"Take it or leave it." That's not how you run the government. That's not how you lead a country.

The Democrats have been in the halls of Congress working and waiting for Republicans to show up for 13 days.

All this to prevent the Epstein file release? Or not swear in Grijalva?

In 2013, back when Obama was president, Trump said the president is to blame if there is a government shutdown. So, by his own logic, he is to blame for the #RepublicanShutdown. His words! 👀

Trusting Republicans with our money is like hiring Epstein to be your babysitter!

Republicans canceled votes on the day that the federal government is shutting down. Millions of Americans will see their healthcare premiums skyrocket because of Republicans.

Democrats are here to work and get the job done.

Welcome to the #RepublicanShutdown.

This didn't seem to age too well. But we are unsurprised. RFK Jr apparently knows as much about international diplomacy as he does about medical science.

Elect clown, expect a circus.

When not only your presidency but your entire self-worth is based on appearances and not substance, is there any wonder they take umbridge with man that doesn't need a suit to lead his people?

Spending that one doesn't agree with doesn't constitute fraud or corruption. Unlawfully shutting down funding is however blatant corruption.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

This is not exaggeration. This is not an overreaction. We are watching the dismantling of our democracy as we speak. What are you prepared to do about it?

Both on a computer and in the most recent version of the app as well. We first noticed the problem yesterday.
