Day 3 of no @quantumfiber Internet. If anyone is thinking about signing up for them here in #Seattle I would suggest not doing it. Their wires are down in my neighbors yard and kids are playing with them but they won't send anyone out until next Friday.

Holy crap @quantumfiber service is ABYSMAL. We have no Internet and they can't schedule a tech for over a week to look at the issue. Supervisor did nothing. Guess it's time to call Comcast.

Neighbor said he's without service too. Told him what @quantumfiber said the tech ETA was. He's probably switching to Xfinity too.

Democrats, this is not the moment to find excuses to vote for massive cuts to vital programs. It’s the moment to put up a fight.
The stopgap funding bill has a clause that prevents members of Congress from bringing up a resolution on Trump's declaration of a national emergency over fentanyl and undocumented immigrants. Trump is using these powers to justify tariffs on allies. How can Dems support this?

Glad to see @PattyMurray coming out against it here in WA. No idea where @MariaCantwell stands since she's been radio silent. If @SenSchumer goes along with this then the Dems really need to consider ousting him #NoConfidence cc @AOC

This CR would literally take food out of the mouths of hungry children, take healthcare away from seniors, and give a huge tax break to the wealthiest people on the planet. It cannot pass. teapaw.org/i/broadcasts/1MnGnworn…

I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill.
Those games won’t fool anyone. It won’t trick voters, it won’t trick House members. People will not forget it.

Republicans are CLAPPING and CHEERING Trump's Tariffs.
Trump's Tariffs are a Trump TAX on YOU.
When prices skyrocket, remember that Republicans cheered for higher prices.

Well, it's Tuesday, and Trump has plunged the entire continent into a senseless trade war between close allies for no coherent reason.
Make no mistake: these tariffs are a Trump Tax on everything YOU purchase.
A true economic disaster—and it's genuinely all Trump's fault.
Welp, that's it. TikTok is offline in the US. I don't want to turn this political, but alas, I think if Trump does end up coming through and "saving" TikTok then this will spell trouble for the Democrats for the next few election cycles.

The scary part of all of this is that I am in agreement with @RandPaul and @RealCandaceO on their viewpoints. This is the perfect example of government overreach.

A thread: The Democrats had a better candidate, but the Republicans ran a better campaign. The Democrats made this a single voter issue: access to reproductive health. That's important, but American families are struggling with access to food, shelter and the basic necessities.

People do not like Donald Trump as a person, but they felt better when he was in office. It's as simple as that.
