Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:
Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?
Republicans said no.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Maybe your mother-in-law wouldn't complain if she didn't get her Social Security check, but tens of millions of seniors struggling to survive would.

Actually, the White House explicitly admitted to violating the order. Their claim is they don’t have to comply with court orders.

I know people are concerned about Feds going without paychecks for a while, but this is not our first shutdown, and we have ways to keep our bills paid during a shutdown so we will be ok. But we will not be ok if this CR passes! Please call your senators and ask for no on cloture!! #ShitShowShutDown
A shutdown is necessary to preserve and protect our democracy. We can not sustain this oligarch's slash & burn strategy.
They have taken food away from children, stripped jobs from families & have taken direct aim at your social security. We must draw a hard line and hold it.

Dear Senators,
Do not hand over our democracy because you are afraid of owning the shutdown. We will remember if you sell us out. We will support you if you support us.

Any rep who votes for the CR that Republicans are pushing is not working for you. Just remember that.
Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.
When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.
The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers.
Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs

The US military has removed photos of the B-29 bomber “Enola Gay” — which dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — apparently because it contains the word “gay,” which violates their new anti-DEI rules.
