🎯 Beto O'Rourke:
"And notably, in the Senate those #Democrats standing strong included both hardline progressives in safe seats (#BernieSanders) and more moderate members in battleground states (#JonOssoff). But at the 11th hour, this emerging unity was betrayed by Democratic Senate leadership that seeks to appease #Trump in the false hope of a better political fight down the road."

Beto’s Substack · Schumer surrendersBy Beto O'Rourke

I recently decided, for a brief time, to unfollow most of my political feeds. It is important to do the work, but it is also important to take breaks to be in a position to re-enter the fight rested and ready. #resistance is a marathon, not a sprint. We must all take care of ourselves so we are ready to jump in.

A choir, I am told, can hold a note infinitely, as individual voices can drop in and out.

To those who are tired, join me, take a break, walk in the woods, read poetry and listen to song, and let your mind, body and soul take a break, and when you are ready, continue the battle from a position of strength.

To those who have been resting, who are doing well, but afraid of the battle. Jump in. You will take injuries, to your mind, emotions and spirit. You will be tested and tried, and in some places, you will be found lacking. Go in, do the work, and when you can fight no more, stop, and tend to your wounds.

This is the way of nature, the way we grow stronger, and the way we form scars not which destroy us, but which make us who we are, and guide us on our path.

“My dad’s from Bosnia, and that’s informed my outlook on what can be irretrievably lost,” he said, citing the destruction of nearly two million books when Sarajevo’s National Library was shelled in 1992. Now he’s teaching dozens of Americans to save data from their own rogue government

The New Yorker · The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s PurgeBy Julian Lucas

"We're only 8 weeks in, & already, ppl are💙fighting back. Americans are standing up for their rights. Rallies in support of fed WKRs, vets, science, & UA are growing, & the energy is only building.

Town halls are no longer routine pol theater—they’ve become battlegrounds. Constituents, angry, scared, & determined -showing up in force, demanding answers from lawmakers.

In GA’s 8th Dist., frustrated voters: host their own town hall outside Rep Scott's.."

Unmasking Russia · Hope in the Face of Trump and Musk's DestructionBy Olga Lautman

"Trump will get more *legal* power over the federal budget under the CR, at least per numerous appropriators/approps experts I've interviewed

Sen Murray published a list of examples of programs that the House-passed measure could allow Trump to change w/o Congress

Trump would have🚨“near-absolute” authority over specific Army Corps of Engineers projects. More authority to pick which HC or mental health programs to implement. “Broad discretion” over CDC programs."
