Weโ€™re 36 days into the longest shutdown in American history.

All it would take to end this shutdown is for Republicans to agree to extend ACA tax credits, something that would directly help millions of Americans.

Itโ€™s way past time to get to the negotiating table and end this.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... ๐ŸŒŠ

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itโ€™s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weโ€™ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

While Trump and the GOP are throwing lavish parties and sending billions to other countries, Americans are ready for leaders who listen, who care, and who know what itโ€™s like to work hard to put food on the table and care for their families.

This Election Day, Americans will vote for those leaders.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people โ€” a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I know the world wonโ€™t care because itโ€™s not some EVIL thing Trump just did, but yesterday I marathon streamed for 11 hours and raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they say will provide 100,000 meals for people in need.
