The Republican shutdown isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Project 2025 extremists who think chaos is a strategy.

Always a pleasure to join a canvass in support of my friend @jcole4va.bsky.social with a special guest in @kaine.senate.gov!

There’s just a few short weeks left to get out and vote for Josh and Democrats up and down the ballot - don’t miss your chance to make your voice heard.

Cindy and I are hoping for a quick recovery of the missing and are our thoughts with all those affected. I join those calling for a full investigation into understanding what and how this happened.

My thoughts are with those affected by the devastating explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems.

This tragedy is unthinkable, and in a tight knit community like Bucksnort, every loss is felt all the more deeply.

Republicans own this shutdown. They chose chaos over compromise, extremism over responsibility, and now families across America are paying the price.

Trump again targets someone who dared hold him accountable for his corruption.

This is a blatant attack on the rule of law and the weaponization of our justice system to serve a wannabe authoritarian.

I see Democrats standing up for democracy. I wish Republicans would do the same.

Good luck, @abigailspanberger.com! I can’t wait for everyone watching to hear more about your vision for a stronger, safer, and more affordable Virginia.

VA, be sure to tune in and if you haven’t already, make a plan to vote for Abigail and every Dem on your ballot.

Republican chaos comes with a price tag: billions wasted, vital services delayed, and American families paying the cost.

Trump told farmers to 'not worry', but now, their livelihood is suffering due to his stupid, pointless tariffs.

Just another war Trump was willing to start - regardless of how it affects the American people.

Soybean farmer: If we don't move soybeans offshore, there is more here than we will utilize internally. That will cause further prices decline. We would much rather have a market and get revenue from there than the government. A self-inflicted wound here.

I hope that today will be the start of the of end this horrific war.

It is time for Hamas to return the hostages to their families and for Israel and Hamas to follow through on the ceasefire so the fighting can end.

A shutdown isn’t just a DC drama. It means federal workers are left in limbo, paychecks for military families go unsent, and seniors wait longer for services.

Democrats are fighting for healthcare, education, and lower costs. Republicans are shutting down the government.

The Republican shutdown means military families go without pay, Medicare and Medicaid recipients face delays, and federal workers are left in limbo.

Today, we mourn the lives lost two years ago in the largest pogrom of Jewish people since the Holocaust.

As I have before, I continue to call on Hamas to release hostages and hope that we are near the end the violence.

Our democracy is under siege, and cowards in Washington are bowing to Donald Trump. Kentuckians deserve a leader who’s battle-tested and ready to fight from day one. I’ve done it as a Marine and for Kentucky. I’m ready to complete the mission. Join me.

Republicans want credit for “fighting” for a continuing resolution – but they didn’t even show up for votes. What they’re really doing is failing the American people.

Cindy and I are heartbroken for Candi Mundon King and her family after the tragic loss of her dear daughter Candis after a courageous battle with sickle cell disease.

No words can truly provide comfort, but I hope Del. King & her family can find support in their community in this devastating time.

We’re just a month out from Election Day in Virginia.

It’s time for VA to send a message that we’re tired of Republican chaos.

Make a plan to vote for @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, @jonesjay.bsky.social, and Dems up and down the ballot. Your voice couldn’t be more important.

Every day this shutdown drags on, our economy loses billions and hardworking families pay the price. Republicans chose political games over governing — and Virginians are suffering.

Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07) @gene4va.bsky.social · 7d

The shutdown rages on. Military families aren’t getting paychecks, small businesses can’t access loans, and Virginians are waiting longer for Social Security and Medicare help.

Republicans own this mess.

Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07) @gene4va.bsky.social · 8d

This shutdown is the result of Donald Trump, Speaker Johnson, and House Republicans choosing chaos over governing.

Virginians are paying the price for their political games.

Medicare and Medicaid patients are facing longer wait times and delays. WIC funding is at risk of running out.

We need Republicans to meet us across the aisle to pass a bipartisan budget that protects health care, invests in our schools, and lowers costs for hardworking families.

🚨Day 3 of Donald Trump and MAGA Mike Johnson’s shutdown.

I’m standing in solidarity with the tens of thousands of federal employees and twenty of thousands of military personnel who are missing paychecks because Republicans don’t want to fund public schools, lower costs, or keep health care.

Congressman Eugene Vindman (VA-07) @gene4va.bsky.social · 8d

Just months ago – Trump claimed he “knew nothing about” Project 2025.

Now, months later and tens of thousands of civil servants’ jobs lost, he’s leaning fully into Russ Vought’s agenda of chaos and cruelty.

This has to stop.
