Wondering what you can do to fight back against (gestures broadly at everything)? This is your one-stop shop for the most impactful ways to take action right now: indivisible.org/take...

Letitia James of New York, along with 11 other state attorneys general, announced plans to sue over a cost-cutting initiative that gave young aides to Elon Musk extensive access to critical federal computer systems.

That’s correct.

More Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22-year-olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America." "We have work to do right now. ... We have not months, we have not weeks, we have days to stop the destruction of our democracy. ... We will fight."

Wyden: "Tell Elon Musk to take his hands off your money!"

“I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the United States Senate should vote for a single nominee that’s gonna participate in this fraud.” - Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social That is exactly the kind of leadership we need in this moment of constitutional crisis. Thank you, Senator Murphy!

“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.senate.gov

Fantastic and vital piece by @djrothkopf.bsky.social:

From Hopium: - Ds should make criminal referrals to DOJ/FBI for Elon. He's on a crime spree and needs to be stopped. - Leaders Schumer/Jeffries - millions of us want to help you. You need to give us things to do. - Keep making your calls everyone! 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/time-for-c...

"This is the canary in the coal mine, where they're saying, hey look, if we can get away with this for USAID, FBI is next, or the Department of Education is next." Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) slams the fact that Elon Musk has gained access to sensitive information across the U.S. government.

Join us at a rally outside Cory Booker’s South Jersey office! We are asking him to fight bad nominations and to stand up against Musk’s illegal takeover of federal agencies!

While we were visiting our Senators' offices today, our Stop Project 2025 poster got blown into the gutter... exactly where the Project 2025 plans should be thrown!

MORE 👏 OF 👏 THIS 👏 Democratic lawmakers protesting moves to shut down USAID. "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there."

Let's check in on Senate Dems today and see how the whole fighter thing is going. First, the good news:🔥 Every Dem voted NO on Vought's motion to proceed and on cloture on Bondi. But there's bad news. 8 Dems just rubber-stamped Wright for Energy. 🚨 Y'all, it's just not that hard.

Thank you, Senator Murphy for calling it what it is. #ConstitutionalCrisis

Thank you @schatz.bsky.social !!!

Join Indivisible South Bay LA & Demand Sen. Padilla Fight Back Against the Trump-Musk Funding Freeze Wednesday, February 5 11am – 1pm PST Senator Padilla's Los Angeles Office zurl.co/BMK9c

For the full statement on this case, visit: democracyforward.org/updates/anti-deia-executive-order-challenge/

As we fight, we draw inspiration from leaders who came before us. This Black History Month, we honor leaders like Thurgood Marshall, civil rights lawyer & first Black Supreme Court Justice, whose struggle & commitment to a more equitable future set the standards that we now work to protect. (2/3)

A coalition of professors, diversity officers & restaurant worker advocates represented by Democracy Forward filed suit today to block Trump’s unlawful anti-DEIA actions. We'll continue using the power of the courts to challenge unlawful policies & fight to uphold decades of legal precedent. (1/3)

So to recap — troops surges to the borders both happened BEFORE the trade war threat, and there have barely been any fentanyl seizures in Canada yet he was using that as an excuse. And yet some of y’all will really think he did something heroic here.

SPEAK UP: How’s your resilience? open.substack.com/pub/anandwri...

Resharing this piece from my newsletter Civil Discourse earlier this week in case you missed it while you were stuffing your turkey (or whatever). I get the burnout, the anger, the disgust with everything Trump. But we cannot afford to look away right now. joycevance.substack.com/p/not-broken

The next four years are gonna be bleak.

Quick intro: I'm the co-founder of Indivisible. We support a movement of thousands of local volunteer grassroots communities organizing to stop Trump, protect our families and neighbors, and fight for our democracy. Check out our plan for how we do that here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We need senators to forcefully speak out against that happening. Make sure your Democratic senators hear from you.
