You think it’s an accident Tesla sales are down almost 80% in Germany? They know what his salute meant.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

Mahmoud Khalil must be released, the Trump Administration must answer for his detention, and these attacks on First Amendment rights must end.
🚨BREAKING: With @raskin.house.gov & @scanlon.house.gov, I’m leading 100+ House Democrats in demanding answers on Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest.

Trump’s attempt to deport Khalil is authoritarian & an attack on the First Amendment. We won’t sit quietly as his administration tries to dismantle free speech.

Not only shouldn't Democrats lay down we are desperately looking for them to show the same outrage and dismay that average American's are wrestling with daily. We need them to actually channel the frustration not ignore it and show up in a few months with some stupid "miss me yet" stupidity.
If Democrats don’t protect norms and intuitions, no one else will. You can’t count on Senator Ted Cruz to defend free and fair elections, or Speaker Mike Johnson to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights. And it’s unlikely Senator Susan Collins, despite her…

Democrats Can’t Just Play Dead
The public is frustrated with Trump and Elon’s DOGE-ification of government. It’s time for party leaders to stand up.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"It was a plan to steal power through executive actions knowing that neither the courts or Congress will have the strength to resist them" @elienyc.bsky.social on Trump seemingly following the Project 2025 playbook. "What is Congress doing? Why are they even there? Is it for the parking?"

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

what rightly frustrates people, myself included, are these descriptive posts. we already know what’s going on. what are you going to *do* about it.

call for hearings. call for impeachment. withhold your vote. promise complete obstruction.

anything!
The reckless funding freeze by the Trump administration jeopardizes everything from community health centers to cancer research to child care to critical infrastructure projects. It is an unconstitutional power grab that puts lives and livelihoods at risk.

Four examples of Democratic messaging since yesterday. I know which one I'm supporting. And voting for.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense.

They want things to work.

If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
It is time to look to the future.

The challenges that face America are many and great.

The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold.
Think about it.
