Aftyn Behn is fighting back against the billionaire boys club! 💥 She joined End Citizens United to expose how big money rigs the system and build a people-powered campaign for working Tennesseans. #TN07

Democrats refuse a 7-week delay! Waiting on #GOPHealthCareShutdown means 20M face higher premiums & 15M risk losing Medicaid. The fight for families is NOW, not later!

“My mom gets $25 a month in food stamps. My son drives DoorDash. I worked in a warehouse. We share what little we have with other family. But how do you ‘get off the system’ when there are no jobs?”
This is who’s paying the price for the #GOPHealthCareShutdown.

The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t about “fiscal responsibility.” It’s about:
1️⃣ Skyrocketing healthcare costs
2️⃣ A system that puts profit over patients
3️⃣ Blocking universal public healthcare that would lower costs + save lives
This shutdown is cruelty over kindness.

Democrats stand firm: No healthcare for food tradeoffs! Republicans' shutdown demand? Let ACA subsidies expire, hitting millions. We won't sacrifice healthcare for political games. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

John Oliver: Millions could see skyrocketing health insurance rates on Jan 1 because of GOP cruelty—then pivoted to roast J.D. Vance as “a Pope killer.” Can we prove it? No. But after what happened to Francis… coincidence? We think not. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

6am update: SNAP benefits are running out as the #GOPHealthCareShutdown drags on. Millions face empty fridges while Congress plays politics. Some states & food banks are stepping in—but aid is stretched thin. Families need relief, not hostage tactics.
November 7, 2025 at 6:39 PM
Call the senators in the video and demand they stand firm. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown is hurting families and our democracy. No compromises on healthcare, food, or dignity—end the shutdown now.
November 7, 2025 at 6:37 PM
Rachel Maddow warns: if Republicans let ACA subsidies expire, millions will face massive premium spikes. A WV couple’s plan could jump from $300 to $4,700 a month. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown isn’t fiscal discipline—it’s a war on working families’ health and wallets.

Immigrants don’t get government healthcare—they help pay for ours. The #GOPHealthCareShutdown punishes the very workers who keep this country running.

Thank you to Rep. Yassamin Ansari for this act of total badassery—showing what real leadership looks like when others stay silent. Keep bringing the fire, the facts, and the fight. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

The future of our state is at stake. NJ needs a governor who'll prioritize our safety, our economy, and our families. Mikie Sherrill has the plan and the courage to get it done. She'll invest in our schools, our transportation system, and our communities! #VoteNJ

“I’m drowning. This is crushing me.” That’s what NJ families tell @MikieSherrill as Trump drives up costs with tariffs that line his own pockets.

She’s pledged to fight for NJ while her opponent fights for one man only: Donald Trump. #VoteNJ

First responders like Eddie and the FMBA have stood with Mikie Sherrill from day one—because they know she’s the kind of leader who takes on the toughest fights.
Jack Ciattarelli? He cashed checks from opioid companies and helped spread their lies about addiction.

For those who haven’t met him, @drdale.caldwell is the real deal—an educator, pastor, father, and community leader who leads with heart and integrity. New Jersey will be lucky to have him as our next Lieutenant Governor. #VoteNJ

Hey New Jersey,
Just remember Jack Ciattarelli voted to raise taxes every chance he got. What do you think he’ll do as Governor?

Vote for Mikie Sherrill: a proven history of fighting to lower taxes & costs for you.

After the Trump regime illegally leaked her unredacted military file to Jack Ciattarelli’s ally, Mikie Sherrill thanks veterans nationwide for standing in solidarity.

She makes one thing clear: no veteran’s private records should ever be weaponized for politics. #VoteNJ

New Jersey deserves leaders who put people over politics. Our Democratic candidates for State Assembly & Senate are fighting for safer communities, stronger schools, affordable healthcare, & protecting freedoms. Let’s elect reps who’ll deliver for every NJ family. #VoteNJ
October 9, 2025 at 5:40 PM
She’s not just talking, Mikie Sherrill is standing up, calling out Trump & his corrupt regime, calling for transparency, accountability, and justice.

We need leaders who won’t flinch.
Jersey needs that fire. #VoteNJ 🔥
