It's midnight in D.C., and the government has officially shut down.
Why? Because Republicans don't even want to TALK about how to stop your premiums from doubling.
This is a REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN. Make sure everyone knows it.

Y'all send support and "thank you" to @murray.senate.gov for standing strong against the GOP!
I just voted against a GOP bill that gives up Congress's power over spending.
Instead of working with Democrats to stop premiums from DOUBLING next year, Republicans are sending us straight into a shutdown—and pushing bills to give up their own power and hand it over to Trump.

Might be nice to mention this in the national news?
We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was.
But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist.

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

We are close to wiping out all professionalism from the agencies of the United States government.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I have no idea why the CDC is imploding but it might have something to do with the disparity between this headline from two days ago and another from this morning.

ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

One part of Republicans' Big Ugly Bill that hasn't gotten enough attention?
It DEFUNDS Planned Parenthood—a big step toward the GOP's plan for a Backdoor Nationwide Abortion Ban where women won't be able to get care anywhere.
NOW is the time to speak up against this heinous bill.

Trump ran on lowering prices. Instead, he’s shrunk GDP, and is now adding trillions to the deficit with the Big Ugly Bill.
Maria Bartiromo: “…the expectations called for ADP numbers to be up 95,000… actually, uh, they show a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000.”

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.
