We have a few thoughts to share about the government shutdown:

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump is bailing out global investors in Argentina while cutting health care for millions of Americans at home.

[Congressman Greg Landsman @RepGregLandsman]

The federal government will run out of money on March 14. Republicans, who control Congress and thus decide whether the government shuts down, will bring to the floor tomorrow arguably one of the worst budget bills ever.

Let me break it down for you, and share where I'm at.

Short answer? I’m a hard no on this bill.

Long answer 🧵👇🏻

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."

What’s a podcast these days? “Let’s call it ‘new broadcast,’” said @ajfeliciano at @onairfest’s business summit. I like it.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality, Republicans in Congress just introduced a budget to provide trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy, paid for by massive cuts to Medicaid that will throw millions of kids off health care & seniors out of nursing homes.

Unacceptable.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

If Donald Trump and Elon Musk get to pick and choose who gets funding, they could target your kid’s elementary school. They could stop repairs on the road you take to work. They could zero in on your grandpa’s Social Security check. I won’t stop fighting against their power grab.

Listen to this incredible podcast by @DanielGAlarcon and the @serial team at the @nytimes. THE GOOD WHALE is a profound, moving, and eye-opening examination of what happened to Keiko, the star of “Free Willy,” and how humans tried to help and free him. Did they succeed? #whales
