What's happening with the government shutdown? Simply put, Republicans are holding the government hostage to get their extreme agenda passed. Democrats are fighting for a fair budget that benefits everyone. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Coming soon to a golden Gatsby ballroom near you. #WeThePeople

6am update: SNAP benefits are running out as the #GOPHealthCareShutdown drags on. Millions face empty fridges while Republicans play politics. Some states & food banks are stepping in—but aid is stretched thin. Families need relief, not hostage tactics.

Escalation.

What could possibly go wrong? These fine upstanding folks have already demonstrated how ethical they are. They'd never not turn over their texts, right? That would be a crime. /s Gifted www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u... #Voices4Victory #UsDenocracy

This is the seat #LittleJohnson is counting on to cancel out #Grijalva's vote on the #EpsteinFiles. We need to make sure #Aftyn wins.

According to the video, this woman was reporting sexual abuse in Riverside Court House & was accosted by ICE. What if she were your daughter, sister, mother or wife? How does this #ICELawlessness make us safer? Share this video & Call your Congressional rep at 202-224-3121 🧵

The signing bonus could attract people who wouldn’t normally be a part of ICE. So why is it a horrible career move? If the cruelty to others isn’t enough: Your paycheck will leave a trail right to you and the President CANNOT pardon local, state, or international crimes.

Unions are calling foul on Trump’s latest scheme to turn the federal government into his personal fan club. The administration’s so-called “merit restoration” plan would force job applicants to pledge allegiance to Trump’s political agenda, gutting decades of civil service neutrality.

Yes, #Halloween has passed, but this gem was too good not to share: #SYTYCD www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV-m...

Y'all, JD Vance says the idea of continuing to provide food assistance to the needy during the shutdown "ABSURD!" Also, JD Vance had food to eat as kid because of SNAP

Anna Julia Cooper (1858–1964) was born into slavery in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1858. Despite the challenges of post-Civil War America, she pursued an education and became a pioneering African American scholar. #GirlPower #RadicalWomen

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

Musk also said this. If nothing else, it shows consciousness of guilt.

Why is this important, you might ask. Because this *could* be the cancel-out seat for #Grijalva regarding the #EpsteinFiles. #LittleJohnson is prepared to keep the shutdown going until this election is over, in an attempt to keep the files sealed. We MUST make sure @aftynbehn.bsky.social wins.

Yesterday, we were ALL Pelosi.

Federal judge cracks down on Bovino & his thugs, while surfacing the lies coming from him, DHS & DOJ. From the Chicago Tribune. Gift link. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/06/o...

From @realcarrickryan.bsky.social's FB page. I know many people believe that once the orange plague (and his minions) are exterminated, things will go back to "normal". But as Carrick points out, once corruption sets in, it's impossible to eradicate. Look to any authoritarian country.

Timeline cleanser and fun brain tickler: Part of Oregon and Florida are over 2400 miles apart, yet only 1 hour apart.

In 9 months we went from the best economy in the world to this. Recession and starvation. Tell me again how great Republicans are about the economy.

You must be primaried @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @shaheen.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov #AngusKing You don’t represent your constituents well.

NO NO NO Don’t give up the fight. Republicans will ALWAYS blame Democrats no matter reality! We elect you to work for us NOT against us! ⬇️ Remember this?

YO, fellow Blue Michiganders, you need to hit up our boi Gary Peters like yesterday. Please remind him that promises from people who lie for a living carry no weight with his constituents.

Dear Sen. Hassan, I’m urging you to not negotiate the end of the shutdown based on a "promise" to get ACA tax extensions! We have the leverage NOW. Dems HAVE to stop being Charlie Brown to Lucy's football #DemsGrowASpine app.sosha.ai/s/AQiuJZXf

Call the White House and your members of Congress with this brilliant idea to protect the people's travel? Shut down the 12% of air travel that takes place in private jets--not the rest of our flights! Let them fly commercial so we can all reach our destinations!

I can't even imagine how bad the #EpsteinFiles must be for Republicans to be okay starving millions of americans to cover them up.

Dem Senators want to negotiate for a "promise". In addition to calls, you can send these Senators a text via www.pleasegrowaspine.org. After 11/4, we're in a position of POWER and have LEVERAGE! No negotiating. Either Republicans agree to extend ACA credits or get to own the famine that follows.

This will help

Call these Democrats, but ALSO call Republican leadership. They have a responsibility to uphold the US Constitution. They have a responsibility to govern. They weren't elected to support the Trump Crime Spree.

The ONLY issue that should matter to #SingleIssueVoters is fighting #fascism We CANNOT "save" [insert pet issue here] if we become a dictatorship. #BanishPurityPolitics #UnderstandTheAssignment

I know it feels futile but here, #TruthMatters

Updated partial list of Dem Senators negotiating to end the shutdown: Gary Peters (D-Michigan) Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) Angus King (I-Maine) Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) Maggie Hassan (D-NH) Instead of using our election blowout as leverage to extend ACA credits, they'll agree to a "promise" to do so.

@markwarner.bsky.social @klobuchar.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov @hassan.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Are you perpetually determined to be Charlie Brown to Lucy's football????? WHEN HAVE REPUBLICANS KEPT THEIR PROMISES????

Appears Democrats are perpetually Charlie Brown.
