Here’s what the shutdown is really about:

Please don’t vote for a bill based on a promise from a bunch of liars! @ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov

Trump Admin Threatens to Penalize States That Don’t ‘Undo’ Full SNAP Payments “This president will stop at nothing to take food out of the mouths of hungry kids across America. Soulless,” said Democratic Sen. Patty Murray. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-p...

My understanding is that Chuck Schumer and leadership aren’t caving but these senators are: call them!

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THE SHUTDOWN @schumer.senate.gov A "PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE" MEANS THAT PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR HEALTHCARE

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

I stand with @sanders.senate.gov. This is not about politics, but about real people. It's not about securing a vote for show, but preventing premium hikes for Americans who are scared of what that will mean for them.

10 Democrats are ready to cave to Trump's demands to end the shutdown. I assume those are the same ones who voted for the last CR and backed many of Trump's nominees. Shaheen and Fetterman backed 11 of Trump's yes-men. Hassan backed 10. If you call Chuck Schumer, call them as well. Apply pressure.

Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics. The new generation coming into leadership has no tolerance for cowards.

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Mike Pence: I don't believe the Constitution affords the President the authority to unilaterally impose tariffs on friend and foe, and I hope the Supreme Court turns that around. Ultimately, American businesses and American consumers pay the tariffs.

Come and celebrate with me! 🦋 I’m one year on Bluesky today, Nov 9. Here are some of the people who accompanied me during that time. So thank you for the support, the conversations, the acceptance, the appreciation, the actions, and the fun! 💙 go.bsky.app/qMCwt8

Adam Schiff says he is shocked by the “cruelty” motivating Trump’s SNAP policy The California Democrat said: "Who goes all the way through the court system to cut food from people who need it right now?"

Republicans: We don't like the clothes you have. Get rid of them at once! Us: But what will we wear? Them: Give us the old ones, then we will try to find you a better, more appropriate wardrobe. Us: But... 🤷‍♀️ Them: Stop complaining. We have made everything better for you already. 😩

They don’t care how many of their own starve or die as long as they destroy the accomplishments of one black man.

HERITAGE FOUNDATION/PROJECT 2025 FAUX"CHRISTIAN IDEOLOGUES and criminal fascist lying TRAITOR TRUMP are who picked ALL of these corrupt SCOTUS RW political IDEOLOGUES for their pseudo"Christian" agenda. We the People do NOT wish to live in a fascist OLIGARCHY/THEOCRACY like SHIT-HOLE RUSSIA OR IRAN.

When you are playing CHESS and not CHECKERS.....

Trump‘s brilliant plan of 50 year mortgages means that after your first 20 years making huge interest payments to a bank you will have paid down almost none of the principal and they will still own the house you are living in with 30 years to go. A scam from a career con man.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations. Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it. F the patriarchy.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well now…🦃🍿

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police. It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
