Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

For those paying attention to the government shutdown, I want to remind you that our government is run by the party that's selling us out as fast as it can take orders, and the party that's putting up just enough fight that we think we don't need to do it ourselves.

I burst out laughing when I saw this NYT headline, right up top. I’m STILL laughing. The Shutdown Is Near an End. When Will Things Get Back to Normal?

Take back affordable housing from "vulture capitalists"

100% true....

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

He spent the tariff money so get ready for a crash bigger than the Great Depression That'll be a great backdrop for the Second Civil War

Thank you, Senators. This is why you’ll continue to have the support of the people. @warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov

Veterans day. Thank you, all of you. As a kid I knew what my grandfather went through on the front lines of World War One and my father at Normandy, D-Day World War Two. They didn't go through hell to have frigging greedy a$$ed billionaires rout a nations sustainability and future Go to hell Trump

A great account of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald . A bit of history of industry and shipping around the Great Lakes . I’d give it a 5 star rating .

You are here.

Democrats must lean hard left to save our democratic institutions. The center ain’t what it was. Republicans have been dragging the goalposts to the right for decades. Yesterday’s conservative is today’s fascist.

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

Putting a broken government back to work is like telling someone to drive on a flat tire because it has a rim.

These corrupt cowards can’t even let us be happy for ONE week.

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland. The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh. Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

I wanna know why he and any Democrats who’ve been there 45 years which is absurd on its face, did not see what the heritage foundation was doing in the 1980s at least by 1987 or 88? They should’ve seen project 2025 coming. This is infuriating and pathetic

Loved her here as if clapping for little Lord Fauntleroy to make fun of Donald to his face.

She also was a good counter to the diarrhea jetfighter

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

This past election was a strong message that we didn’t want democrats to cave to GOP. All the progress within those districts will be lost. People will become disillusioned by voting— bc Dem leadership like Schumer & the false Democrats siding with this, make us feel like our votes don’t matter

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

I agree. Senator Murphy, if you want to save what's left of any chance at midterm gains, please spearhead the quick replacement of Chuck Schumer - the buck for this catastrophic vote and unbelievably cruel use of a government shutdown affecting so many voters negatively for nothing lies with him?

All of the hard work from so many to create progress and big wins on Election Day has been erased by these cowards and traitors. How stupid and disappointing and infuriating. Traitors. All of them.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

It took a courageous Republican bucking his party to give America affordable healthcare and eight cowardous Democrats bucking their party to take it away.

To the seven Democrats and the Independent shame! All we were asking is to show some spine and stand your ground. I hope you're happy - NOT!

Tonight was a very bad night.

Post all the traitors. Healthcare should be a given right and shouldn’t have to go broke to have it. 😢

Corporate dems show their weakness and their inability to lead. They win big on Tuesday and give away the store on Sunday. They are an embarrassment.

Please let your colleagues know that we are watching, and taking notes, and that we will not forget who fought and who folded

Bullies gain power when their misconduct succeeds in causing righteous people to yield in the face of wrongdoing. That’s why voting for Trump's continuing resolution - without any protection against his health care cuts or his growing illegality - is a mistake. I voted NO.

Sen Chris Murphy "I got back to my office after the vote tonight and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened tonight. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting."

Is this real life? My god, This country has gone completely insane

J6 Runner and height disadvantaged… 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

I like when you know they saw the post on twitter

Just found out that sloths can hold their breath underwater longer than dolphins.
