Democrats must not cave in to Trump | Bernie Sanders

The government shutdown is not an accident. Trump's budget would push millions into poverty and must be stopped

Democrats in the US Senate must stand with the working families of our country and in opposition to Donald Trump's authoritarianism. They must not cave in to the president's attacks on the working class during this ongoing government shutdown. If they do, the consequences will be catastrophic for our country.

This may be the most consequential moment in American history since the civil war. We have a megalomaniacal president who, consumed by his quest for more and more power, is undermining our constitution and the rule of law. Further, we have an administration that is waging war against the working class of our country and our most vulnerable people.
