ICYMI: On Tuesday, House Republicans passed their budget plan.
What’s in that plan? Giant cuts to Medicaid, all so they can give big tax breaks to the richest millionaires and billionaires.
Republicans are working for their wealthy donors, not you.

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 📉

Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.
