Just because they lifted the airspace closure at El Paso does not mean that nothing is going on. They just realized that declaring the closure was bad OPSEC. Shit is likely still going to happen. In Mexico.

Are you paying attention? MAGA Republicans are stealing from you! The vote to reopen the government includes a multi-million dollar payoff a QUID PRO QUO to 8 senator conspirators who colluded with Trump during the January 6th insurrection.

Today is Veterans Day. I just watched several movies about WWII and was reminded that our nation (and much of the world) was then united against fascism. As a veteran myself, I am proud of my predecessors who stood against fascists. Thanks to my fellow veterans who served and continue to serve!

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:
A graphic with a white and gray gradient background contains bold red text that reads:
“BELIEVING THE REPUBLICANS WHEN THEY ‘PROMISE’ A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE IS LIKE BELIEVING TRUMP WHEN HE SAID PROJECT 2025 WASN’T THE PLAN OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.”
At the bottom, it credits @kdnerak33.bsky.social, and in the corner is the logo BRIAN TYLER COHEN.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

Establishment Democrats have to go, even just for us to see what happens when we have real leadership That’s not working against the American people and with the obstructionist Republican side. Those who broke rank and voted with Republicans to end the Trump shut down have got to go expeditiously.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

@kaine.senate.gov As one of your constituents, a veteran, and a government contractor, I’m appalled that you have apparently capitulated to the Republicans without any meaningful gains re. SNAP and ACA. This is a slap in the face to those who have endured the shutdown hoping for positive changes.

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.
