US President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked a pro-democracy resolution recently introduced by key House caucus leaders, warning that the measure’s adoption would strike a fatal blow to the Republican Party.
“They do this, and the Republican Party is DEAD!” Trump wrote in a social media post, citing a Politico story on the resolution. The proposal, unveiled last month by the heads of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, calls for the restoration and strengthening of voter protections gutted by the US Supreme Court as well as court reforms—including possible expansion of the number of justices and term limits.
Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), chair of the CPC, wrote Sunday that Trump’s post amounted to an acknowledgment that “the Supreme Court’s attacks on voting rights are about rigging elections for Republicans.”
“At least he admits it,” the progressive leader wrote on social media.
This is what Trump says about my resolution with @RepYvetteClarke, @RepEspaillat, and @RepGraceMeng to restore voting rights, end the filibuster, and reform the Supreme Court.

Politico reported that while the resolution “stands virtually no chance of adoption” in the current GOP-controlled Congress, “it is the latest indicator of how the Congressional Black Caucus and other key Democrats want to respond to the April decision that cleared the way for Republican states to redraw their congressional maps and eliminate majority-minority districts”—a reference to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.
Trump seized on the ruling to push state-level Republicans to aggressively gerrymander their maps ahead of the critical 2026 midterm elections. The president is also pressuring congressional Republicans to force through legislation known as the SAVE America Act, which would impose strict voter ID and documentation requirements nationwide, potentially blocking millions of American citizens from casting ballots under the pretext of cracking down on noncitizen voting—something that is already illegal and rare.
Trump is currently holding a bipartisan housing affordability bill hostage in a bid to get the stalled SAVE America Act through Congress.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) affirmed on Sunday that Republicans intend to attach the assault on voting rights to a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package in a last-ditch effort to get the measure through the Senate, where it has not received enough support to clear the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold. Trump has called for elimination of the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, but Senate Republicans have thus far declined to remove the barrier.
The progressive resolution that Trump attacked on Sunday also proposes “the elimination of the 60-vote threshold in the Senate”—but it specifies that the action should only be taken “under the next pro-democracy governing moment.”

I just do not understand the point in drafting legislation that you know will never get passed. Like, theres still a lot of work that goes into making these resolutions. Hundreds of collective hours.
Imagine working as a congressional aide. Imagine that you spent all your time putting together long reports; with data points, research, facts and figures to back up your claims. Translating everything into the proper legalese that it needs to be in to be official. Imagine doing all of this for weeks on end, while knowing full well that the only thing that’s going to happen to all your hard work is that it will be piled up, shredded, and then set on fire.
I just don’t understand. People try to say it’s important to have a record, but is it? Is it really? Have records done fucking anything over the past 3 decades?
Others will say “well at least they’re doing something!” but that’s a shitty argument if the something they are doing is worthless. Imagine a firefighter trying to put out a house fire by spitting on it. Would you still say “at least they’re doing something!” or would you recognize what a futile and worthless action that is, and wonder why they aren’t doing practically anything else?
The Corporate Establishment Democratic leadership must be losing their minds. Between the Progressives and the Black Caucus, they won’t be able to keep up their role as controlled opposition. They are going to have to go against their Sociopathic Oligarch and Zionist leash-holders, and actually govern for a while, and probably even pass legislation that their Slavemasters don’t want.
AND crush MAGA and purge it from our government and society.
