I could not care less what Tim Kaine, traitor, wanted/s.
Dem Sen. Tim Kaine wanted a “moratorium on mischief” from the Trump administration in return for his vote to end the shutdown. He didn't get it until Sunday night.

Even if you, somehow, become one of the 1% paying your fair share of taxes won't change your life but it would change the lives of the 99%.

The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.

I love how some of the responses to the calling churches for baby formula TikTok lady is people saying with a straight face, 'well, you have to be careful because grifters'.

You think grifters ask for a single small can of baby formula?

You think Jesus would ask for proof of poverty?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Either he can’t keep them in line or he orchestrated and approved this. The result is the same: he has to go. He should’ve been gone months ago.
Chuck Schumer must be replaced as leader since he cannot keep his caucus in line.
America is in the midst of a Republican-made health care crisis—a crisis so severe, so urgent, and so devastating for American families that I cannot support a continuing resolution that fails to address it.

I am voting NO.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"
