Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now.

This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country.

So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

Apparently the price of eggs and high rent + a woman president was reason enough for some to stay home or vote for Trump instead. 🙄

📌Millions of us saw this Trump disaster coming, and warned about it. SCREAMED ABOUT IT.
I just can't stand the grotesque people who let this happen.

Insanity.

What family could possibly afford this?!

So glad that Democrats are fighting this and drawing attention to this.

And the fact that this is from Mark Warner - Senator from Virginia where the shutdown impact will be felt the most - is notable.

Meredith Lee Hill on Twitter: “Speaker Johnson's leadership team has said privately they will swear in Grijalva right before first votes when House returns But they're still deciding whether to bring back the House at all next week amid the shutdown They were admittedly over-confident after 3 Senate Dems initially voted for the CR - expecting Thune would pick up more this week He did not.

Thank you to everyone who is taking action and encouraging your Dem senators to keep fighting to safeguard healthcare for millions. Let’s keep it going: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...
