My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

We who vote for Democrats actually fight harder for this country than the Democrats we elect do.
And that's a damn shame.

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.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov Are you two losers listening to what Bernie is saying? I’m just going to have to cancel my health insurance completely if this happens…please do not vote for this!!!!
Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.
