@durbin.senate.gov If you vote yes on this shutdown deal, you will be dealing the American people and Democratic voters a gut punch from which they may not recover. This is what you choose to do with last Tuesday's overwhelming mandate from the voters?? Shame on you! Vote NO!!

If you’re a PA voter, pay attention to your Supreme Court elections coming up. The voters in NC did not see the threat clearly, the state high court flipped, and Dems got gerrymandered out of representation. Here’s a primer on why you should vote to RETAIN the three justices next Tuesday.

Today marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last raised.
Want to guess how much it would be nowadays?

Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote.

When Republicans consider Kyle Rittenhouse a victim after killing two people, but a 12 year old rape victim seeking an abortion is considered a villain, that's how you know it's not about being pro-life.
It's about controlling women!

This explains a lot. Why doesn’t the mainstream media produce commentary this clear and insightful?
I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.”

YESSS!! @booker.senate.gov just broke the record!!!
Let’s remind everyone that the last Senator who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes did so to stop the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The last time someone spoke for over 24 hours on the Senate floor was to stop Black Americans’ right to vote.
