Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

A full-time job offers no guarantee of lifting a household out of eligibility. Walmart and McDonald’s supersize their profits in part by offering wages so low that, as of 2020, both companies ranked among the top employers of Snap recipients.

The only time I interacted with David Sacks, some billionaire Trump lackey, was on Twitter and I told him the only thing I knew about him was that he'd been confidently, aggressively wrong about Russia from the moment they invaded Ukraine. He said he'd never heard of me, which was fair.

They send a signal to the most disconnected parts of the US public that the president is far from as popular as he says he is, and they send a clear warning to those institutions under pressure from the administration: Bend the knee and lose our business and support.

🚨 The soft coup is now a hard one!

After Miller called judges “insurrectionists”, a judge’s home was burned to the ground. That’s called stochastic terrorism.

Now Trump is suggesting that he may use the insurrection act to ignore the courts and the constitution.
