The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpShutUSDown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good.

Republicans & Trump are 100% responsible if the government shuts down today.

DO NOT fall for MAGAs lies.

Does anyone remember this? I certainly do.
Hold Trump accountable for a shutdown.
Those are his words😉

SenatorWarnock just broke it down: health care is on the line.

A Chatham County family once paid $559/month for coverage—now it’s $2,100 after GOP subsidy cuts. Quadruple the cost just to stay insured.

Trump’s shutdown is abuse of power. Democrats’ CR reins him in: blocks his budget games, ends DHS slush funds, restores ACA subsidies, funds PBS, and installs oversight.

Congress protects people, Trump protects himself.

Rep. Greg Casar: “There are more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans here in Washington D.C. today.”

Casar is on 🔥 and this is exactly the call-out we need.

While 750,000 federal workers go unpaid and moms lose WIC, Trump’s out cheating at golf—on our dime. Families are rationing formula while he’s working on his handicap.

The only thing he’s leading in is hypocrisy. ⛳️

Judges are supposed to be fair and impartial, right? Especially the Supreme Court! But this podcast opened my eyes to some concerning actions from current Justices. Give it a listen. We can shine a light on these things and demand an ethical court! social.redwine.blue/s/Tras8KWf

Senator Warren is right. Republicans should come back to DC and do their jobs. Because if these subsidies don’t get extended it’s their constituents who will be hurt the most.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

A YES vote means California will temporarily use new Congressional maps drawn by Democratic state officials to elect Congressional reps in 2026, 28, & 30.

It isn’t just about maps.
Your vote determines who acts on your behalf in 2026 & beyond.

Trump Administration Poised to Cut SSI Benefits for Nearly 400,000 Low-Income Disabled and Older People | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

The average annual savings from these benefit cuts would barely pay for a single day of the massive tax cuts for the wealthy that are part of the Republican megabill enacted in July.

A “YES” vote on CA Prop 50 empowers YOU to decide who represents your community in Congress.

It isn’t just about maps, it’s about real voices, real neighborhoods, real representation.
Your vote determines who acts on your behalf in 2026 & beyond.
