People are having trouble feeding and caring for their pets. Surrenders at shelters are up. So sad that someone would have to give up a beloved pet for financial reasons. Help in your community or neighborhood. If you know of good nonprofits that are working on this issue, please link below.

There is NOTHING about being a Ride Or Die Democrat that precludes you from supporting primary opponents. It does, however, prevent you from pissing on the party as a whole and suppressing voter turnout. 💙☠️💙☠️💙

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

Full statement:

Get on the phone right now and tell these senators to vote NO. The main number in Adam’s post is the automated capital switchboard. Just ask for the name of the senator and the switchboard will connect you to their office.
And if that doesn’t work, try 202-224-3121

PLEASE!
I believe that @kaine.senate.gov is a good man. I cannot believe that he thinks Republicans are good men and women who will keep their word. About anything.
DO NOT CAVE!

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Please do not vote for the Republican plan to end the shutdown with a promise to vote on ACA subsidies in December.

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held.

I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked.

Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?
