The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Why vote to legitimize Trump's coup?

Erica Chenoweth and company just shared the highly encouraging results of their new study. Here's a bit but read and share the whole thing.

A) Get back to work and negotiate. B) How about feeding our children instead of bailing out Argentina? C) Release the Epstein files.

This. Said. It. All. ⬇️⬇️ Please. Share. So. Everyone. Knows. The. Truth.
