We're holding the Senate floor all night to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought.

America saw how bad OMB’s illegal, incompetent funding freeze was.

We want Americans to hear EVERY HOUR how bad the dangers are that he poses to their daily lives as OMB head.

Trayvon Martin dreamed of flying airplanes.

But he was killed in a racist murder in 2012. His death sparked a national conversation about racial profiling &, following the acquittal of his killer, the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Happy birthday, Trayvon. #TheMarchContinues

Democrats should be 100% opposed to anything that the Trump regime is doing. Anything less looks like capitulation and a lack of willingness to fight the destruction of American democracy that is underway.

It's fine that people are misreading this and dunking on it, if anyone who follows is interested I was not saying this is a rationale to not fight or advocating doing nothing. As I said farther down, we are fighting and I think we will get better at it; this is an explanation of a dynamic.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
