The Senate is expected to vote today on the GOP’s cruel government funding proposal and Democrats’ alternative, which would protect our healthcare.

Real people are being hurt by President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and Leader Thune’s decision to shut the federal government down.

We’ve created go.md.gov/FederalShutdown to help direct impacted federal employees and contractors to resources available to them.

The federal government is shut down because Republicans insist on ripping away our healthcare and handing Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab.

Our job is to hold the GOP accountable and encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Senate Republicans just voted to shut down the government — blocking our bill to fund it responsibly, protect health care, and stop Trump from getting a blank check for his lawlessness.

They’d rather please their Dear Leader than deliver for the American people. Shameful.

Public pressure works. Bowing to bullies doesn’t.

Jimmy Kimmel’s return is a win — now Disney and ABC must stand firm in defending his First Amendment rights and those of every American.

When political power can silence speech, our democracy itself is at risk.

Did Donald Trump cancel Jimmy Kimmel?

We need a free press, not a few corporate media giants bowing down to Trump.

Graphic that reads: DID DONALD TRUMP CANCEL JIMMY KIMMEL?

After Colbert’s show was canceled, Trump posted that “next up” is Jimmy Kimmel.

Jimmy Kimmel is on ABC (owned by Disney). Some ABC stations are controlled by a media company called Nexstar.

Nexstar and Disney both need the Trump admin’s approval of 2 big business deals.

Talking about Kimmel and ABC, Trump’s FCC Chair said, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

ABC execs were reportedly "pissing themselves" over fear of Trump retaliation.

Nexstar announced it won’t carry Kimmel's show. ABC indefinitely canceled Kimmel’s show.

Trump called it “great news for America.”

If we don’t speak up, the regime will only become more emboldened to target comedy, opinions, and news they don’t like. None of us will be free to dissent. None of us will be able to speak our minds.

Having our government sanction the media and everything that we say is a full on five alarm fire.

The freedom of speech is sacrosanct.

It’s not partisan. It’s American.

Indivisible ❌👑 @indivisible.org · 19d

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney.

Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵
