So, ICE admits they deported people with NO criminal history under the 1798 Aliens Enemies Act, which was illegal declared by Trump.
If this doesn’t scare you, then you aren’t paying attention & are willfully ignorant.

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.

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.
Every Democrat who lost in a district in 2024 should hold a town hall if those Republicans won't.

In 2023, Democratic money helped elect a liberal to the state Supreme Court, swinging it to the left. Now, Elon Musk and other wealthy donors have given Republicans a chance to swing it back.

Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.

What did Musk accomplish last week? He and Doge fired 350 workers at DOE without realizing they worked on nuclear security and then had to rehire them. Embarrassing and terrifying. By his own metric Musk should be fired.

Lost in some of the outrage over this is that Trump's pick is LITERALLY unqualified. The law says a Chairman has to have been a vice chair, a service chief or held a combatant command. Caine hasn't done any of those and I don't think he was even the senior service general at a combatant command.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
