This is rare. We legitimately don't know if Senate Dems will stop the GOP bill or not. Normally we know ahead of time if they'll cave or fight. This is in flux. Pressure matters now. If you have a Dem senator, get all your friends in state to call today/tomorrow: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint.
No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
![Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwmmdl5nok26w3zhmg2d3fvt/bafkreigihtf5o2suhsnecpwijziyhsmxflvzzogbjre2okvstqagg6bw6y@jpeg)

Jeffries is frustrating, but if you want House Dems to treat this constitutional crisis like a constitutional crisis, you've got to start with your own Dem Rep (if you have one).
We'll have a resource on this soon.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.
If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.
Stay tuned - more to come.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.
It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.
In that sense, the system is working very well.
But it is not working for the average American.
We need Medicare for All.
