West Virginia Republicans just legalized sexual assault against children. This is the child predator enabling act. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...

News (USA)
GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent
And that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill.

If you called your senators yesterday and told the “VOTE NO” on the Continuing Resolution *and* Cloture, CALL AGAIN TODAY. @schumer.senate.gov is full of it and gave us lip service. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM VOTING NO AND STOPPING THE GOP AND THIS BUDGET IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ACTION.

Screenshot of three tweets about the Democrats’ plan for the Continuing Resolution vote in the senate. The text reads as follows:

Okay, Schumer's speech was a head fake. This is the Senate D caucus trying to fool their own supporters. Sorry to say that but that's what's happening.

2/ The plan seems to be to vote for cloture and then Thune agrees as his part of the bargain to allow a vote on basically an amendment to the bill. Probably something like Murray's bill. So you give up the 60 vote threshold. Have a vote on each version and the GOP one wins. End of story.

3/ The point of this to temporarily confuse the issue so that Senate Ds can say they vote for their version while allowing the
GOP version to pass. The critical point is that it's handing the GOP the 60 vote threshold for nothing.

How the media is enabling Trump to dismantle our democracy right before our eyes. TOYED with ignoring federal courts? He is ACTIVELY IGNORING court orders. BILLIONS of dollars of obligated USDA funding is still frozen in defiance of multiple court orders. The constitutional crisis done been here.

This? WHO CARES? Trump has never admitted to any kind of responsibility for anything negative. We are in the midst of a real-time autocratic coup. It is happening under our noses. RIGHT NOW. Focusing on what Trump says or how much eggs cost is playing into his hands. So frustrating.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

The problem is he did not surrender. Programs and funds are still frozen. The problem is he is ignoring the courts telling him he couldn’t do what he is still doing. The problem is the press is not widely reporting that this is STILL HAPPENING DESPITE COURT ORDERS.

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

The fact that this one clip is making the rounds over and over instead of HUNDREDS of interviews like this flooding the web is very disturbing. Every single thinking person given a platform should be talking about the dictatorial power grabs that are being made RIGHT NOW under our noses.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Why is a single democrat voting anything but NO on Trump cabinet picks? This whole “we can work across the aisle” narrative needs to stop. The Dems are clueless and hopeless.

That this is not being widely reported on as THE HEADLINE STORY and framed as a major constitutional crisis and blatant attempt by Trump to crown himself as king or dictator makes media outlets a culpable part of this power grab. Shameful.

It’s not a sexy headline, so media outlets gloss over it or don’t cover it at all. This is probably how it will go - slowly chipping away at laws and institutions, coupled with a few blatant power grabs sanctioned by Supreme Court stooges.
