Republicans want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans — and the GOP has forced a government shutdown to do it.

We're optimists. We face bad news w steadfast dedication to elect better leaders each election. And even as this administration piles on bad actions (like tariffs causing 30 nations to halt shipments & low-value parcel prices to skyrocket, hurting American consumers & small biz), we keep working.

Oh, the flood of unpleasant news! Remember, tho, #midterms are coming, & if we put in the work now, we'll have better leaders later. Spread the word re: the #BigUglyTinyHeartedBill & who put the bad policies in place. Also, help ppl register to vote or ☑️ their reg at vote.org.
