Democrats made a fair and reasonable offer. Republicans only want to starve us into submission

Democrats made their offer to reopen government by extending ACA subsidies for a year. GOP liars shot it down. GOP liars will now use withhold food and medical care mostly on their supporters as leverage. Remember that when you vote. Food lines akin to the Great Depression are here. This is #MAGA!

Ironic isn’t it. All the money coming into the US from tariffs goes to big corporations not us. We just pay higher prices

I thought that we had tens or even hundreds of trillions of dollars from high taxes errr tariffs and business deals coming into the US Treasury and that the USA has never been richer, but we cannot fund SNAP, healthcare and pay workers? But we can give $20 billion to Argentina?

Republicans are liars and they only care about out republicans and no one else.As for the ballroom, we don’t need a ballroom. We need to reopen the government and feed the poor

Doesn’t the GOP liars’ behavior remind us of the 1790's "Let them eat cake" era in France? We all know the well deserved outcome of that era. Or how Nero fiddled while Rome burned? He partied while his people suffered enormously. No wonder they destroyed the WH for a ballroom.

“Swiss execs met with Trump to discuss tariffs and allegedly gave him a Rolex and an engraved gold bar. The delegation included Rolex CEO Dufour.”

Trump’s tariffs on Swiss dairy exports have led to a dramatic oversupply of milk. Farmers are weighing culling herds to stabilize the market.

DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein Files Are Even Worse for Trump Details in the files are reportedly even more damning for Donald Trump than previously indicated—and it was already bad.

A few conservative reps with ties to the FBI & the DOJ have spilled that the true details of the Epstein files are “worse” for Trump than previously reported.

The rumor has dredged up far more support, with “more than 100 Republicans” planning to vote alongside Democrats.

U.S. steps up presence in Gaza to support fragile ceasefire The move relegates Israel to a secondary role in determining how and what humanitarian relief can enter Gaza, according to people familiar with the transition.

“The U.S. military-led ‘coordination center’ charged with implementing President Donald Trump’s peace plan in Gaza is replacing Israel as the overseer of humanitarian aid to the enclave…”

Republicans don’t want reasonable offers. They want to make democrats look bad.

SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:

Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care

"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

Verdict Number One: America Has Big-Time Buyer’s Remorse About Trump Elections are the one opportunity we have to see what the people think. And what they think is clear: Trump sucks.

He won because people hate Trump & what he’s doing to this country. Let’s not lose sight of what is obviously & toweringly takeaway #1: Americans have developed a big-time case of buyer’s remorse about Trump, and a very solid majority of them despise what Trump has perpetrated against America.

I was carried into the gas chamber.
