Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

I woke up praying this morning.
The words pulled me from my sleep and into my ancestors warm embrace. I feel renewed and baptized at the same time. I feel rejuvenated from the soul up. I feel shifted and changed.

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)

I know that some of these folks are the same folks who took bad votes earlier this week. That makes it even more important for you to call. You want them to hear from you when you're holding them accountable AND when they do a good thing. It makes it more likely they do the right thing next time.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

At what point do people say enough and mass outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building demanding for Musk to be removed? He's an unelected billionaire who has seized control of the government.

People need to fundamentally understand - Democrats don't lead: they aren't going to call for a protest, general strike or for Trump to be held accountable.
They're more terrified of their own base than they are of Trump. Want them to move? People have to mobilize + make a massive push in society.
