Why didn't you say why? Because Elon Musk, a billionaire on Trump's payroll, said not to fund the government and Trump obliged him. We're being run by an oligarchy. SAY THAT FOR CRIPES SAKE. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! PAINT THE GOP AS THE ENEMY HERE! Be stronger.
Stop negotiating with dishonest Republican criminals. The fascists all belong in JAIL - not Congress. Obstruct what you can, and get their unconditional surrender on DNC policy positions when it’s possible. Otherwise, speak truth to power.
Dems need to hold the line & not bail out the Republicans on this issue. Also, need to send a loud & strong message that Rs are creating this problem & half of America wanted this situation to happen. FAFO time is here and it needs to be said in this manner. No more being politically correct.
So since I haven’t had a hurricane, tornado, fire or flood, I’m okay? Thanks for the reassurance that the GOP gangsters and charlatans aren’t going to hurt me. /snark
Dems bringing norms and bipartisanship to hunger games 🤬
Get in front of all the networks and say this clearly every day that the government is shut down. Unelected billionaires should not have this kind of power!
“Wah-wah-wah, they broke a bipartisan agreement.” Name the problem! Trump and Musk are risking people’s lives to enrich themselves and their friends — and they’re not even in government yet. Say THAT. Stop with the politicking language. You’re persuading nobody unless you fight!
"President Musk has ordered Vice President Trump and the GOP Congressmen he bought to shut down the government, which means our troops won't get paid this Christmas."
That's how you communicate in 2024, but I'm sure the super old-ass people who run the Dem Party would find that offensive.
Shut it down!! Stop cleaning up their messes! They should have passed that relief b4 the hurricanes. Dems need to stop playing fix it! Let them live with the consequences of their own actions! Do NOT give any concessions!!
House Democrats are going to shrug their shoulders and talk about how much they look forward to reaching across the aisle and working with House Republicans, Trump, and Elon if they're ever gracious enough to let the government reopen.
Don't worry I am sure you'll get another chance to save Johnson's job AGAIN soon. Meanwhile, you don't deserve a raise. How comical & out of touch you believe you do.
The rest of the pork fest in the CR shows you don't give a damn about anyone but yourselves.
I'm sorry, but we're tired of hearing this complaint. Call me when you've made serious changes. Specifically, calling on your 67+ group to become mentors at 65 and retire already.
They're now bending their knees to PREZ MUSK. WHO LET THAT POS IN THE DOOR? He was NOT elected. Willfully ignorant and vile people voted for this insane incoming administration. They're too "low information" to follow anything but it will bite them in the butts big time.
Under the 14th Amendment, Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to serve as president, and any future budgets he may sign will not be constitutionally valid.
This is who 100% of the House GOP caucus are; MAGA Fascist Dictatorship Republicans. Please end the efforts to work with these corrupt terrorists in suits & business dresses. Let them do their damage & hurt Americans without any Democratic support, use this against them.
Here we go. This is what all you red hat fuck arounds voted for. Buckle up. And I hope those of us you’re dragging with you to find out get an apology at the end of this circus.
How about we get some leadership who aren't decaying husks on death's door running things then? Cause yall sure as hell fumbled your way into losing and aren't trying to fix yourselves.
I hope you do this every day. Every single day. On traditional media social media and anywhere they will listen. Break through the republican media wall. Start fighting back.
House democrats better get used to voting no on EVERY bill out forward by the republicans. If they vote for any bill it should be considered treason. Let the republicans go it alone. No democrat should offer any help. This includes bills, appointments, anything.
I’ve got to say I agree with you but hold very little confidence there is enough backbone in the entire caucus to accomplish this. And, it would take EVERY dem to hold the line.
We have to call! Flood their lines with angry voters ! We have to be noisy about everything we don’t like. We did not elect Leon! Let’s let them know it!
Stop getting mad and demanding that democrats who are in the minority do more. Channel your anger and frustration to the assholes who voted for Trump and have republicans the majority. Those who stayed home or screamed “genocide” ad nauseum are the reason we are here.
Elon Musk’s billions & Republicans seats in congress will not shield them for long from the rage of the American people. There will be a reckoning. Musk is high on his newly granted power right now but he will reap what he’s sown.
Don't let Trump squirm out of his responsibility for the coming debacle. Trump's likely to try to pin responsibility for it on Speaker Johnson or other House Rs just as he did when he torpedoed the Bipartisan Immigration Bill. Trump will applaud the result, but won't accept responsibility.
Could we please just jump to our South Korean moment before his inauguration? Time for our elected officials to act on behalf of the people instead of the incoming authoritarian regime.
Horrible Musk represents the interest of billionaires and huge corporations who don't want gov't helping middle class & poor (who need the help). Billionaires only want gov't helping them (who don't need the help)
The Dems could just stay and not let the fascists back into the House and Senate. Which would require them to recognize GOP as existential threats to the USA. Dems think they can cooperate with racist Nazis. That makes Dems a threat. Too much fucking around. Not enough finding out.

Just let Nancy roll him so she could put a bunch of fossils in leadership positions
Great example of non leadership
Most likely.
Do. Not. Surrender
When will you address this constitutional crisis?
being directed by Puppet President Elect Trump.
Take your pick: Trump and Musk are both private citizens 🤬
Fck everyone who didn’t vote for them bc of their personal grievances & racism. Enjoy the shutdown.
Please, please, someone in the Democratic Party get PISSED and channel that anger into action.
Yet, still no one's arresting Edolf.

Trump and Musk are going to hurt Americans, workers won’t get paid right before Christmas.
(Don't listen to Pelosi -- she's lost her touch.)
MAGATS will own this!!
Trump doesn’t seem like the one in charge.
Two, it’s the truth.

Maybe just have CJ Roberts meet Trump in the oval with a tv camera.
They want to keep acting like it’s business as normal.
If you’re outraged, take it to the streets
