I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.

And make health insurance affordable.

The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.

I'm voting no.

Sanders: Letโ€™s be clearโ€ฆ If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiumsโ€ฆ if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

As I've always said,ย I will not support a government funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of myย state.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

No.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of womenโ€™s lives and we arenโ€™t having it.

F the patriarchy.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

We already know what makes our communities safer, and it's not troops on our streets.

It's giving people accessible housing, food, employment, health care, and education opportunities.

So, to clarify a point not made directly but is obvious - a BLACK woman is fighting for a rapid response in order to get 42 million Americans, including 16 million kids, the funds they need to eat.

Is that clear enough, MAGA?

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didnโ€™t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances
