“The last several days we’ve witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They have set their sights on a full purge of anyone in government that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders.” - Sen. Wyden

This is more like it! We’re in a constitutional crisis and it’s good to see more Democrats deciding to fight. If you live in Delaware, let Sen. Blunt Rochester know that you’ve got her back.

This week, we’re asking you to plan a visit to your closest US Senate office to push senators to stand up against Trump’s lawless overreach. The ask will be slightly different if your senator is a Democrat or Republican. We put together a toolkit with everything you need: http://indivisi.org/choosetofight

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with MoveOn to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area. https://www.mobilize.us/moveon/event/752712/?utm_source=indivisible

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Senator Schatz, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/democratic-senator-says-he-will-block-trump-nominees-until-usaid-is-back-94f8699e

Trump is trying to shut down critical functions of the federal government while he hands unchecked power and access over to an unelected billionaire.

But we choose to fight this quiet coup. Join us and take action to stop the Trump-Musk funding grab: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/c/funding-crisis-response/event/create/?utm_source=indivisible

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab.

Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: https://indivisible.org/resource/how-senate-democrats-can-shut-down-trumps-agenda-procedural-hardball

TONIGHT: Join us, MoveOn, and Working Families Party to talk about what comes next in our fight against Trump’s unconstitutional power grab and how you can make a difference. RSVP now: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/752072/

“We stand here now to convey a very important message to America: That Russell Vought is dangerously unfit to serve as director of OMB.” - Senator Merkley after Democrats boycotted the Senate Budget Committee vote

Thank you to Sen. Merkley for leading the fight against Russell Vought’s nomination.

This is exactly what we want to see from Senate Democrats. Russell Vought is the mastermind of Trump’s sweeping (and illegal) spending freeze, and his nomination should be withdrawn. Democrats are starting to fight back, and we need to encourage them to keep going: https://indivisible.org/resource/call-your-senators-and-tell-them-oppose-russ-voughts-nomination-lead-office-management-and?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Russell Vought is the architect of Trump’s power grab — he’s the human embodiment of this unconstitutional OMB memo. Senate Democrats must throw everything they’ve got into sinking Vought’s nomination for OMB director. Let them know that you’re paying attention: https://indivisible.org/resource/call-your-senators-and-tell-them-oppose-russ-voughts-nomination-lead-office-management-and?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Trump will continue doing serious damage.

But his administration will also continue making mistakes if we keep fighting back.

Within the next 24 hours, Democrats need to take concrete steps to stop or at the very least slow Trump’s assault on Americans. There’s one obvious step they can take now: throw everything into sinking the nomination of Russell Vought, the architect of this unconstitutional chaos. Vought is the human embodiment of this unconstitutional OMB memo. Every Democrat should be supporting Schumer’s call for him to be rescinded and committing to voting no, and Republicans would be smart to do the same.

Any Republican who supports Russell Vought is voting in favor of the chaos. They will be complicit in all the cascading disasters for the American people that we got a preview of this week.

Indivisibles made 13,000 calls to Congress in the last 24 hours. There is a movement of people out there paying attention and fighting back. They expect their representatives in Congress to do the same.

After retreating on the OMB power grab memo, the White House is already insisting they will continue with chaos, cruelty, and unconstitutionality underlying that memo. They scrapped the memo and kept the coup. We need Democratic leadership to unify the caucus against this — and fast.

Trump blinked because people all over the country raised their voices, and Democrats fought back. It's proof that when we organize and expose the depravity of his agenda, we win.

But this fight isn’t over.

The chaos Trump has unleashed with this unconstitutional power grab has already touched millions of Americans as agencies, nonprofits, and people who rely on government grants for education, housing, and food assistance try to figure out what the hell is going on. 🧵 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-freeze-federal-loans-grants-white-house-memo/

If you have a Republican representative, tell them that their silence makes them complicit in this unconstitutional act and they'll be held accountable for the harm it causes if they refuse to speak up: https://indivisible.org/resource/call-your-republican-member-congress-hold-them-accountable-their-complicity-trumps?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

If you have a Democratic senator, they need to know we expect them to fight with every tool they have. This isn’t a moment for half-measures or mealy-mouthed statements. Democrats need to sound the alarm and grind Senate activity to a halt until this freeze is lifted: https://indivisible.org/resource/call-your-democratic-senators-demand-they-shut-it-down-stop-trumps-unconstitutional-power?source=mastodon&medium=directpost

Nonprofits serving veterans were unsure whether they could keep providing emergency housing to homeless vets or assistance to pay rents.

Domestic violence shelters are considering closing their doors.

Trump has been intentionally vague and guaranteed massive disruptions and hardship for millions.
