Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

Velázquez: Donald Trump did not care a bit about safer communities when he released those who were convicted of beating the shit out of police officers. So, don’t come to us and talk about security and safer communities when you do that

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Guys when Chris Rufo and Trump say "We're destroying DEI, we're salting the earth underneath it" and they're repealing regulations that reach back to 1965, they're not talking about corporate diversity trainings.

They are talking about civil rights

Daniel Rodriguez tased DC police officer Michael Fanone in the back of the neck until he lost consciousness and had a heart attack.

He then messaged other rioters: "tased the fuck out of the blue."

He admitted guilt, refused to apologize, and was only sentenced a year ago.

He's now free, and Michael Fanone is trying to get a protective order for himself and his family. Seems like he's the one who was treated very badly.

Hey, Dems. Stop saying Trump cut funding for the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Act,” & start saying “Trump defunded our roads & bridges.”

Focus on the concrete actions that impact everyday Americans. Messaging & language matter.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

@theblockspot And lost at home to the then unranked Wolverines

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

He's only been in office a few hours, but it's already been a gut punch of a first day for the Trump presidency.

The TL;DR is that Trump has been focused on everything *except* making life better for working people.

Get ready. It's time to fight. 🧵

Biden successfully navigated us through a pandemic with better job and economic growth than any other western industrialized nation (and it wasn't very close) with inflation dropping faster than those places too. Not only did he get no credit, the media told us the economy sucked

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Biden is handing Trump the strongest economy in the world (and it's not particularly close) along with an unmatched record of job growth that the media shit on for four years. A level of journalistic malpractice up there with pre-Iraq War WMD and Hillary's email.

Yes, the cashier at Target should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

[Ken Martin @kenmartin73]

Democrats should be contesting races at every level.

✔️ School Boards
✔️ City Councils
✔️ Mayorships
✔️ County Executives
✔️ Statewide Races
✔️ Federal Races

We've got to organize up and down the ballot.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

If voters only ever hear about Democrats from Republicans, we’re not telling our own story.

Pop the bubble. Let’s go on Fox News more.

Why give the GOP a single inch when we can show up and go on offense everywhere?

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

One of the biggest fights of 2025 will be the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1.

Control of the court is at stake.

Susan Crawford is the candidate who will defend our freedoms and democracy. Please chip in to help her defeat her far-right opponent. https://t.co/Rn5B1uPtgj

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Congratulations to everyone in the media for pulling off the longest, most sustained disinformation campaign in modern history. You shit on the economy every fucking day of Biden's time in office and it turned out to have all been bullshit (and you knew it)

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

The shutdown chaos is the responsibility of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

If a billionaire says jump, the GOP says "how high?"—and working people suffer.

As Democrats, let's remind the country that we're the ones fighting for a government that actually works for working people.

[Eric Columbus @EricColumbus]

As punishment for their birther slander against Obama, the GOP is now stuck with a president who actually was born in Africa.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

They’re cutting healthcare to kids because Elon gets his money from Defense contracts so they’ll never touch the military budget.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

We cannot win if voters get their news about Democrats from Republicans.

Our party needs to show up everywhere if we want to beat the GOP’s edge and reshape the information environment.

That means deploying great communicators to deliver effective messages – everywhere.
