I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.

Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk are shutting down the federal government, piece by piece.

And now Republicans have a shutdown bill that would make it worse.

Donald Trump is blocking the development of life-saving medicine.

How does that help you?

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin.

It's shameful and dangerous.

I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.
