Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.

I'm going to make so many calls this week I hope my phone burns its circuits out because it got so hot. Consider doing the same. Have a sensible "script" written out...so you make sense, but do it while you're pissed off. It feels better, and the person taking your message WILL feel your intensity.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.
Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself.
Americans will not forget.

My State Senator distributed copies of the Ten Commandments to classrooms. I want to know who paid for them, but he won’t respond to my requests for info. I asked 3 times. The Sec of State says they can’t help me (under the Public Information Act). What should be my next step?

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.
