The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

This isn’t law enforcement doing its job. It’s the escalation of a culture of fear that punishes anyone who dares to document it.

During the latest shutdown, Democrats had two jobs: wield the limited power they had and make the political case against the GOP. In this piece from The Big Picture, Jay Kuo breaks down where the party succeeded, where it fell short, and what lessons remain.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Senate Republicans just blocked Democrats' bill that would have reopened the government and saved health care for millions of Americans.
This is the fifth time they've done this.
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.
There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.
You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.
