OK. What happened today is not great. But take heart! Now we shift to plan B: asking D Senators to shut down Senate business.
This is a media relations game.
Senators: act like this is a crisis so the public sees that it is a crisis. Many voters are unaware of the damage Trump and Musk are doing.

Take it from people inside #NIH:
If we don’t shut the government down now and instead accept this horrible Republican CR, NIH will be dead.
Forget the budget, the study sections, the councils: Trump and Musk will just cancel your grants as they did to Columbia. 🧪

No votes for anything until the coup stops.
And object to unanimous consent every time, and demand quorums. A single Senator can bring the Senate to a halt — until Republicans want to change the Senate rules. Which they really don’t want to do. In the process Dems will show fight.
The fight itself improves the D party brand and increases electoral success.
Fight, Congressional Dems!
They do it anyway.
