I am so confused at people. Weren't you just showing how MTG was essentially lying about what her bill did? Did I misunderstand something? (I had assumed you voted No for it, so glad to know I wasn't wildly off the mark)

It was a first for me as well!

Pleasantly surprised by how many people turned out to #NoKings in Woodstock GA! The main street was packed! And even more folks were showing supporting from their cars!

Well that's terrifying. I've heard about/briefly read up on Palantir, and this is only going to go bad. This absolutely needs to be kept in the public's eye!

I haven't looked over the bill, but I really hope it was just a waste of time and money and not a way to sneak other legislation in

That's terrifying! Please stay safe! Everyone involved/with the coalition is incredibly brave, you ALL have my deepest respect! Please take care of yourselves!

This is both unsurprising and heartbreaking.

Now Democrats just have to do something with that win!

And if you don't shut it down they'll shut down the parts they don't want anyway. Use the leverage you have! Don't just hand it over! Be loud about why the shutdown is happening in public! Be louder than them! We need you to make noise now NOT sit in silence! "Do not go gentle into that good night"

The only reason it would be a distraction is cause you all aren't taking advantage of it to stop him! The Republicans in the senate are playing you, they've been playing Democrats in Congress for years. This was a rare moment where YOU had leverage, where YOU had something THEY wanted and you caved.
