How does American politics really work?

@beyer.house.gov my request is simple. The president continues his campaign to restrict voting rights. Please vote NO on the SAVE America Act. There is nothing in the bill that will save America. It’s designed to save the Republicans, and hence the president, in the midterms.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Some of the first pictures from #NoTyrants #Oslo. In solidarity with Americans protesting around the world, we came together to show we love America and Trump and his trolls will not silence us! ✊ @demsabroad.bsky.social

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Speaker Johnson doesn't mind keeping the House in session to cut healthcare for 17 million Americans, but he draws the line at exposing child predators.

The official numbers just dropped on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Trump officially made the biggest cuts to health care in US history. Trump made the biggest cuts to food stamps in US history. Trump added $4.1T to the debt to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich and corporations.

Today, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it will shut down its Office of Research and Development and eliminate thousands of agency jobs. According to the agency, this office has long served as the scientific backbone of its efforts to protect both public health and the environment.

DAN Chair @ericagibson.bsky.social and Media Coordinator @karinblakegrana.bsky.social were lucky enough to sit down with past Chair Christina Skovsgaard to hear about meeting John Lewis in Oslo. #MakeGoodTrouble #JohnLewis #GoodTroubleLivesOn #NobelPeacePrize #MLKJr @demsabroad.bsky.social

Not every R who voted for the cruelest bill in modern times will be on the ballot in 2026 but you can vote against everyone who is. Every damn one.

We’re about to see a bunch of house republicans publicly decry the billionaire bailout bill, only to eventually vote yes on it. Light up the switchboard!

Shame, shame Lisa Murkowski. You got your little goodies for Alaska and gave the middle finger to the rest of the country.

Senate Republicans made Trump’s big, ugly bill even uglier. It slashes health care and food assistance for people who need it most, while adding $3.3 TRILLION to the national debt. This is a handout for the ultra-wealthy and a betrayal to working families. I'm heading back to DC to vote NO.

Americans abroad: call your senators NOW so they wake up to full mailboxes demanding they vote NO on the Big Bad Bill! The pressure is working! Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121 #JustSayNo @demsabroad.bsky.social

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.

So much for Trump wanting Norwegians to visit the US. 🙄 CBP denied Norwegian tourist, Mats Mikkelsen entry to the U.S. after finding a meme of bald JD Vance on his phone. “If you find it hard to laugh at yourself, I would be happy to do it for you.” -Groucho Marx

This is terrifying 😱 @maddow.msnbc.com @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @meidastouch.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social

It didn’t take long…Trump has done every last thing the editorial board at @nytimes.com warned us about before the 2024 election. Don’t look away. Don’t be complacent. Call your representatives and senators today. Let them know you expect them to stand up to Trump’s regime. +1(202)224-3121

Lots going on in the world right now but please don’t forget they’re going to try and jam one of the largest transfers of wealth from working families to the richest corporations through the Senate this week.

JD Vance, you know my name. If you want to talk about political theater, let’s start with the thousands of troops that your administration is using as props in Los Angeles.

"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history..." www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

Brutal.

Ending tonight with another predictable story around folks who spend their time terrorizing queer children. Is *anyone* surprised by this? We could build a predictive model with just one line of code. If you have a favorite zealot-to-predator story post it below.

Scenes from the @demsabroadnorway.bsky.social No Dictators Day picnic & protest in Frogner Park, Oslo, Norway. Well over 120 people showed up. It was a fantastic community building event with speeches, mingling, eating & singing. We had blue skies and sunshine — unlike in DC today ⛈️. #nokings

Our #NoDictators #NoTyrants @demsabroadnorway.bsky.social protest picnic in Oslo had 120-150 people today! Lots of folks shared stories of how the current administration is negatively affecting their lives. We stand with Americans back home in their #NoKings protests. @demsabroad.bsky.social

Meet up THIS Saturday, June 14th, at the Lincoln Monument in Frogner Park from 12-14 for our No Dictators Day: Picnic & Protest from 12-14. ALL are welcome to join us. See you Saturday! facebook.com/events/s/no-... #NoDictatorsDay #NoDictators #NoFascists #NoTyrants #democratsabroad

#DemocratsAbroadNorway held a rally outside the Norwegian Parliament this afternoon in Oslo. DAN Secretary Erica Gibson spoke about how her grandfather fought fascists in WWII & never thought she'd also have to. #protest #resist #fromhopetoaction #handsoff #handsoffoslo #resistance #resist

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

“Viruses don’t stop when the government does. Neither do bacteria, natural disasters, gun violence, rising rates of depression, suicide, or health emergencies. Public health isn’t something you can pause and expect to pick back up later. It’s built on decades of momentum and lessons learned.”

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

“In sum, forget the chest thumping, the bald-faced lies, & the ludicrous self-congratulations you heard tonight. No president has done more to harm our economy & standing in the world. Donald Trump is making China & Russia great again. The US, on his watch, is the loser.” …and it’s only been weeks

What will it take for the MAGAs to realize that they have been duped?

Here’s a deal for Trump: he gives us back our country and resigns — and in return we’ll stop protesting!

I don’t know why I expected better from Rubio, but I did. What a coward!!

Vance is a Despicable Evil Idiot.

Seen in Oslo

Exactly

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

There is no way to sugarcoat it. #clustermusk

Rally at Roybal Campus - Wednesday, March 12 at 5pm. Any and all are welcome to attend. Hope you can join us!

We are in trouble.
