80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Kaine
Bad choice voting to hurt your constituents by destroying their healthcare

Caving to bullies is bad practice

Disappointing & stupid πŸ€›πŸ€›πŸΎπŸ€›πŸΏ

Kaine bit the bullet so you didn’t have to, eh Warner?

Both of you need to grow a pair or retire

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.

Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.

He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Chuck Schumer is doing this because he is sabotaging the emergence of a Democratic Party that actually promises real results for working people, in order to protect his phony job and his billionaire friends

TFG is responsible for the 2 longest government shutdowns in US history. TFG's approval is the lowest of any leader in US history. He is pressuring Congress and SCROTUS to deny SNAP benefits. They are upholding paychecks to Federal workers. US flights are being delayed or canceled . Happy Holidays!!

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

Yeah… Don’t forget… they cut SNAP in the Big Beautiful Bill…

This is obscene!!!

Trump throws another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago while thousands, including government workers, line up at food banks during the shutdownβ€” while he’s still fighting to block SNAP funding while kids go hungry.

Literally a tale of two Americas.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
