WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE!?
Where is Congress? Where are they?
I want to film this for my kids & my grandkids. I want them to see the day democracy died in Washington, D.C.
Even George is upset 🦮
& we should all be shocked!
No one is here to say this is wrong!
I was born here.

Manhattan Home Depot turned into a protest zone—inside and out. Activists buy and return ice scrapers in a peaceful but brilliant jam of business operations. Creative disruption with a message: get ICE out. This is what smart, sustained pressure looks like.

*Mikie* got my vote, no regrets
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

I left a message with your office @booker.senate.gov Do not cave!
Tell your senators, DO NOT vote to reopen the government UNLESS we get an ironclad guarantee of restored ACA subsidies!
Call your Senators folks. Even if they are a Republican and definitely if they are a Democrat.

Do not cave, @booker.senate.gov!
Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but “normies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.
At this point, it’s clear that the Hamburglar, Dr Evil, and Sideshow Bob are advising Chuck Schumer.
