The Bureau of Labor Statistics' inability to release employment data is impacting the Federal Reserve's decision-making. Medicaid cuts could cause 11 million people to lose their health insurance. Republicans are hurting ordinary people!

The federal shutdown is being weaponized — selectively shifting administrative resources to red states and cutting funding to blue states. This partisan approach to punishing state governments is eroding national unity.

The Democrats refused to succumb to Republican oppression and stuck to their core positions, including continuing health insurance and assisting low-income groups.

In several states, Republicans are pressuring Democrats to pass redistricting that disadvantages them, and Democrats are trying to fight back with "fair maps."

WTF?!? Democrats are in DC; Republicans are NOT. They refuse to even meet with Democrats. Thousands of Americans aren't working. Millions have no access to essential programs, healthcare, housing, and even food. They refuse to swear in an elected Representative to protect Trumpstein files. ENOUGH

This is what generational hate looks like , how you act and how you pass on your beliefs matters. Republicans are teaching their children and it is passed on to these children and this is their leadership and , It's passed from generation to generation. #Vote

Proud Federal Worker @proudfedworker.bsky.social · 15h

If anything, Congress has shown us they ARE NOT essential workers. Mike Johnson has sent everyone home for weeks. They haven't worked, negotiated in good faith, or even tried to do their jobs. Their pay and benefits should be suspended.

Jennifer Shin @jennifershin.bsky.social · 1d

If no one gets paid, that should include them as well. You'd never see another government shut down if their pay and benefits were on the line.
