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’s tariffs are putting Argentina FIRST & American farmers LAST.
Donald Trump is about to be the first president ever to stop federal food benefits from going out on time to people in need.
My full statement on this disgraceful & shocking news:
Inflation is up 3% over the past year. Because of Trump’s tariffs, working people are struggling to pay for food, housing, & healthcare. But don’t worry, his “main priority” is building his Temu Versailles ballroom.
He never was and never will be America First.
Our healthcare system isn’t broken, it’s rigged.
Let’s review what Republicans have “accomplished” —
Medicaid: ripping 150 million Americans off their health insurance.
Healthcare access: closing hundreds of rural hospitals.
Insurance premiums: exploding. About to double or worse.
You’re a failure.
Well this aged like a glass of milk.
Because of the shutdown, the U.S. Capitol Police aren’t getting paid. This morning, I joined with our House Democratic leaders to serve them breakfast, thank them for their service, and talk about how I’m working to reopen the government and fighting to keep costs down for folks across the country.
What a corrupt snowflake. He committed crimes, got caught, and now wants $230 million for his emotional damages—paid for by you, the taxpayers—because his feelings got hurt.
He’s turning the presidency into his own little piggy bank. It’s outrageous and disgraceful.
Americans across the political spectrum know it's well past time to make the rich pay their fair share.
We CAN fix income inequality in America, but Republicans choose to pad the pockets of their billionaire donors instead.
Millions of people peacefully protested this weekend.
Meanwhile, the guy who was just arrested for threatening to kill Democratic Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social was pardoned by Donald Trump after being part of a vicious mob that beat police officers on January 6th.
Wow. Hey Lazy Mike Johnson—even MTG says Republicans started this shutdown, and it’s on you to end it. You know you’re losing when you’re losing her.
Trump’s nominee brags about his “Nazi streak.” Young Republicans wrote “I love Hitler” in their group chat. A GOP congressional staffer hung a swastika in his cubicle.
And then Republican leaders have the audacity to say *Democrats* are the ones who hate America?
Trump gives billionaires huge tax breaks & bails out foreign governments while people can’t even afford to get to work. Tells you a lot about who he’s fighting for.
Hey Don the Con—you know who’s “fighting for their life?”
Single parents struggling to feed their kids. Seniors whose healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families who can’t afford to buy a home.
And yet you spend $40B of OUR MONEY to bail out Argentina? Sick.
America: Release the Epstein Files!!!
No one:
Literally no one:
Trump: Best I can do is release George Santos.
Even *the Trump administration* admits the Trump administration is driving food prices up. If you voted for him to lower inflation, it’s time to admit you got played.
Today I joined a local community meeting held by @senrobynkennedy.bsky.social & Worcester City Councilor @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social to discuss important issues that impact our city. Thank you to all who came for a great conversation!
