How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Working rotational shift work without pay has been exhausting. Federal employees should not be pawns. However, exiting the longest shutdown in history for nothing is even more unacceptable. Shame on the elected leaders who don’t believe healthcare is worth taking a stand for.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Jamaica is responsible for less than 0.03% of global CO₂ emissions but faces almost unimaginable loss and damage in coming days at the hands of wealthy nations.
It's heartbreaking and utterly damning.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
