The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

Eight years before Brown v. Board of Education, there was Mendez v. Westminster. In that case, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the segregation of Mexican Americans in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment. /1

A Washington Post poll on Thursday found that 47% of respondents were blaming Trump and the GOP compared with just 30% blaming Democrats. Our messaging is working, keep it up! #MAGAShutdown

This is absolutely disgusting. The GOP lied to everyone and they all voted for this.

Watch ICE illegally arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.

@ossoff.senate.gov on rural hospital closures: “We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Every community—rural, suburban, urban, Black, white, rich, poor—deserves world-class healthcare. That’s the bare minimum.” His #CupOfJoe is full of the humanity we need.

Republicans can keep blaming Democrats, but the country understands this is on them‼️

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for these very important posts about the higher cost of healthcare from the Republican Big Ugly Bill

These cruel Medicaid cuts are all part of Trump's Shutdown

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

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

And we know who was President the last time the government shut down.

And it was one of the longest shutdowns in history.

Mike Johnson swore in newly elected Republicans earlier this year when the House wasn’t fully in session.

But now he’s refusing to do the same for Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

We are very likely headed for a shutdown next week 🚨

Below is an explanation on how and why this may happen..#politics

When I read comments to posts discussing Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris or Democrats it astonishes me how many people are CIVICALLY ILLITERATE.

This is also why we lose elections. People are purposely clueless.

Shut it down! Let them own it. They said they don’t need Democrats so let them prove it.

Jen and I are keeping Grand Blanc in our hearts today. Churches must always be places of safety and strength — an attack harming one community of faith is an attack on us all. California stands with Michigan and the Latter-day Saints community.

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

Portlanders: In a few hours, we’re gathering for a peaceful demonstration on the waterfront.

They do not have enough popular support.

So they are trying to outlaw / silence opposition.

And that’s where we are.

Pushing back has never mattered more.
