After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

By the numbers, this Senate bill: ➡️adds $3.3 trillion to the national debt, according to estimates. ➡️could cut up to 12 million people off of their health care coverage. ➡️provides $114 billion in tax cuts to the top one percent. @garrisonhayes.bsky.social breaks it down.

❌👑We demand due process for ALL people in the U.S., an end to the terror of the ICE Gestapo and modern day Concentration Camps, and respect for immigrant communities. Find or host a protest on 6/14 to remind Trump there are NO KINGS in America, and we the People are pissed! NoKings.org #NoKings

REPOST if you stand with arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka against the Trump Administration!

May Day protests planned all around our country Thursday May 1. Stand up for our democracy. eyehaveameme.wordpress.com/2025/04/30/m...

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day. Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy. BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

This Saturday there will be TWO protests here in Spokane! Here are the details. 🪧🪧🪧

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

On January 1, a new law went into effect that requires boaters to stay 1,000 yards from Southern Resident orcas. Many had questions about the law. We’ve worked with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife & our orca recovery coordinator to provide you an answer. 🧵 #conservation #SRKW #whale

TOMORROW: Another congressional recess is here. Your senators and representative will be back home while Republicans push a deeply unpopular reconciliation bill that cuts Medicaid and SNAP to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

Trump and Musk want to silence us, strip us of services, and rig the system even further for billionaires. Hell. No. We’re taking to the streets on Saturday, and we need you there with us:

Lately, I've adopted the "Hemingway" model for my writing routine. I resist (write, read, cause good trouble) in the morning and drink in the afternoon.🤓

New estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office: permanently extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will cost $4.6 trillion over a decade. This letter comes in response to a query from Democratic ranking members. www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Little King Donald just made the price of my martinis go up 10%. That orange turd is really starting to piss me off.

Grateful for the opportunity last night to talk about this reporting by me and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social If you have information about Venezuelans sent to El Salvador, or at risk of being sent there, our info on Signal is linked here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Over 200,000 letters sent in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election. People are searching for avenues to push back on Trump, Musk and the MAGA agenda. For an off year, state level, supreme court race to garner this much attention is thrilling. Keep the pressure on.

Your primary hit list. See below.

BREAKING: The Continuing Resolution cloture motion has passed 62-38, advancing the CR to a final vote. These are the Democrats who voted to invoke cloture:

Elections matter, even when you lose. Thank you remaining Dems for using the power you have. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I keep hearing people say, this is what people voted for. I beg to differ. "Democrat Sean Faircloth also recently won a special election for Maine House District 24 with 72% of the vote, trouncing Republican challenger Carolyn Fish who walked away with 28%, a 44 point victory." - From M. Touch rpst

Democrats won a key special election yesterday and massively over performed in another, potentially indicating a shift in voter sentiment amid the chaos of the Trump administration.

If the Trump-Musk agenda is so popular, why are Republicans hiding from their constituents? Keep fighting. Keep calling. Keep showing up. Keep causing good trouble.

I want to make sure the government funding bills Congress drafts are written to help the people I represent—NOT Elon Musk’s bottom line. It's tough to write laws that reflect reality when Elon shuts government programs on & off like a two-year-old with a light switch.

Reminded me to post about yet another extremely common #SocialDemocracy W: Top scores in any one or even few of these indices could well be explained as flukes. But when practically _every single measure of societal success ever devised_ gives similarish results...

We re-watched "All the President's Men" last week. A prescient lesson on so many levels. Integrity, ethics, politics, corruption, conspiracy, teamwork. A sad reminder of what the WA Post used to be before it was bought out. And Dustin Hoffman is so entertainingly annoying. Classic.

www.msn.com/en-us/money/... Well, this probably won't be good for King Putts.

Well, it only took a month for Trump to declare it.

When Trump threatens Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Panama, he only refers to one of them as the 51st state - Canada. The other three he speaks of in terms of "controlling". Now think about which of these countries are predominately white and which are predominately BIPOC.
