Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

Platner is a former Blackwater mercenary, opposes gun control and dog whistles "The working class abandoned the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party abandoned the working class.” He has no government experience, no college degree, no leadership experience. He's not Senate material

She doesn't need to speak to "the masses". She only needs to speak to Maine voters, who have elected her governor twice.

My NH senators: Shaheen is retiring. Hassan is a young 67 and does an excellent job. Notably, Shaheen was governor of NH for three terms, and Hassan was governor for two terms. Older candidates often come with great experience.

There’s more of us than there are of them. They can’t control us. They can’t stop us from voicing our dissent. Thugs and thuggery is not a winning future, even if they think so. See you at No Kings.
