Here’s the list of Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm.
For those confused about the lies this administration is telling now on the coming shutdown, let me get personal. I have been self-employed for decades and I have preexisting medical conditions. My only option for healthcare is through Obamacare. Without the subsidies that will be cut, I will be directly affected, and my health care costs will sky rocket. I am not an illegal immigrant; I am an American Citizen born and raised here. When @JDVance and others say this is only about healthcare for illegal immigrants, they are lying to you. I am a well known American Citizen who truly has no idea what he will do for healthcare next year.
Thank you to the Democrats who are fighting for Americans like me, like you, and like the many family members and friends that you love. Thank you to the Democratic leadership on this that tried everything to do this the right way and tried to meet with the President only to have him cancel.
I will figure out my personal situation and I am not looking for sympathy. I am truly worried about the millions of American citizens who are going to be devastated by this change.
This administration is working overtime to make America less healthy. Why?
Now, imagine if men’s healthcare rights were taken away, insurance companies quit covering their procedures, the government took away their research, and this were a room full of women having a meeting making more decisions about men’s healthcare.🤔
Yeah, that would go over like a lead balloon.
When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims.
Epstein’s victims haven't spoken for decades, but they will be speaking September 3rd.
Will you support them?

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
