When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

BREAKING The Trump administration is maintaining a funding freeze at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in defiance of two federal court orders. The ongoing freeze was confirmed by an NIH official and internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information.

The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

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.

FYI the National Council of Nonprofits is collecting stories via this form about how the executive orders are harming nonprofit organizations nationwide. If you just got screwed today, tell them about it here. They're also asking who is comfortable sharing their stories with reporters.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means. "He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Okay y’all, My mom needs a kidney. Nobody in our family is a match. They took her off the list because she keeps getting infections due to her needing a new kidney. I don’t want to lose my mom man. I’m not asking for no money or nothing like that. We just need to find her a donor. #Blacksky

The docility white people DEMAND from people of color in the face of 1. Their violence 2. Their ambivalence to the violence they perpetuate is psychotic. In the almighty words of Zora Neale Hurston:

Quote from Zora Neale Hurston: “if you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.”
