Tonight was a very bad night.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

@texaspaul.bsky.social Just joined and happy to find you here. Paul, your show on Sun was the most cogent and introspective commentary on the election that I saw all week. You were right, the time for mourning has passed. It is time to go to war.
