Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Trump claims to fight antisemitism. Also, his DOJ just fired a senior attorney for not going along with giving guns back to a violent antisemite, Mel Gibson, who says he deserves a gun because Trump made him "ambassador" to Hollywood, which he believes is controlled by "the Jews."

Wear MAGA hats, beat up police officers, try to assassinate elected officials, & join a mob to overturn a free and fair election? All good! You get pardoned!
Exercise your free speech to protest Israel's war? You get called a supporter of terrorism, detained, and deported.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

These highly-skilled workers resigned rather than take people’s personal data and dismantle vital public services. I’m inspired by their commitment to the Constitution and public interest—and their willingness to speak out against Musk. apnews.com/article/doge...

Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.
