Mamdani’s got it. “Trump and republicans in congress shut down the federal government.”

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 10d

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

The shutdown is not the fault of democrats. Republicans can vote to fund the government without a single democrat by changing the rules to lower the 60 vote threshold like they did two weeks ago to push through 48 trump appointees at once. 10/

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 10d

BREAKING: Democrats vote down a GOP bill to keep the government open, putting it on track for shutdown after midnight.

Senate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government, putting it on a path to a shutdown after midnight Wednesday.

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings or dictators. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings !
