This is
   a longer note from me, but it’s incredibly important — and I hope you read
   it.
   I’m not going to sugarcoat this: It’s really tough out there right now.
   This is a moment where we have seen the President of the United States
   violate the Constitution and bomb Iran — without Congressional approval,
   and without a long-term plan for our service members, the people in the
   region, or for stability and peace.
   This is a moment where we have seen the President of the United States
   turn the National Guard and Marines against civilian protesters out in Los
   Angeles, a moment when people are being snatched off the streets by ICE,
   snatched by people who are wearing masks, who don't identify themselves,
   who stuff people into unmarked vans, who bust out car windshields, who
   hang out at elementary schools trying to snag people in.
   This is a moment where the budget cuts in Washington are aimed at our
   education system, at cancer research, at ALS research, at climate research
   — at so many of the things that give us brighter futures.
   Put plainly: This is a moment where the President of the United States is
   the most openly corrupt human being to serve that office.
   And where are the Republicans in Congress? I've just got to say, they seem
   to be suffering a major medical emergency. They have had their spines
   removed. Evidently, the only movement they are physically capable of at
   this moment is bowing down to the great Donald Trump.
   What also makes this moment tough is simply not having as much power as we
   want. And we don’t right now — not in the House, not in the Senate, and
   obviously not in the White House. But that is not the same as having no
   power at all. We need to use what we’ve got, and I’m here to remind
   everyone that that still matters.
   Let’s take Social Security for example.
   Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk lied about identifying fraud and
   abuse in the Social Security program. They worked to fire the people who
   work at the SSA, shut down the phone services, and shut down the offices.
   So I started a Social Security War Room. We got people organized, we got
   the information, we got the data, we worked to get the story out. And
   right now the phones are still operating, the offices are still open, and
   not as many people have been fired from the agency as DOGE wanted. Right
   now Social Security is still functioning, and functioning the way it
   should.
   It's not fancy, it's not a headline, it's not setting off fireworks, but
   by God, it's standing up for a government that works for all of us. We did
   something. And that matters.
   We’re taking that same energy to the legislative fight with Trump’s Big
   Ugly Bill.
   This is the bill that would cut access to health care for over 16 million
   people, take away food support, cut a lot of our clean energy programs
   that keep our energy bills low — all so that a handful of billionaires can
   get even fancier handouts from the federal government.
   The GOP might have their majorities right now, but that doesn’t mean that
   we just accept defeat on this.
   I’ve been encouraging supporters across the country to make calls to their
   senators. We’ve already secured some wins in the reconciliation process,
   like taking out the provision that would completely wipe out funding for
   the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
   I’m trying to get Republicans on the record, asking them if they really
   believe that babies should lose their health care so that Jeff Bezos can
   buy the third yacht, and if people should be pushed out of a nursing home
   so that Elon Musk can take a rocket ship ride to Mars.
   What can you do? You’ve got to remember you can make a difference. [ [link removed] ]The
   very number one thing you can do is tell your stories. It’s powerful. When
   Trump announced that he was going to cut the Department of Education, many
   of you sent in your stories about what public school meant to you, what it
   means to someone you love, why it matters. I read some of those stories
   down on the floor of the Senate. We shared some of them with the press. I
   also got the Secretary of Education to come in and talk with me, and as
   she got ready to leave, I handed her a stack of more than a thousand
   stories and asked her to read what public education means to people all
   across this country.
   I also got her to admit in that meeting that no, she does not have legal
   authority to dismantle the Department of Education, and it may just matter
   in the pending lawsuit right now that the Secretary has said that.
   The second thing I ask you to do is organize. Organize, organize,
   organize. You know, one voice is loud when you speak up, two voices are
   twice as loud, and it goes from there. Check out [ [link removed] ]Indivisible. Check out
   [ [link removed] ]EMILY’s List. Join a group, because that makes us stronger.
   And then the third thing: I want to remind everyone to take care in this
   moment. We're in this for the long haul. We're not going to fix this in an
   hour. We're not going to even be able to fix it in a day or a week, and
   that means you’ve got to have some ways that you take care of yourself.
   I’ve got Bruce and [ [link removed] ]Bailey by my side. And I know I’ve got this
   grassroots team, too.
   Whatever it is for you, take some time, because we have so much on the
   line, and we have to be strong. To say it another way: We must persist.
   More from me soon.
   Thanks for being a part of this,
   Elizabeth
