Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, can't afford to feed their families, and struggle with cuts to the safety net made to finance tax cuts for the super-rich.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

A lot of people who sign up for their health insurance next month will see that it’s doubled or tripled in price. That’s unaffordable.
And that's what Democrats are fighting to stop from happening, but Trump and Republicans would rather shut down the government than fix it.

Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
