Denounce the 3 Senate Democrats Caving to Trump

This morning, the federal government shut down because Donald Trump and his Republican allies manufactured a crisis. Instead of passing a fair funding bill, they demanded deep cuts to essential programs — and three Senate Democrats, Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman, and Angus King, crossed the line to back Trump’s reckless scheme.

Now millions of people are paying the price. Federal workers are going without pay. Families are uncertain if they will receive nutrition assistance. Veterans worry their benefits could be disrupted. Housing programs and climate initiatives are in jeopardy. All of this chaos is the result of Trump’s deliberate decision to use people’s lives as bargaining chips. And by siding with him, these Democrats gave legitimacy to a political stunt that endangers our democracy.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s goal is not compromise. His goal is dismantling protections for working families while rewarding corporations and billionaires. Every Democrat who enables him sends the dangerous message that Trump’s hostage-taking can work.

This moment calls for unity and courage, not betrayal. Americans deserve leaders who will protect jobs, defend healthcare, and ensure basic government functions are not turned into pawns for Trump’s agenda. Instead, these three senators chose to stand with Trump over the people they represent. That choice cannot go unanswered.

Our movement must hold them accountable. By speaking out now, we remind every elected Democrat that the cost of siding with Trump is too high. If we are loud enough, we can push party leaders to confront this betrayal, and we can make clear to voters that we will not accept politicians who abandon our communities in moments of crisis.

Together, we can send a message: caving to Trump is unacceptable. Not now, not ever. Sign now to demand accountability and show that our movement will not back down.
