Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov for working everyday to protect healthcare and for calling it for what it is a Republican Shutdown.

Where are the Republicans ?

They are on vacation and refusing to meet with democrats to work this out.

The whole point of a national government is to scale up the stuff we cannot do locally or through private institutions. Religious orgs, neighborhoods, & food banks aren't enough. This is why we pay taxes, to redistribute resources to meet basic needs that keep society viable.

SNAP benefits aren't only for those who need them. When a person or family uses them, they help grocery markets, supply chain, and the economy.

Monthly is averages $8.3 billion and yearly $99.8 billion in revenue lost.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

I know these β€œinterviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to β€œread the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do whenβ€”as is so often the case these daysβ€”there’s no opinion to read…

Charlie Kirk was a private citizen

Melissa Hortman was a seated lawmaker in MN

No Flags were flown half staff at the WH for her death by gun violence

The boat full of civilians Donald Trump mass murdered in the Caribbean had already turned around by the time the US decided to kill them.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% β€” please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

At least 2 students shot at high school in Colorado, authorities say At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.
