Essentially it is this, yes.

Jason Kander posts:
“Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.
Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify #DontStreamFascism #StopICEAds

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. app.sosha.ai/s/uovM9OVr

EJ, you aren’t wrong. But that fact doesn’t help THESE H1B workers or their families right now. I wish you could speak directly to these people we know personally and ask them what they need. Talking about how things should be doesn’t protect these 6 families now.

For those who have inquired, our newest baby, Clover is thriving. Also, don’t you love her pretty bow? Ready for her close-up, Mr, DeMille

EJ, two things can be true at the same time. These particular employees are not being exploited. And they are terrified of being deported and unable to have anywhere to go. Let’s celebrate the people like my spouse who are doing good. Not lump them together with people trying to exploit them.

Melissa Mulvaney @melissamulvaney.bsky.social · Sep 21

Fair enough. But my spouse is not responsible for those decisions. He is responsible for the H1B visa employees who report to him. Let’s not conflate those who are trying to help with those who are trying to harm.

Imagine what would happen if Repugs grew spines and started working to reclaim some respect. That would be powerful. I’m so tired of their craven BS.

In my experience, with salaried H1B visa employees (who also receive the same benefits as citizen employees), the company hires them because they are more qualified and skilled than American candidates. Not everyone is out to exploit their workers.

Melissa Mulvaney @melissamulvaney.bsky.social · Sep 21

If these particular workers were exploited, they wouldn’t be salaried with benefits and a boss willing call everyone he knows on a Saturday to go to the mattresses for them. These are human beings with feelings and families. He can’t change the system, but he is willing to fight for them.

This will directly impact 6 of my spouse’s workers. There are not qualified Americans to do these jobs. This hurts business, it hurts our country, and it hurts people with families.

After driving 8 hours from ATL to STL, I adopted our new baby. Her name is “Clover”because it’s nearly St. Patrick’s Day, and we feel especially lucky. Our 3rd adoption from a fabulous rescue here, and we feel our angel babies approve.

Thanks to foster mom Linda for doing such a wonderful job.🥰
