VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS !

So many reasons ⬇️

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 10h

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

Nice to see Virginia and Maryland standing together on this.

Thank you , @repsuhas.bsky.social , @vanhollen.senate.gov and @beyer.house.gov for fighting to save jobs and health care.

VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS !

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam @repsuhas.bsky.social · 12h

Thank you to all the federal workers and contractors that stood up and spoke out with me and my colleagues today.

This administration and House Republicans are attacking our federal workforce, veterans, and countless families.

I will not stop fighting until we end this shutdown.

True for seniors, too. Vermont Blue Advantage ending the one Advantage coverage plan in 2026. Means that 20,000+ seniors who currently pay zero for healthcare coverage will pay minimally $600 plus another roughly $115 for Part D, deductibles and copays. Many can't afford.

We must protect OUR healthcare!

People should not have to make a choice between putting food on the table or healthcare.

Insurance premiums will rise to a cost most will not be able to afford.

What Adam said. 👇🏽

My son just had surgery, and for the first time ever, we had to depend on a GFM for his medical care.
Because Mike Johnson, Trump and maga MOC hate America and her citizens.
This is untenable and no way to live.

This is not a sitcom, it's real life...
REPUBLICANS HAVE
NO HEALTHCARE FOR YOU and they're laughing at our pain

What happens when Republicans shut down the government…

They break things. Take thing away. Fire fed employees simply because they’re Dems. Refuse to pay our military.

Literal party poopers…

Leader Jeffries heard my healthcare story the night of the State of the Union address .

He is fighting like he has heard a lot more healthcare stories since March 4, 2025.

Keep sharing your healthcare stories with all representatives Republican or Democrat.

I was honored to be a guest Tuesday night of my congressman @repsuhas.bsky.social .

The fact that he heard my voice and gave me the opportunity to share my family's story says so much about him as a representative.

NJ is experiencing flooding that could damage homes, businesses & beachfronts. Seems like a good time to remind folks that Jack Ciattarelli, Repub. running for Gov, previously voted against disaster relief.

Across New Jersey

A State of Emergency in reaction to a strong, dangerous storm has blanketed the Garden State since Saturday night. As the forecasted 60 mph wind gusts, coastal flooding and several inches of heavy rain encroach on the region, some towns are already feeling the impacts of the severe weather Sunday evening.

On Sunday morning, the National Weather service noted that confidence remained high for major coastal flooding and beach erosion that could be exacerbated by high tide, threatening buildings along the coast.

We need the CDC and the science .

🎃 This Halloween, the real horror? A future without trusted public health agencies. When the CDC and science are under attack, even the skeletons start protesting.

Trust science 🔬,
not scare ☠️ tactics.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 2d

That line, “there’s more that unites us than divides us,” can sound like a cliché. But right now, it hits.

All of us want affordable healthcare. Nobody can afford premiums that triple. Nobody wants to see service members standing in food pantry lines.

Party divides completely fade on these issues.

This unwell man, who was President of the United States, is trying to rewrite history.

Nice try, Don. Biden wasn’t president on January 6, 2021. I would say even his own voters can’t be this gullible, but…

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.
