OMG, I have been attending the 50501 protests and I could have been PAID??

Duffy and the rest of the cabinet "talking heads" are idiots! Everyone was handed an "Antifa" script and told to use it.
Protesting against fascist dictators, regimes and practices IS OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY, HOW ABOUT YOU?

Duffy lies. But please know people were paid (some people) for the Jan 6 U.S. Capitol riots. There were payments and there were free services (buses & such) for the MAGA mob. Yes, Insurrection paid for by friends of Donold & MAGA.

OMG folks!! You must read and listen to Nia a photojournalist who was released from Israeli prison. She was one of the Flotilla that were headed to Gaza to help the starving Palestinian people. She was brutalized so we’re all the others. Israel will start killing prople when the ceasefire ends!!

It’s hard to believe that something like taking care of loved ones needs to be a bill. But the here and now I respect him doing whatever he can to protect his constituents!!!

Republicans passed their budget bill without accepting any input from Democrats. Now they're asking Democrats to help them extend it. Um, no.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Thank you for breaking it down and standing firm. We see the obstruction, the lies, the authoritarian creep — and we’re grateful you’re still fighting for truth, healthcare, and democracy. Keep holding the line. We’ve got your back. 💙✊

Senator Murphy, everyday the Democrats are back you must speak to the people about this shutdown call press conferences everyday show the masses what the GOP are doing, ask why are they hiding!? Ask why are they trying to harm us by not supporting Medicare, Medicaid and ACA!!

I think every single Democrat house member should be in DC - sitting in their House seats- demonstrating their willingness to work for their constituents. And holding looping press conferences in the hallway.

Yes it is!! He’s afraid we are stronger! We will win this and we will destroy those that want to harm us! Protest your representatives and your senators. Phone them, leave messages do what ever you can to make them see how they are hurting you!!!

A thread you must read I’ll post the first part but please follow and like. We need senators and Representatives like Chris Murphy no more getting bullied by the inept uncaring GOP. I’m not willing to go bankrupt due the cost of healthcare!!!

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 6h

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

3/ The Senate keeps voting on 2 bills to reopen.

1. The GOP bill - it raises premiums on 22m Americans and lets Trump keep acting illegally.

2. The Dem bill - it stops the premium increases and checks Trump's illegality.

Each time, neither bill gets the necessary 60 votes.

After threatening 100% tariffs on Chinese imports from Nov. 1, Trump consulted officials, including Treasury Sec. Bessent, signaling a desire to de-escalate trade tensions. The tariff threat followed Beijing’s rare-earth export restrictions, the board reported.

I hope the protesters will do 2 things:

Sit down immediately, wherever they are - everyone just sit down on the ground & refuse to engage no matter what they do! They’ll stand out like sore thumbs!

Record every second of them - try to get identifying features of the individuals on video!
