A government run by billionaires is not “for the people”. It’s for billionaires. It’s why they’re getting billions in subsidies, tax breaks and government contracts. Meanwhile, working class Americans are losing their jobs and healthcare.

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.” (Continued in comments)

One time, I interviewed the Secretary of Agriculture. I worked for about a week to make sure that I didn’t ask a question that would violate the Hatch Act. Meanwhile, these MFers exist…

GOP lies are coming fast now. They didn't have a clean funding bill; they refused to keep government open unless $90 million in our cash was released for *their* security details. Dems said no, we're not putting ourselves first, we're putting the working class's healthcare—which Trump trashed—first.

“A shutdown would not provide the Administration with any additional legal authority to engage in widespread firing of federal employees. A temporary lapse in funding does not provide grounds for an agency to fire employees.” www.cbpp.org/research/und...

Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans — and the GOP has forced a government shutdown to do it. #TrumpShutdown

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/I9awInEa

THE TRUMP ECONOMY: US private sector businesses LOST 32,000 jobs in September, far below the expected gain of 51,000, per payroll processor ADP. August has been revised DOWN by 57,000, to -3,000.

Day 1 of the government shutdown. Trump is planning to use the shutdown as cover to purge civil servants. Mass firing federal employees and dismantling agencies has been a long-time goal. Any shutdown layoffs are ILLEGAL. He has zero new authority to fire federal workers.

Democrats need to know that we have their backs as they fight to stop Trump’s devastating healthcare cuts. Make sure your elected officials hear from you.

Nobody wants a government shutdown (do they?), but the current administration claims the shutdown is the fault of Democrats, so I wonder why the GOP, who have the presidency, the senate, and the house, allowed this shutdown, and refuse responsibility for it. Are we still a democracy? #FascismSucks

This is very, very bad.

Remember, this is why the government is shut down. In the words of their Dear Leader:

Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere. Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself. Stand with us today. Donate at this link: n.pr/46wamAj

The call for convicting and hanging Rep Jayapal is dangerous. It puts her & all active participants in our democracy in danger. I hope Republicans in this thread will condemn this unequivocally. We have to stop the madness & descent into darkness.

(Reuters) - More than 150,000 federal employees will leave the U.S. government payroll this week after accepting buyouts - the largest single-year exodus of civil servants in nearly 80 years .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Well, the federal government has officially shut down, and it’s entirely the fault of Trump and the Republican Party. They control the White House and Congress. They cancelled multiple meetings with Democrats to hash out an agreement. They clearly wanted a shutdown. Pathetic.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

Today, Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as “training grounds” for troops to confront what he called an “invasion from within.” Americans are a proud people, and no one (foreign or domestic) will threaten our home.

The government is heading towards a shut down, and Republicans are so focused on protecting rich and powerful men that they won’t allow votes this week or swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social who won her race with 69%.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than protect the Affordable Care Act. A shutdown puts ACA tax credits at risk—and in Texas, premiums could jump 289%, costing families $459 more each year. (1/2)

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The gaslighting is wild. THEY control the White House, the House, and the Senate—yet always find a way to blame Democrats for their mess. The so-called “$1.5 trillion wish list” is about protecting health care, food assistance, and housing. (1/2)

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.
