Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

165 million Americans receive some kind of benefit.
Musk/doge/maga/trump want to steal it all and put it into crypto after they defanged the sec on crypto.
Trump coin is over 12 billion dollars
Corruption?
These programs saved lives, kept disease in check, and supported lots of farmers who will struggle now.
Do you believe in medical science?
He has talked about a crypto sovereign wealth fund, which is a little ridiculous considering how much debt the country has.
It’s just they can gut services, raise taxes on the poor lower them on the rich and do whatever.
i’m so done with most of the democrats
It's not black and white. There's a massive grey zone in there.

I do think they are trying to accelerate illegally firing a lot of good hard working federal employees for no goddamn reason. A shutdown identifies “nonessential” Feds to furlough. Herr Musk may use that as a pretext.
Not really a winning choice there.
There’s a reason they want to shut down so they can run further unabashed.
We need eyes and ears and documents, and OPEN government.
They love working in the shade with no one around.
NO
The Republicans could shut down the government all on their own if that's what they wanted. The idea that you're fighting them by voting alongside them is ludicrous.
Again I ask, how will they pay them?
Then we're f'd-T & his cronies will spend hour upon hour dissing/blaming DEMS.
They'll convince the nimble-minded that Trump's a genius all over again.
Message your Senator: Vote NO cloture on the CR - it's the big guns tool the minority has that really works! No cloture = no vote on the floor.

Greedflation, price gouging pre tariff, we are all struggling, we can’t afford homes bc private equity or short term rental owns them.
As Malcolm Reynolds said: “May have been the losing side; still not convinced it was the wrong one.”
Bernie would have won the election easily!
I AM ANTI CAPITALIST ANTI IMPERIALIST THIS IS A HUGE REASON WHY. ITS UNACCEPTABLE. NOBODY DESERVES THIS. NOBODY DESERVES A GOVERNMENT OF MILLIONAIRE'S OWNED BY BILLIONAIRES WHO DON'T BELIRVE IN ANYTHING NOT SPINELESS.PAID WELL TO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING VOTES

The Republicans aren't going to town hall meetings to hear the people who voted for them. We'll they can be voted out next term. They forget they work for the people.
It's Republicans who did this, Suzie.
Sure, ignore the 52 Republican senators and 220 Republican House members.
Chuck obviously is just cushy cozy in his spot. His coffers are padded and his n pockets must be full. He wants to hand Trump a victory to continue to grift from agencies?
No @senchuckschumer. Just NO

Like you, I’ll still vote Democrat until we have a better alternative. And we desperately need a better alternative.
I do think the Dems have the opportunity to appoint new leadership/course correct during this cycle. AOC being the obvious choice.
If not, I have to imagine there will be a huge swing to registered Independents.
It’s so disappointing.
Tariffs must stop and Musk must go.

And he threatened Ukraine and gave material support to Russia.
So we are going through the 3rd recession of my lifetime, it could be worse than 2008.
Why did people stay home?
☎️: (202) 224-4451 to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill.
Don't give up until the vote
It ain't over until...
Closing the gvmt gives Trump control of reopening ONLY what HE WANTS to reopen.
They are feeling the heat - let’s keep that fire burning.

You should have talked to Bernie. He understands how to listen to the people who elected him.
Schumer is throwing working class Americans under the bus.
He's no better than the worst of Trump/Musk propagandists.
He is not a very effective leader and should have surrender leadership! Bernie an Independent it would not be him!
His support for the continuing resolution has Only delayed the inevitable attempt for a fascist takeover by the Orange Child Molester declaring Marshall law!
Reps have the majority in the Senate.
Reps have the power in the White House.
Reps have the majority in the SCOTUS.
Reps boasted about their so called mandate.
Reps didn´t negotiate with Dems.
But somehow it´s Dems fault if gov. shuts down.
#DirtyCR
Dems say to citizens: it's a COUNTRY over PARTY moment. Then fucking make it about country over party.
#BernieSanders will, if we let him, set the stage for courageous & just leadership going forward
He's got the people behind him. It's the right thing to do. It's his moment
We need a mix: old, middle aged, young... who value working together because they all bring pieces of the puzzle.
I know I write very young, but I'm a 70 yr old grandmother😉
he's an old man planting trees in whose shade he will never sit.
the greeks thought this was height of civilized society. me too.
Same goes for Speaker of the House.
He stole Hilary Clinton's data, would not admit that he lost the primary. He sabotaged her in 2016 and didn't support Harris in 2024.
He cozied up to Elon to cut defense. I don't trust him.
The dems should be focused on the midterms. If they don’t win most states then, and Trump interferes with the 2028 election, it might be their last chance.
It's all about NOW. If they start thinking about their political prospects we're fucked. They have to be willing to lose and do the right thing... not act a coward and then declare yourself a winner
They all have what’s needed to be leaders of the party.
We can’t have appeasers in the 1933 of American fascism.
When we all could lose so much, and have so little.
We need a progressive democrat party, not #dietgop
personally, still not over Warren lying about Sanders in 2016, but okay.
love AOC but she is part of the movement, an important part, but isn't leading it. #BernieSanders is.
I think they both have a roll in opposing musk/doge/maga/trump.
It takes a lot to overcome a fascist takeover in the United States.
Really we have to be the opposition too.
We all have to vote if we can again in every race.
the ONLY person in congress with a lifetime of showing nothing but integrity and care for everyday american

🙏 Send a message like this:
VOTE NO on the Budget Continuing Resolution! VOTE NO on the CR! Schumer is wrong! If you vote Yes, I will never vote for or donate to you again. Democrats need leaders with energy to fight Trump. Norms are dead.
Gov’t shutdowns hurt families. Shutting this Gov’t down saves lives. It’s an easy choice to me, and it should be to every Dem; vote no. They cannot be allowed this win, because it doesn’t end here
Because all of the overtures to bipartisanship have failed, and the country is under attack.
Do something terrible.
sanders sounds like trump
Shut the government down

Today, whole different story. He caved. And it will cost us dearly.
Wrong man at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
The first negative out of hundreds.
That exact photo is all over social media.

Such a strange comment.
