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 · 6d

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 · 7d

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.

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.

It’s a vicious cycle: Trump creates the problem, and then fumbles the solution.

But America’s farmers don’t want a handout, they want to sell their crops for decent prices and receive their fertilizer on time.

If Trump really wanted to help farmers, he’d end his useless trade war.

Trump: "We’ve made so much money on Tariffs, that we are going to take a small portion of that money, and help our Farmers."

The Soybean Farmers of our Country are being hurt because China is, for “negotiating” reasons only, not buying. We’ve made so much money on Tariffs, that we are going to take a small portion of that money, and help our Farmers. I WILL NEVER LET OUR FARMERS DOWN! Sleepy Joe Biden didn’t enforce our Agreement with China, where they were going to purchase Billions of Dollars of our Farm Product, but Soybeans, in particular. It’s all going to work out very well. I LOVE OUR PATRIOTS, AND EVERY FARMER IS EXACTLY THAT! I’ll be meeting with President Xi, of China, in four weeks, and Soybeans will be a major topic of discussion. MAKE SOYBEANS, AND OTHER ROW CROPS, GREAT AGAIN!

I am deeply saddened by the terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

Yom Kippur is the most sacred day of the year for the Jewish people. For such violence to occur is a grave tragedy that shows that the blight of antisemitism continues.

May the memories of those lost be a blessing.
