one. trib.al/y0SD8BO

I will call Schumer's office this afternoon (one of my senators), and ask if could retire & be replaced with a senator who actually does something to save US, rather than hope that there is an election in 2026 & that people know what Trump has done to US & trust these losers to do anything about it.
Chuck Schumer’s advice for Democrats staring at a long two or more years out of power: Just wait.
“Trump will screw up,” he tells Semafor in an interview.

lol… Art of the Deal? State Tv never fails to cover up his incompetence. Had he wanted more troops he should simply met with the MX president. Art of the Deal my ass! @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social
Trump backs down on his tariff threats against Mexico and Fox News calls it "the art of the deal"

No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

I love my senator.
Republicans plan to pay for their billionaire tax cuts by slashing health care for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities.
It’s robbing working families so the richest Americans can get even richer.
I’m in the Senate to fight back.

Such sad news to hear that Antilly (Anti), the beautiful GSD who played Brandy in #Afterlife, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
Brandy and Toni (@MrRickyGervais.bsky.social) were the PERFECT match in Afterlife.
RIP beautiful girl ❤️.

I’m sure the bishop understood the fall-out in telling felon Trump to be compassionate. She put him on the spot for the world to see. Had he taken the high road many would have applauded him. Instead, he chose the road of the evil, petty, & insecure dictator.
Trump is now viciously attacking the bishop who asked him to have mercy on immigrants and LGBTQ people, suggesting she is not a real bishop and demanding she apologize.

Fully 75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up to work the other day in Bakersfield, California because of fears of ICE raids. America’s agricultural communities will be the hardest hit from Trump’s harsh immigration policies. Food prices are going to skyrocket.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I hate to ask this from our teachers and nurses, because they already go above and beyond for those they serve.
But if ICE shows up at your work place, you’re gonna need to stand strong and say no. You must be sand in the gears of fascism. Small acts of resistance add up.
