Stop Trump’s ransom demands.
Republicans have shut down the government — and Donald Trump is pushing for cuts to health care and vital services. Democrats must hold firm and refuse ransom demands.
When we flood the Senate with messages, Democrats negotiate from a position of strength. Public pressure stiffens spines in the room and makes clear that any bad deal will be held to account.
We’re demanding the Senate pass a measure to reopen government, protect Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, and reverse Medicaid cuts — not concede to extremist cuts.
The damage grows by the hour: furloughed workers, stalled small-business loans and housing approvals, courts warning of curtailed operations, and longer delays for Social Security customers. This is deliberate chaos—with working families on the hook.
Votes could come any day. We need action now. Tell Senate Democrats to hold the line and reopen government without caving to Trump’s demands.
Thanks,
Mary
