We were in Tuba City over the weekend supporting the Best Friends Animal Society during their animal care event. A great turnout and a wonderful reminder that our pets are our best friends! 🐶🐱 #BestFriendsAnimalSociety #TubaCity #AnimalCare

27 members of Congress have demanded Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee secure 16-year old Florida resident and U.S. citizen Mohammed Ibrahim’s release from 10 torturous months in Israeli prison. Rep. Moskowitz has not signed on. I will.

It looks like I’ll be headed back to DC again this week to vote another HELL NO on a bad deal that leaves millions of Americans without healthcare. This is not what we fought for. I will always stand with the American people.

Going live in 15 minutes. See you there! www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

We need to be protesting at Tim Kaine’s offices and House this week! We need to be protesting in front of Jean Sheen’s house and office. The Dems need to know this will NOT be accepted or forgiven, and they will ALL pay the price, because we know a team betrayal when we see one! We need to

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

IT AIN'T OVER YET! CALL YOUR SENATOR! youtu.be/nXDpdFmGcGg?...

Once the government reopens, precedent has already been set, if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizona’s 7th District, someone else will. In Powell v. McCormack (1969), the

Folks *should be* spitting mad about a few Senate Dems capitulating as health insurance premiums skyrocket for 25M people. But where’s that same energy when it comes to guaranteeing healthcare without premiums at all for 350M people through Medicare for All? 🤔🤔🤔

You're Goddamn right we do, @governor.ca.gov. Thank you for saying it. This f*cking l*mp d*ck "fight" for democracy we've been seeing out of these folks is the pinnacle of utter incompetence and lack of will to win.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

@parkroseperma.bsky.social shares some important insightful thoughts on the senate betrayal. Please watch and share. Call your senator and get them on the record supporting @schumer.senate.gov removal from Dem leadership. #CACO youtu.be/jsW3ymHOKL0?...

Anti-ICE protesters held an 80’s-themed yoga class outside the Portland ICE facility.

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

We support you! Let's do this thing. @khanna.house.gov @hcrichardson.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @psychopete.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @thetnholler.bsky.social @aaronparnas.bsky.social @steadystatevets.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social substack.com/@thedangerou...

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Medicare for All. No PAC money. Childcare $10 a day. Double housing. Anti-corruption agenda. 1,000 trade schools. Modern factory & care jobs. No bombs to Israel. I call it new economic patriotism.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Call our Democratic Reps and say you want them to vote NO: Sanford Bishop-2nd District (202) 225-3631 Hank Johnson-4th District (202) 225-1605 Nikema Williams-5th District (202) 225-3801 Lucy McBath-7th District (202) 225-4501 David Scott-13th District (202) 225-2939

Right now, Democrats want to see their elected officials out there fighting for them. I am thankful to Senators Ossoff and Warnock for voting against this deal which provides no extension to the ACA subsidies that millions of families rely on.

We’re fighting fascists. Masked men are assaulting women and priests, tearing children from their parents’ arms, and disappearing people to private prisons. Republicans are starving us and kicking us off our healthcare. Yet Democrats care more about getting along in the Senate chambers.

People want their members of Congress to fight for them with everything we've got. Senate Democrats should listen and reject this funding deal that does nothing to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing.

Every Senate Democrat voting with Republicans on the CR is voting to kick 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and raise ACA insurance premiums on another 20 million. They put federal workers into economic upheaval for 6 weeks and screwed over 35 million people. We are furious.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Agreeing to let millions of Americans lose healthcare isn’t compromise, it’s capitulation.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

Americans have endured the pain of the longest government shutdown in history for a “deal” that guarantees nothing on healthcare. If Republicans wanted to vote to extend subsidies, they would’ve done it already. Capitulating is unacceptable.

This is not a deal, it’s a surrender to Trump. Senate Democrats should reject this plan that does nothing to prevent healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. I’ll be a HELL NO in the House.

This moment demands fighters, not folders.

This “deal” would force 370,000 Arizonans to pay more for the same or worse healthcare coverage. I refuse to make life harder for the people I serve. I’m absolutely a NO.

Always happy to connect with more resistors! Thanks for including me in your list.

DO NOT CAVE @schumer.senate.gov youtu.be/jkXu9XYgpiE?...

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.

I’m a HELL NO on this deal.

Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare. I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

This is what premiums spike to for a man with cancer who is a taxi driver in AZ (met his son). This is Ambetter, operated by private health insurer Centene. It's why we need to extend the ACA credits & fight for Medicare for All.

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

Senate Democrats are about to sell us out. Remember that when they text you for money.

@schumer.senate.gov If you dare cave to the Republicans we WILL make sure you get voted out. Quit being a PAB and fight!

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
