I voted against today's flawed Continuing Resolution – here's why ⤵️

Fellow Coloradans, this is about the continuing resolution for funding. A vote for this is a vote for Trump's budget, slashing necessary funds from Medicaid and other programs. We need them to vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. John Hickenlooper: (303) 244-1628 Michael Bennet: (202) 224-5852

We've had our critiques of House Dems in recent days so I want to be really clear: they did their job! They held together to vote no! It was good! The Senate needs to follow their example! Call your Senator and tell them: stop the dirty CR. And call your House rep to thank them (not Jared Golden).

Greenland's election returned a resounding "GTFO" to Trump's plan of absorbing it into the United States, with the nation's pro-US party failing to win a single seat. The result comes as a shock to 100% of people named Donald Trump, but was expected by 100% of everyone else. #uspoli #greenland #us

When liberals adopt far right positions, it does not make them more attractive to the right, it instead communicates to the right that they were correct to support their far right candidates who haven't waffled on these issues like liberals

I know it is harder to build than to destroy but I think people are way overestimating the difficulty of spinning stuff back up, getting it done is more of a political problem not a logistical one.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

I will not vote to weaken my power to fight for WA state. I will not vote to turn YOUR taxpayer dollars into Trump & Elon's personal slush funds. I will vote NO. We should pass my short term CR, avoid a shutdown, and do our jobs.

The bill we will consider tonight is not a clean CR. Far from it. It's a laundry list of extreme priorities, and it freely hands even more unchecked power to Donald Trump and his unelected pet billionaire, Elon Musk. I will oppose it.

The bill the House is voting on today is House Republicans’ own doing—and it is a dumpster fire. So, I am sounding the alarm about this fire before it spreads. We can STILL pass my short-term CR and negotiate full year funding bills.

President Trump is illegally using ICE to silence dissent and is waging a war on the First Amendment. Mahmoud Khalil is a legal green card holder who was targeted for his activism. He is a political prisoner. I’m demanding his immediate release.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism. We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

Republicans just snuck a provision surrendering power to revoke Trump's tariffs into a procedural vote. All Dems opposed. Every Republican who voted for this will own the economic consequences of expanding Trump's tariff powers. Statement with @repdelbene.bsky.social: beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

He is lying. I was on Columbia's campus the day Johnson visited, April 24. The congressional delegation spoke from the steps of the Low Library, hundreds of feet from the pro-divestment encampment. No one could even hear Johnson– only press microphones. He was heckled. That's all.

Republicans’ spending bill includes a giant cut to rental assistance — which would mean 32,000 American families facing eviction. Democrats won’t be complicit as Republicans cut funding for programs people rely on, and we refuse to give Elon Musk a blank check to destroy America.
