@SenatorDurbin All I've heard is that Trump and Musk would've done more harm if the government shutdown happened. HOW EXACTLY?? Under what law? We've never heard of the Executive going around Congress during a shutdown before, SO EXPLAIN THE HOW BEHIND YOUR VOTE, DICK! #FightBackOrQuit #Fascism

[Claude Parker @ClaudeP65994331]

The country is already in chaos and Trump is doing everything you just stated and more. By you saying yes to this CR just indicates that you and the other nine Democratic senators are not interested in fighting. I don’t think you and the other nine senators know what the opposition party is! But protesters will help you understand.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Traitor?

Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Elon Musk is spreading a lie that Dems use Social Security & Medicare to pay undocumented immigrants to come into the country.

It's just lie after lie with these people.

Immigrants are NOT the problem. Greedy rich assholes are.

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

The richest man in the world called Social Security a Ponzi scheme. Now, he's pushing to take away our seniors' benefits that they have EARNED through a lifetime of hard work.

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Dr. Oz refuses to commit to opposing cuts to Medicaid when asked a "yes or no" question by Senator Ron Wyden. This is an alarming non-answer. Make sure everyone sees this.

@SenRubenGallego As a veteran and defender of American democracy and freedom around the world, I thank you for your NO votes on the Republicans indefensible slush fund power grab bill for Orange Hitler and Nazi Elon. Sadly, your leader and 9 others lacked the spine to do the same. #AmericaVsTrump

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

Senator Schumer has served our nation well, but it's time for a new generation of leadership in the U.S. Senate. He is up for re-election in 2028.

RETWEET if you would support @AOC for the U.S. Senate in 2028!

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Senator Mark Kelly is getting rid of his Tesla, saying, “I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole.”

This comes just days after Elon Musk called the astronaut and decorated veteran a “traitor” for supporting Ukraine.

Read this thread and understand that while folks are trying to play games with trash polls… the only poll that matters is November 5th. So let’s win that poll!

Thanks @SimonWDC and @tbonier for your work calling out the fraudsters.

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

Friends, a reminder of how important it is to #VoteEarly. When you vote early you come off campaign GOTV roles, allowing campaigns to target lower propensity voters faster. That grows our vote, increases turnout and makes it more likely we win. Voting early helps us win!

Moderator: Just to clarify, Springfield’s Haitian migrants have legal status

Vance: The rules were you guys weren't going to fact check

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

Questions not asked:
- Should Trump go to jail for his 34 felony convictions?
- What do Usha, Vivek, Ewan, Mirabel think of your demonizing legal immigrants to US like their parents and grandparents?
- Should Putin be hung as the Nazis were for his genocidal crimes? 3/

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

- Trump plan would result in higher inflation, slower growth and higher than deficits than Harris
- Mass deportations would lead to unprecedented workers shortages, devastate rural economies across US
- Trump has sexually assaulted women, now his policies are killing them 2/

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

Retroactive fact-check:
- The economy collapsed under Trump. We had net job loss, higher deficits, more uninsured
- There was unprecedented political violence, an armed insurrection, an attempt to overturn our democracy, more crime
- More gas/oil/renewables produced today 1/

FWIW, testing suggests this is an effective ad.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

From The Boss. He put it perfectly. Thank you Bruce Springsteen.

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

Another smokin' jobs report! America is better off today due to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, far far better off.

"There were numerous instances where I had the head of government agencies calling me saying, 'Can you maybe get the vice president to weigh in on this because it’s still sitting on [Trump’s] desk and he hasn’t approved it yet.'"
