Hope Swalwell doesn’t let them Lucy he & the rest of the Dems with these behind the scenes whispers meant to get Dems to agree to the Wimpy promise “for a hamburger today, I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday”

Let Rep Lawler know REPUBLICANS can sign off on their own CR:

1) Republicans are the majority
2) Republicans can end the filibuster
3) Republicans can vote for their CR & end the shutdown

Ask him why REPUBLICANS are afraid to own the consequences of THEIR bill

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

People, mostly White people:

never learned or forgot that voting is about harm reduction

never learned or forgot that democracy is a lifetime commitment

are privilege blind & refuse to see their own actions = upholding White supremacy

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Senate Rs are the majority & can confirm nominees during the shutdown but they they can’t pass a CR to end the shutdown?

End the filibuster and pass your CR, Republicans!

Bunch of 🐔🐔 don’t want to take responsibility for the harm it will cause

It should be but it’s not. Too many people, supposedly Dems, get offended, angry, double down, and repost it more. It’s weird and infuriating.

Anyway, thanks again for being you!

Most plans begin open enrollment on Nov 1. This needs to be fixed NOW!

Democrats are rejecting a 7 week “band-aid” that delays a fix because waiting means 20M face higher premiums & 15M cut off Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

It’s abt the pic going around of a stolen a frame from a father fake arresting his son people are claiming is an image from 🧊raids in Chicago. Frustrating to see Dems & other thinking people use propaganda, excuse themselves for it and get angry when it’s pointed out.

Thanks for not doing that!👏

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids.

Americans MUST speak up now to save this country.

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Pages are disappearing, statements are being “archived,” and it’s clear they’re trying to clean up the mess he left behind.

This is the same guy who funneled public dollars like a political slush fund, pushed PragerU propaganda into classrooms, and tried to turn public schools into pulpits.
