Imagine how much better America and the world would be if Trump had been held accountable in 2021.

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

I disagree that Musk is "too big too fail". You want to know who else that was said about? Bill Cosby, otherwise known as "America's Dad" And that fall from grace was huge.

A senator receives $174,000 per year. Their expense account ranges between $3.3M to $6.3M per year; this covers staff, rent, travel, and communications. Each state has two senators. Merging ND and SD would save $6,948,000 per year. That's about $42M per 6 year term.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

I’d rather watch seven 1 minute videos on here than go to instagram for anything. I will miss your content, but my integrity is too strong to continue supporting facism and propaganda. Sorry. 😞

Indivisible includes suggested talking points to use when speaking with your senators—whether Democratic or Republican docs.google.com/document/d/1...

TALKING POINTS FOR SENATE DEMOCRATS
Recognize the Crisis
Trump and Musk are orchestrating a hostile takeover of the federal government.
Vought is not just a nominee—he is a direct threat to democracy.
Use Every Procedural Tool to Block This
No is not enough. Yes, we expect every Senate Democrat to vote NO on Russell Vought’s confirmation, but no is not enough. We need Democrats to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump’s extremist agenda.
Deny a quorum. Walk out if necessary to stop Senate business.
Block unanimous consent. Force full roll-call votes on everything.
Max out debate time. Speak for the full 30 hours of debate.
Gum up the works. Object to every procedural motion, force procedural votes, demand roll calls, and delay every possible action. This is not business as usual. We need Democrats to fight with everything they have.
Blanket opposition. Oppose vote NO on every Trump nominee while the coup continues.
Expose Republican Complicity
Force Republicans to defend their vote. Make them answer to the American people.
Call out the risks to Social Security, Medicare, and government programs that millions of people depend on.

TALKING POINTS FOR SENATE REPUBLICANS

You Are Enabling an Unconstitutional Authoritarian Takeover
Supporting Vought = supporting Trump’s plan to dismantle the federal government.
You are allowing a billionaire to dictate public policy.
Your Complicity Will Cost You
Blocking federal funding is deeply unpopular.
If you confirm Vought, you will be held accountable, and your constituents are paying attention.
A No Vote is the Only Way to Avoid Political Fallout
There is no way to spin this. A vote for Vought means selling out your constituents.
Vote NO on Vought.

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 2y ago

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Republican senators aren’t upset that a cabinet nominee is a predator—they’re upset that people found out.
