In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.
Breaking — 10 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance their funding bill, including:
Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin

Kirsten Gillibrand
Maggie Hassan

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries
Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

It would be absolutely inexcusable for any Senate Democrat to vote to advance the extreme MAGA spending bill.

Democrats cannot cave and give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government.

NEWS: We polled our locals yesterday before Schumer's surrender asking what they would do to hold accountable Senate Dems who cave on the GOP bill.

67% said they'd show up at town halls or public events to express their anger.

78% said they'd support primary challenges.

We'll see where this goes.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

The point of repeating antisemitic tropes while claiming to fight antisemitism is to evacuate any meaning from the term "antisemitism"

As he faces Senate confirmation, remember that Dr. Oz:

-Pushed Medicare privatization plans on his show
-Owns ~$600k in stock in private insurers
-Has ties to pyramid scheme companies that promote fake medical cures

His main qualification to oversee CMS is loyalty to Trump.

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?

Start thinking (if you haven't already) about how you can help to get people in your own community medical care that they may need.

What community medical clinics are operating where you live? Donate and support.

Do you know doctors/NPs who would volunteer to provide free care? Make connections.

Every Republican senator shares responsibility for what’s happening. They are complicit in, and share responsibility for, whatever mess Trump’s dangerous nominees cause.

But a few GOP senators from purple(ish) states face reelection next year — and we’re going to shine a light on their complicity.
What to do about Republican complicity
Republican senators have taken some bad votes over the past week. Really, really bad.

Trump's promise to dismantle the Education Department will likely be more costly for red states than blue.

Trump states, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for Vice President Harris. www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.
