"have to start moving forward. Here’s how Democrats can start that process...Next year, no one will remember the shutdown cave — but they will know that their premiums have gone up. It’s our job to make sure they know who raised those premiums:" open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

WATCH: “Dems should say ‘we offered them a win + a chance to help their own supporters, now we’re taking it to the ballot.’” @chrislhayes.bsky.social & @timmiller.bsky.social on what the shutdown accomplished— and Dems blowing the messaging. Full @thebulwark.com ep: youtu.be/HxFWPKApd8A?...

The spineless Senate Democrats prove that resistance must emerge @ the grassroots level. We the people must defend our nations’ values. @eddsmitty.bsky.social @norasocial.bsky.social @tigersclaw1.bsky.social @karatechrisp.bsky.social @tinapott.bsky.social @allie-froglegs.bsky.social

We all want the shutdown to end. But Donald Trump and the Republicans can't be trusted . They are evil. No promises from them can ever be trusted. They lie about everything. The 8 Democrats who voted with the Republicans are fools. The Republicans are laughing at them right now behind their backs.

So….. House reconvenes on the 12th Good to know that the restarting a 40+ day shutdown is NOT cause for emergency reconvening! They are amazing

These are the feckless fucks who continue to sabotage the Democratic Party. Fetterman is nothing but a Republican stooge! Get rid of him!! #DemocratRats

I think the House still has to vote on this bill the Senate passed. Johnson can still hold out. Is ripping apart the ACA more important than the files? We may find out. We might be facing an even longer shutdown in January. Republicans don’t want to govern, and I’m sick of it.

Don't forget these shitbag traitors. Capitulation for literally nothing, when holding all the cards and with total advantage. Was it republicans starving folk in lines at food banks that convinced them to give up? No, it was a call from a corporate donor who was losing money from the shutdown.

Damage already done. No pumpkin picking / farm family trips in October. No big holiday shopping for Nov or Dec because they MAY shutdown in January. The Trump recession followed by Trump depression has begun but they just don’t know it yet.

I understand that we can’t stop this vote, but I think everyone needs to contact their Senators and let them know how unacceptable this is, because a promise of a vote means nothing. Now we’re going to put everyone through another shutdown threat in January.

I’m not sure I understand this “deal” some Democratic senators have indicated they are willing to accept to end the shutdown. I feel we’re just giving more of our lunch money to the school bully. Please help me understand where you stand on this.

@schumer.senate.gov PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do NOT give in. They NEVER keep their promises. HOLD THE LINE!!! #RESIST

These assholes better not cave. Motherfuckers. #Resist #Shutdown

If #Democrats cave it will only emboldened the #GOP They have been trying to destroy #ACA #Medicare #SocialSecurity #DOE and #SNAP since before SNAP was called food stamps The shutdown is going to be their excuse to dismantle everything their hearts desire!

If our Senators cave on the shutdown, it will waste all our leverage for nothing but suffering. Call them NOW! Cowardice is unacceptable.

How long could you go without a paycheck while still having to work? There are real people being harmed by republican shutdown. It isn't a thought experiment or points to be scored. Repubs are the problem.

Do.Not.Cave. They can’t be trusted -Project 2025.

Republicans are primarily cowards! They know what Trump is! They know who is punished and rewarded by Project 2025! They know Trump is a criminal! They know he is all over the Epstein file! But they are too cowardly to say a word!#RepublicanCowards

Chicago’s response is a master class in #resistance‼️

DO Y'ALL remember all the Republicans that visited the Kremlin on July 4th 2018. Hmm.. I wonder what they discussed in that meeting? Wierd how they just all fall in line with Trump and shutdown the government giving him unfettered authority to do whatever he wants unchecked.

Feel the winds of change. I haven't heard politicians talk like this since....I don't know when. First Mamdani and now this future star, Hallie Schoffner in Arkansas. We can do this! youtu.be/6hMDmr1GUzc?... #resistance

Boo Fuckin Hoo! #WiddleMikeyJohnson #RESIST

Omfg So thankful I am not having to air travel This is TRUMP'S SHUTDOWN

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

They reconvene on 11/7 So…, they obviously appreciate the urgency of the situation. Right?! Just more proof that GOP can’t govern!

Well I’m sure that the rest of the funds are needed for something important like to reimburse donors for Trump’s ballroom-

In response to Trump being required to provide some SNAP benefits, MAGA is reminding grocery stores that it is illegal to give SNAP recipients discounts. The Trump admin is intentionally, consciously starving people as Netanyahu did in Gaza. www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt/ret...

Hakeem Jeffries: “The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a ped*phile protection program…that’s the reason why they refused to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.”

Over a month since the government shutdown started and Republicans still refuse to come to the table and negotiate. Congress still getting paid for no work while the working class still works without a paycheck. We have a sick country. 🤢 Poverty only exist because billionaires are too greedy.

I voted early did you?

I bet there is a percentage of the population who are government employees (not getting checks bc shutdown) who get SNAP benefits (delayed) and have family members with ACA coverage (doubling in cost). This is so so bad

They call Medicaid recipients lazy and make them prove they work a minimum number of hours to get health care. But they get full pay and health care during a shutdown to DO NOTHING!!! Won't even show their faces in their hometowns.

Remember- GOP game plan- CRUELTY IS THE POINT!

I read this morning that my county ranks No. 1 in the state for people receiving SNAP benefits at 29.5%. This in a county that voted FOR Trump by 70-plus percent. Even if the shutdown ends, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will ravage the SNAP program. Love it when people get EXACTLY what they voted for.

Republicans removed the filibuster three times this year, they can end the shutdown whenever they want. They’re lying as usual. They don’t want to do it without democrats because then they own the devastating effects of their policies.

Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor. Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families. #shutdown2025

MILLIONS of Americans are receiving notices that their health insurance premiums will shoot through the roof next year thanks to Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress. If that’s happening to you, I want to hear about it. Share your story today: www.warren.senate.gov/health-care-...

The one moment Washington insiders fear more than a coup, an indictment, or a shutdown...and why no one will talk about it publicly.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I keep hearing that Dems don’t have a message- But they do- it’s long & based on facts & empathy- They need a slogan- No more than 4 words. Hope Change Fix GOP shit show Or something
