Neguse: Trump can threaten all he wants, but House Democrats won’t be bullied. Republicans may have forgotten Congress is co-equal; we haven’t.
We don’t work for Donald Trump.
We work for the American people🔥

We drove to the local(ish) office of our congressman, Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC), with some #Epstein -related materials.
We’ll see if we get any response.

My husband and I outside our congressman’s local(ish) office this morning to ask for a “no” on the awful budget bill.
He’s deep red, but his staffer said there is no definite word yet on how he’ll vote.
So, even if your rep is ruby red, CALL TODAY. (Tips in my pinned post.)

I can’t decide if he sounds like a doddering old man who thinks he has to sign every text, or a 5-year-old who thinks a signature makes a text sound official.
Maybe both.

People need to understand what this budget the Republicans have proposed for the long term would mean in their everyday lives.
So what are they using this Medicaid cut money for? They're using this to give tax cuts to a bunch of billionaires.

We had an AMAZING turnout for the #HandsOff protest in Charlotte today! It seemed like way more people than expected. A huge thank-you to our local police for coming out in force and keeping people safe.

ALERT: Republicans are trying to RUSH through the SAVE Act, sending it back to committee for mysterious amendments. 🤔
THEN bringing it up to the floor for a vote later this week. #HandsOffHerVote
Call your legislators! Tell them to vote NO!

My cat is contemplating what my sign should say for my next protest march.
He thought it should say “tuna for all” but I had to overrule him
(Please join a protest if you can!)

Lots of good citizens came to our local Tesla dealership today to protest Musk and Trump. The response from passing motorists was overwhelmingly positive!

This! Don’t be fooled. Republican politicians are going to cut Medicare / Medicaid benefits.
The CBO has said there is no way to meet the budget cuts they passed in February without doing so.
RT, call your rep, and let your voice be heard before it is too late.

I didn’t do my daily legislators call today, because I went to a protest at the local Tesla dealership instead. (Thank you to the Reddit user who took this photo.)
There are LOTS of protests happening. If you are able to go to one (or more), please do! It’s fun, and it DOES matter!
