Just trying to stay connected & informed...although my feed is making me reconsider this opinion. Not a bot.

Uneducated voters pose a greater risk to this nation than undocumented immigrants ever will.

we could've stopped this shit 13 months ago but you fucking idiots didn't like her laugh

.@SenatorLujan on a USDA plan: “Why would this magically disappear from the website, and why is Speaker Johnson lying to the American people, saying, 'Oh, the law does not allow for this to happen'? It’s bullshit. I’ll say it."

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?"

"No on 50" Chair @millanpatterson: "No."

"It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide. So I think it's interesting that you have all of these Republicans suddenly having their come to Jesus moment on redistricting-- only because it's happening in California."

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP.

That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.

And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry.

Enough.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Earlier this year, two Republicans were sworn in less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 16 days since @AdelitaForAZ won her race.

@SpeakerJohnson, swear her in.

[Acyn @Acyn]

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

The last two Government shutdowns happened under Trump with Republicans holding a majority in the House and Senate.

January 2018: 3 days
December 2018- January 2019: 35 days

Republicans do not know how to govern yet you keep electing them. Makes no sense.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

REMINDER: Republicans control the House, Senate and White House.

If the government shuts down because they refuse to pass a bipartisan spending bill, it will be on Republicans.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

It’s so wild that the guy who was only elected because of inflation just imposed the biggest sales tax of our lifetime

Incredible hubris and stupidity

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dear Democrats,

Have the courage to shut it all down.

Don't talk about it, don't threaten it, DO IT.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

So much for "drain the swamp."

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

On the debt ceiling, it's worth noting that one-quarter of the federal debt, from the founding of the Republic to 2021, was accumulated during the first administration of Donald J. Trump.

[Tara Setmayer 🌻 🇺🇸 @TaraSetmayer]

The 75 million who voted for Kamala
Harris. 🤨

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

House Republican Caucus in action.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Republicans are trying to shut down the government because they want to set up massive tax cuts for the rich next year while cutting Social Security and Medicare.

They know Americans don’t support that, so they’re holding the entire government hostage to try to force it.

No.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Maybe it’s just me, but Republicans having two daddies seems kind of woke,
