The fight for freedom is constant and ongoing.
A temporary legislative set back is just that: temporary.
Keep fighting even when some political leaders do not.
Make weak leaders follow our lead.

Yes, excellent point. Mikie Sherrill's use of the "liberty and prosperity" slogan is really important. It captures this emerging Dem politics of the Trump 2.0 era very well.
Sherrill was hammering “liberty and prosperity,” the NJ state motto — which is a very flexible and nonpartisan message for Dems. Freedom from corruption, kidnappings, speech crackdowns, etc, and a chicken or at least an affordable dozen eggs in every pot
Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis suggests outlines of an emerging Dem coalition organized around anti-Trump *and* affordability politics. This is doing serious damage to the MAGA coalition. Its success this week undermines the idea of a big Trump 2024 realignment. 7/

Democrats won because they communicated their values of affordability and freedom with their policy ideas, attracting voters.
Republicans lost because they communicated destruction of democratic values with their actions, repulsing voters.
Values win elections.

This is the exact inverse of Trump's "I alone" strict-father BS, which is powerfully coded in American brains. And verily, this is how we win.

The shutdown is about whether 24 million Americans get to keep their healthcare affordable or if they have healthcare at all.
Make sure your members of Congress know you want affordable healthcare for everyone.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It's about values.
Speak up for what you believe in.
Speak up for empathy and investments that grow the whole economy and benefit everyone, not just the wealthy.
Make sure your members of Congress and everyone around you knows your values.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
