Yes! Thank you Ben and MeidasTouch for speaking up and taking a stand on this💪🏼.. Democrats need to unite in all out defiance.. Use the little leverage we have!! Buck up Chuck! @meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social - ThreadSky

It’s not a matter of a spine. He’s right. A shutdown will give Trump and Musk just what they want. Shuttered government And it will take attention off Trump’s failing economy.

The problem is that this clique of liars is likely to dismantle the American society even faster with a shutdown. Especially as the majority of Americans remain stupid ignoramuses capable of voting for the worst felon in the world if he tells them what they want to hear.
