Slava Ukraini
UKRAINE is UKRAINE

10/ One day pro-Ukraine sanctions, the next day retreat. We’ve seen this before - envoys arriving in Kyiv pushing exploitative deals that look more like colonial extraction than partnership. But here’s the key point:
The plan is irrelevant.

6/ It includes lines about the US getting more money while Europe pays for everything. A diplomatic insult, and some European politicians already said as much. Zelensky made his answer clear today: Ukraine cannot accept this plan.

6. Trump could end this today.

He could call on congressional Republicans right now to reopen the government.

Get people in a room. Stay there until a deal is done. Reopen the government and protect healthcare.

5. Every day this shutdown goes on, it gets more painful for people.

1.4 million Americans missed paychecks last month – air traffic controllers, Social Security staff, IRS employees.

If Congress doesn’t act by November 15, that’s another missed paycheck.

4. They’re helping the super-wealthy – not you.

Trump is building a ballroom funded by billionaires and wants to send $40 billion to his buddy in Argentina.

At the same time, he won’t fully fund food assistance or extend tax credits that make healthcare affordable.

3. The Speaker has kept the House out of session for six weeks:
➡️ No votes
➡️ No hearings
➡️ Refuses to swear in a new member who could force a vote on the Epstein files

2. How we got here:

Republicans wanted a short-term bill to keep the government open until November 21.

Democrats said fine – but only if you extend the healthcare tax credits 24 million Americans rely on.

Trump told them not to work with us. Now we’re in day 36 of a shutdown.

1. This is a fight over healthcare.

At the end of the year, if Congress doesn’t act, 24 million Americans will see their healthcare costs skyrocket – on average doubling every month.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue to fight to reopen the government so Americans don’t go hungry and receive their full SNAP assistance.
