Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

Trump and Musk are con men. Every time they want to distract us, they talk about Social Security. They are bluffing. They won't touch Social Security or Medicare. They will have trouble cutting medicaid bc of red states. If Dems shut down, Republicans will grow a spine over night.

Let MAGA republicans figure it out, if they shutdown the government so be it, let them burn. House Republicans 218 Democrats 214 Senate Republicans 53 Democrats 47

URGENT! CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS MORNING! ☎️ 202-224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!

You can be the one who shuts the government down, but if you’re a Democrat and you do it, you have given the republicans the winning campaign strategy for midterms. There will one campaign issue: Democrats shut the government down. Can we survive that claim? I don’t think so. Fight the smart fight.

I guess the real question is why did soo many magas in the house that normally vote to shut the government because a continuing resolution decided to keep the government open this time? Something very fishy about this bill. Normally ultra magas want the government to shut down somethings off...

Primary Schumer's ass!! So few chances we will ever get a leverage against them, the first chance we get and they just drop dead...the f*ck is wrong with them! Hopeless!!!! F*ckin hopeless!!!

If Dems put their fingerprint on a budget that Trump can then ignore, they are complicit in what comes next. Resistance does not mean “go along” then complain for months. Resistance means framing a strong alternative to Trumponomics.

When Bernie Sanders and Mark Warner are on the same page, willing to stand firm and Chuck Schumer is waffling, you know that the current Senate leadership is not a match for either the party or frankly, the moment.

I love Bernie and agree with him on most things, but Schumer made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.

Bernie has been saying that for decades. Probably since Yang was in middle school, if not earlier. Buttigieg has said similar, as has AOC. A lot of people have said that, not just Yang. The infighting is always part of our problem. We quibbled and quarreled to the point of two trump victories.

Bernie has to spread the word in the Senate...they have to start holding televised town halls in MAGA Districts. "Build it and they will come" should be their motto!

The world's people are sick of Musk. Along with Trump and Vance, the trio must rate amongst the most despised ever, simply for being complete assholes! Shows you don't have to be a murderous asshole, like Netanyahu or Putin, to be despised. Complicit will do!

understand, but Trump wants a shut down...but I don't want to slow down the courts, by a shut down...we are slow enough..fight till Nov. 26.

I agree with Bernie. Republicans have extremely disrupted our government agencies already. 2018 Republicans (House and Senate)shutdown the government for the longest time in USA history, 35 days. We must stand up and fight. Taking the high road Chuck S. doesn't work against these evil greedy times.

Why Hilary over him and Biden I'll never know.I voted for him both times to be our candidate.we really missed out because old white dudes on both sides decide everything,Bernie might be an old white dude in visual aspects but he's exactly what we needed nearly 10 years ago and even more so today

Any dem in the senate who votes yes tomorrow. Don't bother returning to your home state. you won't be welcome. And while your at it, stop going into work, if your not going to do your job, and uphold your oath, just step down now, so we can replace you with someone who will. Also fuck you.

Thank you @sanders.senate.gov !! Everyone, please call 202-224-3121 and talk with your Congresspeople and register your anger and insist that they fight for our democracy in our time of greatest need and vote NO on the fascist GOP CR! Make the GOP own the shutdown! Table of numbers also attached.

Don't forget to include members of the SPINELESS Russian Republican GOP Communist Party who could CARE LESS about the Working Middle Class and the Disadvantage Population, only cater to the Wealthy and Oligarchy Community. NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN
