🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.
Flood the lines. Call your Senators.

Repubs control the gov’t yet blame everyone else for their inability to run the country. They would rather let people go hungry, take away health care, and limit travel than do their jobs. Who does this? Immature, cruel, vindictive babies. They all need therapy. They HAVE mental health coverage.

I'll just leave this here. The GOP is gaslighting us.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!
249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

Referring to all older adults as “Grandma” is misogynistic and disrespectful. No one should be lumped into a category defined by their presumed gender or reproductive status. What images are conjured up when “grandma” is used in the media? Slow? Cognitively and physically less than? It’s offensive.

This would be health care crisis nightmare so that the super wealthy will have tax cuts. Is this really what republican legislators want for their constituents?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Last week, @rhodesben.bsky.social and I did a Munk Debates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age.
We won. This is from my closing statement.
There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.
