To those few who spend your days reply-guying things that you think are clever, tearing down anything Dems say or do, maybe go to a protest or organize something. Just go do something useful. You are spending too much time online. There are constructive things you could be doing. Just sayin’.

Chuck Schumer says “no f*cking way” to #Trump and the #Republicans trying to take away your health care.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 3d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Today a judge said what has been clear from the beginning: the evidence shows the Trump Admin is vindictively punishing Mr. Abrego Garcia for having the audacity to pursue his due process rights.

Those rights MUST be upheld. This is not about one man — it’s about ALL our rights.

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

The answer to this inanity is not to cower in fear, but to stand up, speak out, and call BS on this administration’s own Anti-American behavior. In real life, not just on social media.
