This is how we fight Trump and Musk. 3.5% of Americans is 11,000,000 people. On May 11th at 11:00 we become the calvary. #11,000,000onthe11th bbc.com/future/article…

@JakeSherman @IAmBut1Voice Maybe Thune should just ignore Trump and do his damn job.

@JakeSherman @IAmBut1Voice All day, every day.

@JakeSherman Surprise! @realDonaldTrump is to blame for the airport mess & the @SenateGOP meekly go along. What a fucked up party are the republicans! Vote out every one of these bastards!

@JakeSherman @billprady Thune & Republicans need to take back their power as Senators - begin to work for Americans & not Trump! For the good of the country begin to govern again. Tell Trump & his billionaire crooks the age of extortion is coming to an end!

This is the clearest sign yet that Democrats are winning the ICE funding standoff -- and that internal @GOP polling shows voters are blaming Republicans for the partial government closure. Senate Dems should take this as a huge validation of their strategy.

The law of armed conflict prohibits direct attacks on civilian objects, including electrical infrastructure, unless and only so far as it qualifies as a concrete military objective. #holdfast

@stu_m70 the pure thievery is incredible. there is going to be so much to unwind.

@jimstewartson They will have made 100's of millions off these trades. Quite literally. x.com/adamscochran/s…

He doesn’t even lie well anymore.

On Sunday, John Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans would support funding all of DHS except ICE. ICE funding could be handled later in a reconciliation bill. TSA agents would get paid and the security-line madness at airports would end. Trump said NO. He owns this chaos.

Houston Public Schools being ran by "Outside Management" (3rd-party Vendors)? With a compensation package of OVER $600K, can Supt MIKE MILES (appointed by Mike Morath & @GregAbbott_TX) not handle the job of running the schools he's superintendent of? #TaxDollars #HISD

@jphicks Here’s my take on it from the Progress Texas podcast. If we ever want to have meaningful property tax relief in Texas, we have to expand the tax base to include tax revenue from sources that Republicans have historically refused to tax - like Elon Musk, for example.

@SaraForTexLege Well, then you and I need to have a conversation about property taxes in the worst way.

I was super confident in November of 2024. I thought for sure we were going to win up and down the ballot. I was clearly wrong. My response was NOT to double down, my response was to force myself out of my bubble and into my community to hear what people were *actually* thinking and voting for. I am now thoroughly immersed in a bipartisan community where we have agreed that the elections in Texas will swing on 4 issues: Public education Property taxes Healthcare access and affordability Cost of living That’s it. That’s what voters in Texas are asking for, and what they will vote for. Voters in 2024 didn’t care about Project 2025 because Covid inflation had whacked them and we simply did not do a good enough job communicating the steps we had taken to recover. Democrats ran on saving DEMOCRACY when the general population was just out here trying to save MONEY. So for those exact same reasons, you sound about as informed now as I was in October of 2024. People who are trying to feed their families and fill their gas tanks don’t care about fringe statements or a candidate’s dietary preferences. Hard days are ahead for Republicans. Clock it.

BREAKING: The latest whistleblower report re: DOGE’s alleged compromise of SSA’s databases has dire implications for the Trump-backed so-called “Save America Act,” which requires that all 50 states submit their voter registration lists to the DHS’s “Save” voter purge system that depends on SSA’s data. I’ve updated my summary of the Act to reflect this underreported connection. 1/ #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes

Does jiu jitsu involve punching yourself in the face?

Elon Musk gets property tax abatements in Texas and we don’t. Oh, and his data centers are sucking our state dry. Thanks, Abbott.

Trump has "TDS" "Talarico Derangement Syndrome"!🤪
