Instead of coming to the table to work on a deal that centers the American people, Speaker Johnson canceled votes AGAIN this week.

I stand ready to get to work to lower costs and protect healthcare – just waiting on you, Mr. Speaker.

@barackobama.bsky.social:
California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

In honor of Charlie Kirk, the alleged free speech champion, Trump's State Department has revoked the visas of foreign individuals who made critical, disparaging comments after his assassination.

What weak, pathetic snowflakes and hypocrites.

Fragile, porcelain tea cups.

Why in the world has Speaker Johnson sent the House on a four-week VACATION while millions of people are about to get kicked off their health care? @repemilyrandall.bsky.social and I could not answer that if we tried.

MSNBC EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi reacts to Speaker Mike Johnson saying he doesn't "have anything to negotiate" during the government shutdown.

"They do have a strategy, and that is to give tax breaks to the richest people in America at the expense of America's working families."

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

THIS ⬇️

I've never seen a time when we are facing a true crisis, and the president & GOP leaders won't even TALK to Democrats about a solution.

Republicans can end this shutdown TODAY if they work with Democrats to reopen the government and keep health care costs from skyrocketing.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 1d

4/ Ok, so then the obvious next step is to negotiate a compromise. That's how we've always avoided shutdowns. And Republicans need to convene those talks, bc they're in charge.

But here's the kicker - Trump is telling them to BOYCOTT NEGOTIATING. And they are following orders.
