Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Dems are working together to cushion more vulnerable members by having retiring Senators vote yea. All incumbents who aren't telling Schumer to step down and their coward colleagues to resign, need to be primaried and have every day filled with angry calls

So you and Kaine just trade off supporting the GOP depending on which one of you is farthest from re-election?

Ken, we are not the uninformed cult. Schumer and Dem leadership do not get a pass. This is an orchestrated effort to get specific Dems to agree to this. Dems that won’t likely matter come elections because several of them are not seeking election. Schumer needs to be removed from leadership!

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Nancy Pelosi never let her caucus break on important votes. Chuck Schumer can't even keep his caucus together to protect 10 million people's healthcare.

Centrists and moderates, what have you done for America lately? Reminds me of the white moderates MLK warned about so many years ago. Just useless.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

Things to ponder…

Will someone please fact check this video and produce a side by side with the truth? Something that could be shared widely. @cnn.com @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Hey PA! It’s critical for the sake of protecting your freedom that you vote yes to retain these Supreme Court Justices! The wealthy are trying to buy & control your courts. Reject dark money and vote YES to retain: ✔️Christine Donohue ✔️Kevin Dougherty ✔️David Wecht #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

This is brilliant

They run the White House. They run the Senate. They run the House. And some say, they run SCOTUS. And now the government’s shut down. Don’t let them gaslight you (and they are trying as hard as they can,) this isn’t anyone else’s fault. When you hold all the power, you own the consequences.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

In case facts still matter

wow, which common vaccine was it?

This is amazing!!

The “pro-life” politicians are starving children and taking away their healthcare.

He’s destroying… The Constitution Due Process Public Safety Free Speech/Press The Economy Small businesses Farms Jobs Healthcare Women’s access to safe healthcare ACA Subsidies Medicaid/Medicare SNAP/Food access programs for children/elderly Voting Rights Our military …And the actual White House

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

…

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Undocumented immigrants are already prohibited from Medicaid benefits by FEDERAL LAW!

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @joe-scarborough.bsky.social Reminded after 1 minute why I don’t watch anymore. Ask Lisa McClain which cities have highest crime levels! The majority are RED!

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

#GVerse #Facts Do you want to mourn people who have been shot & killed? Here are the kids who died in the Uvalde shooting in 2022 These are the people Charlie Kirk said were acceptable losses so people can keep their guns. That was his opinion

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Daskalakis: There is a program called Vaccines for Children. It is the safety-net program that gets vaccines to kids. Over 50% of kids in the U.S. get their vaccines through this. If the ACIP says this vaccine should not be given to six-month-olds through 12-year-olds, the VFC won’t buy it

The only way to produce lasting peace in Ukraine is to defeat Russia, force it to return to 2014 borders and admit Ukraine into NATO and the EU. Anything less is likely simply to produce only a temporary pause before Russia attacks again.
