People easily forget that there are a bunch of people NOT making six figures who work for the federal government.
A shutdown means working class folks around the country will suddenly not have money for groceries, rent, and more RIGHT before Xmas.

This is an unprecedented, dangerous time for our democracy. Donald Trump’s actions as president and as a candidate demonstrate an unmistakable tendency toward authoritarian governance. We cannot remain silent as democratic norms are undone. 1/2 campaignlegal.org/update/cam…

"why isn't the media talking about this" have you tried going to a single news site, or do you get all your news from a social media algorithm

Everyone is tweeting ‘there’s an emergency, read local news, read local news.’
Y’all, you have to FINANCIALLY SUPPORT local news. You have to donate. You have to subscribe. You have to do it even when you think the reporting is mediocre and they publish op-eds you don’t like.

Redboxing is a ploy that openly flouts the campaign coordination ban, giving wealthy donors more influence while drowning out the voices of everyday Americans. That is why Congress needs to pass the Stop Illegal Campaign Coordination Act.

ALL of us benefit when disabled lawmakers can legislate based on lived experience. Our democracy is stronger when it is inclusive of Americans with disabilities.
An inclusive democracy is a strong democracy. Pass it on.

We may be a country that is bitterly divided politically, but those divisions do not justify these kinds of horrific acts of violence, no matter what. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by today's violence.
Aaron McKean retweeted
Campaign Legal Center condemns today’s shocking act of violence against former President Trump. Our democracy depends on every American rejecting all forms of political violence. Tragic events like today’s shooting in Pennsylvania should never happen – not now, not ever.
