“Everyone remembers the poopy lettuce, right?” Symone D. Sanders Townsend says she thinks too many people have forgotten about the last government shutdown and the halt it put on so many industries as well as leaving thousands of people without pay for 35 days.

“Even after the cameras go away, the trauma doesn’t. It stays with you. It stays with these communities.” David Hogg 🟧 shares why the Office of Gun Violence Prevention is necessary as gun violence is one of the leading causes of death for children and teens in the U.S.

“We’ve been willing. It’s really only this far-right House Republican Minority that has been holding things up.” Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon says the “chaos caucus” is keeping the rest of Congress from stopping a government shutdown and that Democrats are ready to step up.

"What Matt Gaetz wants to do is keep this small sliver of a majority so he maintains this semblance of power that he has to keep things hostage." - Maura Gillespie

Was just on Yasmin Vossoughian Reports. On Matt Gaetz: It’s like a bad episode of Veep where he’s the Jonah Ryan of the US Congress. On the Budget: We’ve got 45 days to fund Ukraine or Putin wins. We need real immigration reform/border security. We can do both w/ a bipartisan budget deal

“The fact that you’ve got members of the congressional progressive caucus out here on the record vigorously saying that they will support a motion to vacate does make it a little complicated.” Symone D. Sanders Townsend on potential vote to oust Speaker McCarthy.
