People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Seriously. Congress needs to save our country from this delusional lunatic.
25th this guy already.

They are #cowards! We have been betrayed and have lost all leverage.
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.
Breaking — 10 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to advance their funding bill, including:
Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin
John Fetterman
Kirsten Gillibrand
Maggie Hassan
Angus King
Gary Peters
Brian Schatz
Chuck Schumer
Jeanne Shaheen

THIS was the right answer.
Don't be fooled by those who voted for cloture and then vote No on CR. They think we the people aren't smart enough to know they caved and voted to support the fascist in chief and his cronies. But, we KNOW what they did and we are pissed.

A young adult friend just texted me:

How can the USDA cut 1B in food aid for food banks and kids in schools and then respond with “That program no longer matches our priorities” It’s fucking cruel.

She IS speaking out to her Senators.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Tomorrow morning, 8AM, Prospect Park West & President St, if you're mad at Schumer let's show it.

Vote NO to both! Do not cave!
@democrats.senate.gov

#NoCloture #NoCR #Shutitdown
#Cloture allows a straight majority vote on the CR giving the illusion of dissent to anyone not super informed with how the senate works.

A vote for cloture means no #filibuster & effectively voting for the CR to pass, even if @democrats.senate.gov vote no.

A government shutdown is nearing.....

And for those in the back, the Republicans have the trifecta. This is on them.

A letter from impacted employees that provides direct insight into their work and how these reductions are being executed. It is a disgraceful way to treat people and a cowardly approach to layoffs.
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?

VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media
