Tell Chuck Schumer to grow a spine and hold the line…

There should be no deal that leaves working families behind.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Thank you to Rep. Yassamin Ansari for this act of total badassery—showing what real leadership looks like when others stay silent. Keep bringing the fire, the facts, and the fight. #GOPHealthCareShutdown

Republicans canceled votes the day the government shuts down. Healthcare costs for millions will soar, but Trump & the GOP would rather grandstand than govern.

Democrats are working. Why aren’t they? #GOPHealthCareShutdown

It's the great disconnect that CEOs get obscene wealth even when their companies falter while the average worker can have their life thrown into chaos as they suffer the consequences of bad management
Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

People aren’t “waiting out a shutdown.”
They’re waiting on biopsy results, insulin refills, cancer screenings, VA appointments, and surgeries.
This isn’t politics. It’s life and death.

Democrats actually care about our country and our people. Restoring ACA subsidies would actually help Republicans politically, but Dems are putting people and country over party
Leader Jeffries is spot on! Republicans, led by Trump, triggered this 37-day shutdown and haven't lifted a finger. While Dems are ready to work for the people, the GOP is clearly working for Trump.

A government that refuses to meet the basic needs of its people must be overturned.

Most shutdowns end because two sides who initially were unable to come to an agreement during negotiations finally compromised when the pain points hit and things got worked out.

But in this one, Trump ordered Republicans not to negotiate at all. That makes it hard to resolve.

There is some good news on the voting front today and it’s important news. It shows us that the courts can still lead, and the rule of law is not broken. No matter what Trump wants you to think. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Good News: A Court Rejects Trump's Effort To Suppress The Vote
In March, Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICAN ELECTIONS.” Predictably, it was designed to do anything but that.

Here is the ad Doug Ford spent $75 million airing a Reagan-themed “friends and allies” ad in the U.S.and it worked. Trump’s furious and just killed trade talks with Canada over this ad. Please keep this ad circulating! Thank you!
