👀 Livestream by House Democrats as the country moves closer to a Republican government shutdown. All Republican MoCs are absent from work in D.C., in dereliction of their duties as reps of the people. Some have been caught at fundraisers.🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dm-... #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Today I did something incredibly empowering, SUPER fun...thrilling actually. It was 100% free & made me feel like a hero. I did it right from my computer & maintained total privacy. You can do it, too! I called voters & convinced 11 people who knew nothing or were confused to vote YES ON PROP 50.

We are united against kings. Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a 3rd term. But the American people don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power. Go to nokings.org.

They call it “civics.” We call it propaganda. The America 250 coalition is backed by dark money, designed to silence teachers, defund schools & indoctrinate kids. If they win, we all lose. Read, share, and help fight back against this assault. www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/america-25...

“Fortunately for Comey, the President puts so much in writing! Comey can easily point to all of those social media statements to argue that the charges aren’t just based on his alleged wrongdoing, but on politics or personal ill will,” www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/p...

The latest Epstein estate haul drops the names: Musk, Thiel, Bannon cast in the shadows of a predator’s web. Flight manifests, calendars, ledgers: blood-stained evidence of proximity to abuse cloaked in silence.  Every redaction is a promise unkept to survivors, every dodge a contempt to justice.

DAILY REMINDER CALIFORNIA 🚨 VOTE YES ON PROP 50‼️ November 4, 2025 October 20, 2025 is the last day to register. Register and same day voting is allowed.

Yes. Demand it every day. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Yesterday’s shooting at an ICE facility is deplorable. There's no place for violence in America. We can speak out against Trump’s destructive immigration policies. We can protest as ICE carries them out. But political violence is absolutely unacceptable.

Who did this? 🔥

I received this letter from #SenJeffMerkley in response to my concerns about #ICE. Some of this is information I didn’t know. 😳 (See ALT TEXT for the most relevant parts of the letter.)

Portland threatens to evict Ice from Oregon facility over permit violations Records obtained by Street Roots and the Guardian back claim from Oregon city’s mayor that Ice violated a land-use permit to detain people overnight. From @theguardian.com ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are spending 100k to get rid of 500 metric tons of expired food that USAID had in the pipeline to feed starving kids in other countries because the fuhrer stopped the deliveries. Got it! Spending 💰 so kids will die. 🗣️ @lqlana.bsky.social

Trump just canceled his meeting with Democrats as the shutdown looms. Let’s be clear: Trump and Republicans control the White House and Congress. Any shutdown is 100% their leadership failure. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

For once, Trump and I agree. If Republicans refuse to work with Dems to save ACA credits, Medicaid, and many other necessities that touch almost every American in some way, they'll shut down the country. And that bad look is 100% on the current POTUS! Stand strong, Dems! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

What's happening with the government shutdown? Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed. Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that benefits everyone. We're supposed to be a Republic, NOT a monarchy or dictatorship! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

We're days from a gov shutdown, and the GOP owns this mess! They hold the House, the Senate, & White House, but they refuse to lead. We cannot stay silent, while they mock those who suffer. Shake cages with the tools enclosed! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/republican...

His #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do. Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown. Those are his words😉 #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

🚨Don’t let them lie to you! The GOP controls the Presidency, the House, and the Senate—yet they’re choosing to shut down the government instead of negotiating and passing a budget that serves the American People. 💥15 million Americans deserve to have healthcare! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Trump’s administration has trampled the law, withheld funds, and abused power at every turn. Now they’re threatening to shut down the government, holding workers and families hostage, unless they get their way. America deserves better. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown #USDemocracy #Pinks

$20k per year increase!? No thanks! The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits. Meanwhile, Rs would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

🎧 Don’t Let Them Lie to You! The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House, and the lives & livelihoods of 15M people are on the line! If the government shuts down, it's because THEY chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the American people. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Don’t get it twisted: Republicans didn’t “stumble” into this. Trump told them to shut it down, and they obeyed. Leader Jeffries: Republicans have decided to shut the government down. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

The Congressional Budget Office says 15 + million AMERICANS are in danger of losing their health insurance because Trump would rather shut down the government than negotiate with Democrats. What a jackanape! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress canceled talks to avoid a destructive shutdown. They’re intent on inflicting economic pain and spiking healthcare costs. Make no mistake: they own this shutdown. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown #USDemocracy #Pinks

Americans are standing on a cliff: health insurance premiums will soar 75% and DOUBLE in rural America. Instead of fixing the GOP’s healthcare mess, Trump is threatening to shutter the government. Cruelty over solutions, chaos over care. Tell your Dems to stand strong! #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

All praise to our Dear Leader, working relentlessly to prevent #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown. He's at the epicenter of negotiations at...mmm...the Ryder Cup match. Great Father is clearly gravely concerned that millions will lose healthcare, jobs, & maybe their lives. That's dedication. What a guy! 🙄

Not sure what's going on with the government shutdown? Here's the deal: Republicans are refusing to negotiate and putting healthcare for millions at risk. Spread the word about #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown Toolkit: https://social.demcast.com/toolkit/GOPShutdown-0d31

#TrumpsGovernmentShutdown Pass it on And not just on social media. Talk to your family, friends, and neighbors. Republicans control: -The White House -The Senate -The House THIS IS ON THEM! Full stop.

A $7,000 health care bill could soon soar to $24,000. Notices are coming. Democrats are fighting to stop this disaster. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs explode. Let’s be clear: Republicans OWN this crisis. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Thank you to @cantwell.senate.gov for standing up for #healthcare, our economy, our families, and our futures. Check out her must-read report on rising healthcare costs. Republicans must stop the healthcare cuts & work for, not against, America. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

“It’s in everybody’s interest to keep the government open and protect health care.” Trump ＆ Republicans should stop playing games and negotiate. Democrats are ready to work for the people. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

The GOP has abandoned ship instead of fighting for your healthcare. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Trump and Republicans want chaos. We want truth. That’s why we’re flooding the feeds and storming every platform. No more silence. No more excuses. Join the fight, share the storm, and make them own this shutdown 👇 👉 www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/republican... #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Rep. Jamie Raskin: Trump is holding our federal workers hostage, using their livelihoods as leverage while refusing to negotiate to keep govt open. Democrats will defend health care ＆ workers’ rights. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown social.demcast.com/s/NGa6BDeR

A government shutdown is just 5 days away. No deals made, no productive talks, no leadership from Trump or Speaker Johnson. If the government shuts down, responsibility is on them. But the real cost will fall on the American people. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Confused about the government shutdown? Here are simple facts: Democrats want to protect healthcare and lower costs. Republicans are blocking them. That's what's at stake. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown
