While this is a HUGE WIN, there's more work to do. It's time to DOUBLE DOWN in pressuring Congress. They need to revoke the OMB Proposal. Members of Congress who fail to stop the Proposal will be out of a job January 3rd, 2027, we will make sure of it. 🧵
HASAN: “Everyone is already doing ‘CaN @abdulelsayed.bsky.social uNitE the Dems’? That Q is really: can he get the people/consultants who work only for pro-🇮🇱 candidates to shut the fuck up about him being a ‘TeRrOriSt’ long enough to consolidate the base + beat Mike Rogers?”
We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

This man remains at the top of my heroes list. He's fearless.
Durbin: "Mr Blanche has aided and abetted the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States ... Blanche's willingness to casually lie under oath about he statement he made in a room full of witnesses shows the lengths he will go to to avoid offending President Trump."
I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

Republican Senator Makes Startling Admission Ahead Of Todd Blanche Confirmation Vote

Call your senators! Insist they vote no on Blanche. Pile on the pressure! As for the Anti-weaponization fund-you know they’re lying. It’s not dead despite Blanche formally rescinding because Trump is appealing it in court. This guy is not fit or for “we the people”. #BlockBlanche #ProudBlue #Pinks

Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts
A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.
Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
