Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Priorities.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

🚨Chief of Police, Bob Day for the Portland PD addresses falsehoods that has been spread about the current situation in Portland. - A must watch. No drama, just facts. 1/2

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution. We’re in a very bad place.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

The video ends by calling Dems "woke pieces of shit"

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage. A fire sale on farmland.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

To be clear, Republicans actually do need Democrats to help pass the CR and keep the government open. It takes a 60-vote threshold, and they only have 53 without Democrats. Save healthcare: STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS!

Fun Fact: All of these people were pardoned......

This shouldn’t matter. But also - it can’t only matter when it’s not right-wing violence.

Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford. Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime. Is it the fatherlessness in the White community? Are they Inherently violent because of their race? Or, is it the guns? Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

Meiselas: A very mentally unstable Donald Trump is making psychotic posts this morning. I’m not trying to exaggerate or make light of it — it’s just reality. He’s posting AI-generated videos promising fake alien healthcare technology from a QAnon conspiracy called “med beds.”

We're in a health care emergency: 15 MILLION people are going to lose their health care. Millions are about to see their premiums skyrocket. Republicans are in power. They need to roll back their massive health care cuts and fund the government.

‘Most people are just toughing it out’: shortage of drugs leaves Gaza’s wounded without pain relief

Mississippi, on the other hand, with a GOP governor, state house and state senate, ranks * 45th in business starts * 46th in academic performance * 51st in health care * 49th in venture capital But tell me again how the GOP is good for the economy

I want the world to read these numbers about the night attack Ukrainian Air Force downed or jammed 611 russian drones and missiles out of 643: • 566 drones out of 593 • 2 jet-propelled drones • 35 Kh-101 missiles out of 38 • 8 Kalibr missiles • 0 Kinzhal missiles out of 2 The main target was Kyiv

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Cool story but when are we going to afford beef again?

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

Portland not backing down.

Can't we just get healthcare

I've said it before and I will say it again. The same people that want you to work until you're 75 won't hire you after 50.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than make your health care more affordable.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I need some car repairs and we are having a hard time getting the parts in — it seems tariffs are playing a big part in the mess. Here is a response from a mechanic 👇🏻

Kash Patel is the head of the FBI because he wrote pro-Trump fanfic for children. Keep this in mind when he is giving out briefings.

Trump to low-income seniors: Screw you!
