I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.

I asked Schumer about this last night and his answer was basically that they’re wrong.
The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR.
In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like?
Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days?
Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.
If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.
