Lol. It was also one of O'Connor's big donors that locked in my decision to vote for gainey. It was some big real estate developer who was basically saying he's pissed that gainey and his staff don't "answer the phone"

Corey O’Connor’s people sent out a mailer accidentally highlighting the mayor’s successful work with housing.

Not all good news today. While Dems improved on key fights, @fetterman.senate.gov & Welch still crossed party lines to confirm Turner as HUD Secretary.
PA & VT folks—call or visit their offices tomorrow. Hold them accountable.

SO FAR tonight, we've seen @jeff-merkley.bsky.social, @schatz.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, Dick Durbin, @murray.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, @markwarner.bsky.social, Mark Kelly, @hirono.senate.gov, @warnock.senate.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, & @kaine.senate.gov
Tonight is a big deal. Honestly, Senators rarely do what they're doing tonight. If your Senator(s) speaks (we'll get you a list tomorrow—but check their Bluesky!), they deserve a big thank you because they're starting to do what you asked them to do! Positive reinforcement is SO important, folks.
![Check to see if your Democratic Senator spoke on the floor tonight. If they did, call 1-833-784-1421 to say thank you and keep fighting. Here's a script: Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m calling to thank [Senator’s Name] for holding the floor and standing strong against Russ Vought’s nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. This kind of resistance is exactly what we need right now! Please let the Senator know that their constituents are watching and we appreciate them taking action.
I also want to encourage [Senator’s Name] to keep fighting—vote NO on all of Trump’s nominees, call for quorum, and block unanimous consent. The stakes are too high to let anything through without a fight. We need them to use every tool at their disposal to slow this administration down.
Thank you! Can you pass my message along to the Senator?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4mk7qnew2i34bycg6wdg4knp/bafkreign3oh7lfji6kultlozb2mwlba7hzijckueasqrimilnzfw45mueu@jpeg)

Thank you Senate Democrats - this is the kind of energy and fire your constituents are looking for.
35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
