celebrate every victory, and this isn’t a small one.
A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

i’m not really the praying sort, but i’ll add any good energy i may have to this prayer
May every single human being on this planet be safe.
May every single person be protected from harm.
May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

We would like to add that because they circumvented our servers and used their own (and cowardly did this at midnight), NONE of us knew what was happening.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility.
GOP leadership is now advising lawmakers to avoid holding in person town halls.

I wrote a post about the Klan 100 years ago and how the grip they held on the US seemed impossible to break, but people fought them anyway. And it’s been read by tens of thousands of you (!!!). I guess people want stories of hope right now. dansinker.com/posts/202…

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.

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY
Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance.
AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.
