Republicans JUST VOTED DOWN our bill to avoid a government shutdown at midnight and address the healthcare needs of the American people.
Republicans are plunging us into a government shutdown rather than fixing their healthcare crisis.

Donald Trump says that a shutdown is a tremendously negative mark on the president.
But he’d rather shut the government down than protect your health care.

It looks like they're doing "parades" too. At first I thought someone reposted a video of the No Kings protests but I'm very familiar with that street and noticed a building that had scaffolding up that day is clear in this video. Anyone from LA have more details on what's going on there?

@dividedargument.bsky.social I enjoyed the cross-over episode with Advisory Opinions. Would also be interesting to hear a discussion with Prof. Vladek, as he has what seems like legitimate criticizms of the majority / concurring opinion.

As folks chew on the new @pewresearch.org analysis of non-voters in 2020 and 2024, I'm here to say that the only time in U.S. history voting was made a legal duty, it happened because conservative incumbents felt threatened by a changing electorate and hoped 100% turnout would save them. 🧵
1. Voter turnout, 2020-2024
Overall and across most demographic groups, Trump’s 2020 voters turned out at higher rates in 2024 than Biden’s did, a Pew Research Center analysis shows.
