Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

All of the Democrats should have disrupted the proceedings and made the Sargent at arms through all of them out. That would have been “good trouble”! 😁👍

So disappointed in @housedemocrats.bsky.social last night. They should have been roaring to the point that every single one was thrown out by Mike Johnson. Make them sit there for hours while you scream at the top of your lungs for democracy.

Fantastic article by Sen. Angus King (I). Perfect takedown of DOGE and the lack of oversight on this admin. tinyurl.com/2n9x7zwh

I find a small victory in knowing that Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zucks and the other oligarchs will never the know the feeling of shared community between a small band at a local brewery. They can have the caviar, I'd rather have a day on the slopes and be buzzed with some acoustic 🎵 in the background.

Not only do we need to do this, but we need to have central leadership NOW. Get @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on nightly fire-side chats like FDR, delivering direction to the American people.
"I spent past year and a half with The Lincoln Project... There, I learned some of the hard-line messaging tactics R's have used for decades to defeat Dems. R's know how to define opponents early, sharply, and relentlessly—exactly what Dems need to do."

The case for Democrats to start holding televised, primetime opposition hearings featuring civil servants fired by Trump & Musk, Americans hurt by baseless cuts, and scholars on authoritarian regimes.

Today, Linda McMahon:

❌ Pledged to dismantle the U.S. Dept. of Education, and

❌ Promised to support vouchers, stripping resources from 90% of U.S. students.  

Our students deserve an education secretary who will fight for them, not gut public schools to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

If ICE is at your door, you have rights.

✅ Do not open the door.
✅ Ask to see a warrant signed by a judge. If they have one, ask them to slide it under the door or hold it to the window. If they do not have a judicial warrant, they cannot enter your home.
✅ You have the right to remain silent.

Public schools need a leader who supports them—not one who wants to defund them. Linda McMahon is unqualified & pushing a voucher scheme that will harm students. 📢 Tell Senators King & Collins: VOTE NO! Also, join the 50501 No Kings Protest on 2/17! #DefendPublicSchools #50501

Imagine the Dems get it together and choose their Pres nominee NOW. Then they spend the next 4 years stating what their policies & cabinet picks may be. Create a unified counter argument to everything the GOP is taking from us. @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social #resist

It's the kid in this cartoon that hurts the most. Oblivious, but at the same time there is a hint of knowing there is something wrong about this. As if he expected better of his dad.

95% of students with disabilities learn in public schools, and the Department of Education ensures they get the support they need and deserve.
