AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

And then they began to feel -
To feel the power of no.
It began small, with one voice stepping forward and declaring: I will not!
Then the power of no began to build, swelling and swirling until the air thundered with a resolute cry of, THIS WE WILL NOT BE!!!
