Dear Leader is refusing to help hungry families buy food... and somehow that’s OUR fault because we were greedy enough to want to help Americans afford health care.
Heck yeah. Stand up. Fight back.
The only way out of this is to negotiate and we’ve been ready for a month. Stonewalling us just holds federal workers, our troops and hungry families hostage because Republicans don’t have a health care plan beyond “don’t be poor”

I’ve been in Congress for shutdowns before, but this one is different.
I’ve never witnessed a shutdown where the President of either party has told congressional leaders to not negotiate at all.
He's choosing to raise health care costs for millions of families.
Tweeting this when you haven’t come to work a single day since the shutdown started is really brave.
Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.
No, they don’t have to.

Make no mistake: Republicans would come back to DC in a nanosecond if ending the shutdown meant more tax breaks for billionaires, handouts to big banks, or giveaways to the insurance industry.
But some of us want to help regular, working people. I guess that’s a bridge too far.

Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to.
Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to.
The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.
23 years ago Minnesota lost one of its greatest champions.
I think about Paul Wellstone often, especially these last several months. He was a true fighter for Minnesotans.
“If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them.”
— Paul Wellstone
Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.
