This is proof to me that it’s a wealth vs the rest of us situation. I can’t believe I have grown to detest wealth but the examples of it have been deplorable, completely sickening!

Agreed. The country needs real change for all the people. This isn't the time for shirts vs skins- it's time for we the people vs the skinheads.

We’re all outraged this weekend. #resist or become an #asskicker at Bluestreetbrand.com (part of proceeds go to Sandy Hook Promise) #schumer #senatedems #aoc

You are 100% correct!

Jasmine Crocket gave a football analogy like AOC, receiver, someone as QB and so on maybe the strongest communicator should strong arm the weakest 10 (who voted for republicans CR) into stepping down

NO. THIS IS THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES WITH A POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF BEING RULED BY AN AUTHORITARIAN. WE GOT WHERE WE ARE BY PETTY GREIVANCES AND ARROGANCE. OUR DIVISION IS THEIR GREATEST WEAPON. THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE DEMOCRACY IS THROUGH UNITY. TOO BAD WE'RE DEMOCRATS. THAT'S NOT OUR STRONG POINT.

This is real patriots vs. turncoat traitors.

I’ve been called a “neoliberal”, “corporate Democrat” and (my favorite) “shitlib”. But progressives were right on the CR. Schumer et al are amoral collaborators - and he should resign It was political malpractice that bungled the chance to pin more chaos on the GOP No collaboration with fascism!

We can't be worried about left or right anymore. We need to focus on stopping the oligarchy and backing people that are making the best decisions that halt the spread of this insanity. Schumer failed. Those of us that want to live in a functioning democracy need to stick together and #resist.

Moderate, left of center voter here. I personally think that too many conflate screaming and stomping with leadership. Having said that, I’m furious with the avalanche of ignorance and mendacity we are facing. I’d encourage you to consider significant political office in 2026 or 2028.

I am a lifelong Dem and I will say that in an environment ripe for Dems to win over voters who may not have been in their camp over the last 30 years, they will (and have) threaded the needle on screwing up this opportunity.

AOC is an absolute force. She and Adam both have displayed the grit, eloquence and fire we need to see in our future leaders. Seeing the 2 of them (along with Mayor Pete, Crockett and Walz) would be a dream.

Sounds good to me and I'm a boomer!!!!!

No Schumer!

They are weak and pointless, not even a real opposition party.

Accurate. I'm quite left but I'd be thrilled to have a John McCain type conservative right now and still at least have a country.

Europe and Germany like this man very much!

Congratulations on doing a terrific job of distracting us while the last of the hostages are killed. Never saw you mention them once. Everything you do is still inline with the GOP.

That would be a ticket to consider Adam & AOC?

But the Kinzingers still believe and parrot that the AOCs are "too radical." At this point, it feels like they don't actually listen to what she says and are just repeating this lie that's been perpetrated.

Apparently, the gop has behind the scenes strategists giving them their marching orders & they have a lot more unity than dems. This is about as far from what the founding fathers had in mind as it can get. It has been a gov entirely for & by business owners & influence, never, ever The People.

Adam, thank you for the Illinois State Redbirds shoutout today on CNN. Brought a big smile to my face! Thank you for all that you do for our country.

It's become pretty clear that the democrats are a bunch of spineless wimps who are more worried about lining their own pockets and preserving their political reputation among corporations and other politicians than saving their country from a supremacist cult.

Trump is not the main problem. The 77 million base voters is the problem. The dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible evangelical white nationalists is the problem. The anti-abortion anti-gay anti-immigration etc., is the problem. Jim Crow 2.0 voting laws is the problem Anti-science problem.

Right thing to do = correct thing to do

This is the key thing that DNC leadership is missing. The anger isn’t coming from a fringe element in the party, it’s everyone who hasn’t bought into the maga cult. Dems stand at a crux in history and have the potential to bring together a powerful political force if they have the will to do so

👏👏👏👏

Just like anyone with an affliction, we need to take a good, honest look at ourselves. Hard to do, because we fear what might be looking back at us, but it's necessary to do. Acknowledging the problem is the first step to solving it... Excerpt from the series 2028: Part 2 -Battle for the Future

This is what Resistance looks like. #Resist

Pretty sure he's a Dino. I saw the pictures of him and trump. Fuck that. Primary

Senate Dems are like cancer patients who are too scared to start chemotherapy

It’s about integrity and courage. It’s about honesty vs. lies. It’s about agency and leadership. It’s about knowing when to step back and when to step up.

Why is one party in Congress being tasked with singlehandedly stopping Trump? Why not the military? More than one general has literally declared him to be a fascist.

IMHO it's the moderates who should be more upset, by caving democrats empower far left because they end up being the only real opposition. That's what happened in Trump 1.0 and it was a disaster on state & local level & resulted in moderates taking wildly left positions that sunk em (hint KHarris)

💙

It is the SANE right, middle and left against Trump and the tech fascists.

Chuck would have voted to extend Slavery so he could have more time to think about whether Slavery was morally right or wrong eeeeeeessh

Yes. Voters of both parties are angry and scared about what IS ACTUALLY happening. When Schumer caves to what is, basically saying if I don't cave it might, could, maybe, perchance, conceivably be worse it is beyond terrible messaging & just seems lazy & you want to go sell your book. Terrible.

The current Democratic party is woefully unprepared for this moment. Schumer & co are still expecting bipartisanship from people who praised Trump for pardoning those who tried to murder them on J6.

🤞🏿

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social You gonna run to replace Durbin? I’m a life long Democrat and am disgusted that he caved. I would vote for you, but it may not matter if we don’t have elections.

It is the Ides of March 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Afterwards we had a social gathering. Since Rep Troy Nehls is too chicken to hold a #TownHall his opponent Marquette Greene-Scott did instead. Next action: a proper Town Hall for TX-22 with Marquette as speaker if Troy doesn’t.

Correct thank you we all need to stand up for our freedoms, democracy and country

I agree. This really isn't a Dems vs Rep thing. I hate Trump/Vance/Musk...I don't "hate" most of the Republicans. I could've lived with Chris Cheistie, Nikki Haley or even Mitt Romney, and I loved John McCain. This isn't about parties anymore...it truly is GOOD VS EVIL

Yes, we are!!

To me, this is all about people who value freedom, justice, and the rule of law and those who do not.

Well said. We can disagree about policy later. If we don't fix this soon right versus left versus middle won't matter at all.

That's what they've been doing for a long time. I'm in my 40s and have been classified as radical left because I got pissed off at Citizens United long before most people had even heard of it. Because I knew it would lead to this.

I think the left is fighting, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren are the loudest voices fighting back against Trump's stupidity. The problem is people like Schumer and Fetterman who are pretty centrist

There's a time for negotiators and compromising. This is not one of those times. It is time for brawlers.

America needs a new Party, a brand new party- not for Republican traitors, not for Democrat wusses, but one brand new party for civil patriots and law abiding people! A new party now ready for ‘26 and ‘28! Do it now or will be all lost and America no more!

❤️ I think the rich might be an acquired taste, tofu-ish, we’ll need spices and sauce! My momma’s a Cajun, no worries, we got this!

I was onboard until Bernie started with the switch from Democrat to Independent, but keep sending me donations and voting for me. Also, Eric Swalwell and Martin O’Malley are here in Florida, doing the work to take back the House, instead of holding oligarch rallies that make people feel good and

Unless you’re one of the terrible ten that capitulated.

We actually need to identify GOP members who are likely to flip & target them.

I grew up a Clinton Democrat. I was as moderate a Dem as you can get. It’s not a matter of how left-of-center you are anymore. The litmus is now are you a fascist or not.

Agreed

Yup

Yes, we are! It’s ALL OUR fight!

They sold us out… I want this country saved! My son is 15, his grandfather was Marine. He loves studying history like I do, and my Dad did. How do we save the Constitution when neither party sees the threat we’re under?! My child was heartbroken yesterday and asked, “now what do we do?”

Where are the Dems in EVERY precinct in the country holding rallies in their districts? Where are the senators going on TV, on YouTube on every SOCMED platform denouncing this republican shit show? Crickets.

Ehh we haven’t been “the middle” since 2016. Your point still stands though

Entire GOP refuses to fight (except you and Cheney). Looks like Democrats are starting to throw in the towel too. It will take the people to save us.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social you should have received my letter by now.

Agree.

There is no more left and right fighting each others now. It is sanity against insanity, morality against immorality, democracy against tyranny. If we can save America from dictatorship and morons ruling then there will be plenty of time and most important ability to battle around ideas.

No we are not... It is a left vs others thing...

We might be more outraged, no one seems to care about us.

What would have happened if the government had shut down?

The People's Party

Precisely. This isn't some nuanced tax discussion. Do we participate in Donald Trump's unconstitutional destruction of our society? Yes or no

EXACTLY

Mr Adam, it’s time for you to run for congress or senate as independent, we need you.

Those that can't see the fight for democracy from dictatorship by now can't see. At all.

They are taking lessons from European dictators and they don't realize, this is America. We will fight back and don't bow down to Kings.

i am just surprised a whole party, GOP, decided a tyranny under Putin was better than a flawed democracy.

After seeing how many people voted for Donald Trump, I'm starting to think a LOT of children actually did get left behind.

The choice in America is MAGA fascism or not. Until that question is solved, policy and ideology nuance is irrelevant and everyone in the opposition need to be absolutely united.

I’m a staunch Independent who believes in voting for whom I feel works in our best interests….Donald Trump was and is blatantly laying out and enacting what is dangerous for Americans.

💯💯💯

Can you please just run for office again? I'll he honest I don't agree with everything you post, but I appreciate most things you do and you seem like a genuinely decent human being. If we're going to insist on sticking with this 2 party system we need decent people like you and AOC.

Lmao idk where your lookin bout how about you go walk into town and have an actual conversation with Americans see how they feel look at unbiased statistics they show the democrats are losing n losing bad no one likes yall you ruined it a long time and yall just keep digging your graves deeper

No Shit 🤣😂😡🧐🧐.They are trying to reach their readers? 🙄

That is what got Trump elected. Check out @casten.house.gov

Agreed 💯

Adam, as a Canadian looking in, you have been an absolute BEACON of light for democracy and the rule of law. You clearly love your country, have NOT forgotten your oath to the constitution, and are putting it ALL on the line. Thank you for all you are doing - it echoes around the world.

It also comes down to having a moral compass!

When will our Democrat Senators learn? Fight for us. We are losing our country agency by agency.

So what would be your exit strategy from a shutdown? You’re negotiating with zero leverage. Get real Adam and focus your energy on the Midterms.

Can the Senate elect a new Minority Leader while Schumer is on his book tour?

No matter what, Trump will continue to harm America and make it an easy target. At this point,it's about nowlt showing our belly or baring our throat. It's about providing we will fight with our last breath, for our democracy.

Do you see this?

I am a fiscally conservative, socially progressive independent… so I don’t know where I fall in the left-right spectrum… but I am LIVID that they did not fight for us yesterday. Those 10 Senators absolutely DISTROYED my faith in our political system.

We are in complete shock and tbh sick to our stomachs! What have those spineless fools done. Hassan and Shaheen out my senators! We’ve written to them our disgust! Another vote for “get rid of Shumer”

For all the Dems coming out and saying “Don’t be mad at us. Republicans put us between a rock and a hard place. Blame them” Fuck right off. We understood the situation and we do blame them,but the capitulation and being unwilling to fight has weakened your party and you are to blame for that.

Interesting that the Democratic field leading up to the 2020 primary thought the population wanted a liberal candidate (Biden the closest to the center one). For the 2028 primaries, the population will vote mostly for the strongest fighter. We are getting ready to elect the Democratic tea party.

That’s exactly right.

It's a big tent of anti authoritarianism.

Are you ever going to run for President? I’m a moderate and would vote for you in a heartbeat.

I have tremendous respect for what Adam is doing now, but I do wonder if he reflects upon his role in getting us here. It's been death by a thousand cuts for decades.

Yes vote legitimized corruption. We cannot negotiate with liars. Stop trying. Start fighting. Stopped shutdown won’t stop destruction by Corrupt Exec branch & complicit GOP. We the People must now relentlessly demand complicit Republicans resign now so a new Congressperson can fight for us.

I would have liked to have been in the room to see what exactly was discussed. I keep looking at Virginia with Warner’s election coming up in ‘26. I suspect two others Sens took Kane and Warners’s keep-open votes so they look stronger but still have their gov constituency still working.

It’s time to DOGE members of Congress!

Oh Adam, I know you would have secretly rejoiced at the democrats shutting down the government. So sorry to disappoint you. Guess you were disappointed to wake up this morning and find that some folks still had their jobs so they could buy food, meds, gas, and other unnecessary items. Right???
