@davidpakman.bsky.social What are you thoughts on the Dems welcoming a defense appropriation in the house? I think it's a massive mistake, as they would be giving away 90% of the ACA negotiation leverage. Defense funding is really the only thing Republicans care about.

What has two thumbs and didn't get hired by Starbucks after two interviews? [points my thumbs at myself] THIS GUY!!!

@indivisible.org What is the current position of Democrats regarding pushing for defense appropriations? I feel like this is a massive mistake on the part of Democrats to concede here because this is one of the primary things that Republicans want.

Finally our democratic legislators are fighting. I want this to be a line in the sand, and I want this to be how Democrats act moving forward. No more bullshit capitulation, no more cowering. FIGHT.

PENNSYLVANIA, MAINE & NEVADA VOTERS YOU HAVE TRAITORS Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine - once again broke ranks and voted to advance the GOP stopgap bill. You know what to do

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Hours with no air traffic controllers. Staffing shortages. Flight delays. Health care costs going through the roof. Every hour that Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to come to the table to negotiate, the American people get hurt. www.latimes.com/california/s...

@thedemcoalition.bsky.social could you PLEASE wake up and get ads on billboards and in mailers specifying Congress was gone leading up to the shutdown and the Senate left to go to a beach resort, rather than try to solve the shut down? We need a strong message - get busy.

@sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us has officially voted with Republicans three times double your healthcare premiums

Start your countdowns! Only a few hours until scumfuck traitor @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us votes with Republicans to rape American healthcare for a third time!

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Why were there no cameras when Donald Trump met with Democratic leaders about the shutdown? Because Trump doesn't want people to know about the fight over health care.

Ask @sencortezmasto.govpeeps.us why she continually votes with Republicans to rape American healthcare

Nevadans. Your Senator Cortez-Masto supports you losing health insurance and paying massive premiums. Remember her frequently

Donald Trump expected us to back down. Democrats continue to stand up to protect healthcare for everyday Americans. #RepublicanShutdown

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare 👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️🏥

New data shows the cost of Republican plan to jack up health care prices: – Premiums will more than double – A 60 year old couple would have to pay $22,600 more a year

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

@bill-coriolis.bsky.social stfu bootlicking clown

this is where i am gonna let my hopium flag fly and say fuck you to the doomers. We're winning this messaging battle so far. so keep at it! anyone that was concern trolling about Trump's insane truths or the shutdown blame game is full of shit and/or themselves. have some fucking faith for once

Trump and Republicans shut down the government to gut health care for working Americans. In my district alone, Republican cuts to Medicaid and the ACA would lead to 43,000 people losing coverage. They’re wrecking health care just so billionaires can get tax cuts.

50% of Indies blaming the GOP for this shutdown.... Sweet Moses, they are in biggggg trouble whew!

MEMPHIS’ @repcohen.bsky.social on the shutdown…

No lie detected.

Here are three more factual statements: 1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care 2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket. 3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

@repmikejohnson.bsky.social scum

Worthless peice of shit!!!!! I will make it my mission the vote her out of the senate.

@cortezmasto.senate.gov DINO TRAITOR BITCH

To keep the government open, Republicans have tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas. youtu.be/I4Avp5as_Cw

*Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are led out in front of a firing squad* Schumer: This is one more step towards authoritarianism. Jeffries: Dude! Keep your voice down.

Chuck Schumer, in an hour from now: The president plans to flood the streets with military personnel to oppress innocent people, but what he should be flooding the streets with is tax credits for the middle class!

Burn up the Capitol Switchboard. ☎️ 202-224-3121 ☎️ Call your Rep & both Senators then call Senator Schumer & Rep Jeffries. Tell them to vote NO unless we get at least the ACA/Medicaid funded. No on 7-10 extension. I also told mine to defund ICE. We shouldn't be funding terrorism in America.

Don’t believe a word the liars have to say. This fight is about the healthcare of the American people.

What part of #ShutItDown do you not understand @schumer.senate.gov, you fucking Vichy American? America is under attack by hostile domestic enemies. #NevilleSchumer

We have an opportunity to add another Blue State to defy Trump’s regime — right in his own backyard. Make some calls to help flip Virginia’s Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General from red to blue, and expand Democrats’ majority in the House of Delegates:

Jeffries: "It appears, at least to me, that a decision has been made by House Republican leaders, perhaps blessed by the administration, to shut the govt down. Why did they they cancel votes? Why are they on vacation spread out across the country & world when we're on the brink of a govt shutdown?"

"Dems will get blamed for a shutdown" as opposed to what, all the friendly coverage and positive credit they'd get for caving yet again? This whole premise is built on a delusion about what the alternative is. There's no cowering in the corner and being so inoffensive they won't still attack you.

I hope when I'm disappeared that Chuck Schumer writes a strongly-worded letter
