Pure 🔥🔥🔥from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich.
Republicans passed this knowing people will die.
They know people will lose their health care.
They know children will go hungry.
They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

🚨🚨 Republicans just voted to close rural hospitals, cut health insurance for millions, and slash food assistance for Veterans. All to pay for a tax break for billionaires.
We will never let them forget this. We will ABSOLUTELY hold them accountable.

Yikes! This bill is a disaster for Alaska. But most states have similar stories of a bleak future if this passes—especially red states.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Call your Senators and urge them to #VoteNo 👀

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit.
House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent.
They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

I agree with Speaker Johnson.
No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest.
It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it.
Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.
