The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Our statement on the anniversary of October 7 and the ongoing genocide in Gaza: indivisible.org/statements/i...

WE MOURN ALL VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, AND DEMAND JUSTICE AND PEACE.

Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific attacks of October 7th, we grieve for the victims and for all who lost loved ones. We continue to call for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. Violence against civilians is not and can never be justified.

Two years later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government has weaponized that tragedy to carry out a campaign of collective punishment -a genocide -against the people of Gaza. The ongoing siege of Gaza City has trapped civilians in rubble and dire hunger. Roads have been blocked, hospitals destroyed, and food and medicine restricted to a trickle. This is not defense. It is annihilation.

The deliberate destruction of Gaza is a moral catastrophe - one happening on our dime. The United States continues to supply weapons and political cover to Netanyahu's government. That complicity must end.

We refuse the false choice between condemning an horrific attack and condemning genocide. We can - and must - do both. True justice means no double standards. It recognizes the equal value of every life. It is a commitment to protecting every civilian, rejecting collective punishment, and demanding accountability for every crime committed.

On this anniversary, we remember every innocent life lost - Israeli and Palestinian alike. We mourn all victims of violence, and demand justice and peace. Real safety will never come from mass killing or collective punishment. It comes from equality, accountability, and humanity.

Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter.

More votes are expected today, and your senators need to hear from you. Encourage Democrats to keep fighting: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

bangs.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building.

"They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."
