But first, take account of the great work we’ve done. You can’t deploy power if you don’t believe you have power. We have power.

Evaluating the first 100 days is not about how Trump did. It’s about how effectively we resisted and what we need to do next. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

April 5 is around the corner.
Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
