Correct posture for Dems. This CR would let Trump continue dismantling our govt by refusing to spend appropriated funds as Congress intended. It also cedes Congress’s power to end the “border emergency” stopping Trump from unilaterally imposing trade tariffs, and ending his misguided trade war🤷🏻♂️
Mr Schumer is listening to you I have the following statement to make if he has to shut down the government. I have a HELoc. And if I have to borrow money because I don't get my social security checks I will. I know eventually that money will come. I hope most seniors do this.
Hold the line. Musk is an unauthorized billionaire who donated to a bunch of GOP - HE DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW, VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION, OR COMMIT TREASON.
And neither does ANYONE ELSE IN THE TRUMP REGIME.
The GOP, Musk, Trump, Vought, Johnson, Thune - they think we’re stupid…
@chuckschumer.com you better have your caucus in order. I will never give another dime until you all grow some balls and stand up for what is right. The Republicans would , (and frankly have)roll over you in a heartbeat. It’s time to get down and dirty.
The Republicans don't give a fuck about anything but their own money and power. They're just trying to protect their seats in Congress. We'll take care of that in the midterms. The maggots are enraged by what's going on with their money. Fools that fell for it are now thinking twice.
@schumer.senate.gov is a disgrace. He's only in the senate to profit off of insider trader. He's a poster child for the liberal weakness that gave up American democracy without a fight.
😂🤣😂 I really think they need regular folks writing for them. I'd be like seriously what's left to shutdown.Right now I'm trying not to have mee maw's bed, in assisted living, rolled out into the parking lot.While you guys want folks living in tents so you can give a billionaire another vacation home
Most people don't know that. Point is, as everything the GOP is doing ultimately will kill both, both need to be mentioned, in everything. Repetition and message discipline go hand in hand; Dems still largely haven't figured that out...
If the Democrats stand united & the government shuts down it won’t be for long because these bully MAGAS who can’t hold even a town hall DO NOT WANT to hear/see from any of their people! Democrats need to do this…

They better start messaging what this resolution is cutting out. Low info voters don’t care whether Democrats had input or not. All Schumer said is that he’s blocking it because it Dems were allowed to review and provide input. Who gives a shit! Tell me how the bill negatively impacts the voters!
Schumer made a deal with Thune to give up the 60-vote threshold in exchange for a vote on a Dem CR Schumer knows will fail, per TPM. CR passes with Schumer’s help. 🤬
2026- "Too Big To Rig": Reach out to the 99 million eligible voters who didn't participate in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and demonstrate that we ARE a 2/3 Majority who want democracy.
This was great! WHY isn't Rep John Larson on Bluesky??
Hello @housedemocrats.bsky.social ?? Someone get his team's attention & get an account on here!!
Imagine a s social security that is privatised. Will be run like another United health some Ai on end phone denying you cover oh and that's after you wait on phone for hours trying to get through say no to privatisation
In Australia large sections of our social security has been privatised it hasn't fixed it it has made it worse do we need accountability for the money that is given yes of course but each claim is a human story and to give it yo for profit institutions is wrong
Republicans want to give the appearance of NOT shutting down the government by passing this awful spending bill that would essentially allow Musk to continue shutting down the government.
unfortunately that’s not what’s happening here. despite the egregious gaslighting, this is schumer *supporting* bringing this abomination up for a vote that will prevail, probably 54-46. RIP United States of America (1776-2025)
exactly. he wants to give us the impression that they’re fighting, knowing full well he’s making the deal to lose. it’s wrong on multiple independent levels
The CR passed in the House had a lot of nonsense in it-- increased budget for ICE and to give Trump/Musk a blank check on other spending priorities, all the way through to Sept.
I'm not thrilled with a shorter CR that actually keeps current levels but it is miles better than the House bill
It means a bill that continues funding as is, not all the sinister concealment and changes GOP squeaked through. Their "clean" is very dirty. Dems are honest to save entitlements, etc.
I thought I saw him say he wouldn't take part in it, which made me think he must've flipped.
But Chuck did say "unified", not unanimous, political speak for the GOP doesn't have the 7 Dems they'd need.
It's hard to tell anymore but I think a few others posted that he still intends to vote for it. And he's so damned hardheaded I can't see him backing down.
If the Dems ramrod him through for the next election & don't primary him, they're handing the GOP a Senate seat. He ran the Sinema route even faster than she did going full turncoat almost immediately.
I'm pretty sure he's going to be primaried. I was a supporter of his before he ran for senate and later contributed to his campaign. To have him change so radically makes me think his stroke affected his brain. Whatever the reason, I'll never support him again.
Your caucus shouldn’t vote for cloture or the bill. Let them shut it all down and own it. They’re shutting everything down anyway you dipshit @schumer.senate.gov
To be clear, the "30-day CR" is a Dem amendment that only gets a vote IF the Dems allow cloture on the House-passed CR bill. When the amend. fails (Ds don't have the votes), the Senate passes the House CR version with 51 votes instead of 60.
GOOD! Time to show them the gloves are off and if they want to operate in good faith and stop screwing the American people over then you will come to the negotiating table! Bravo!!
Trumps disapproval rating on the economy is now 56%. Voters are FINALLY holding him accountable for it. If Dems vote no to the CR, Trump has a scapegoat for the disastrous economy and many will believe him. I know this is an unpopular opinion.

Stop the Coup.
It’s only fitting.
How much is being spent on these people cosplaying as parliamentarians?
@democrats.senate.gov Thank you.

Thank you for taking a stand.
And neither does ANYONE ELSE IN THE TRUMP REGIME.

If some dope like me can figure this out...
Not that it would matter, since there will never be elections.
Well Done

Let 'em have it, John Larson! Damn!
Support this guy, Connecticut!
The people in their districts have been speaking up, and this is the result of all that work.
Nothing else.
They are still the same empty suits.
I'm not thrilled with a shorter CR that actually keeps current levels but it is miles better than the House bill
Anyone/everything with this message. We have ONE day to keep them from cowering.
Fetterman will flip or something
Another massive tax breaks?
He is a multimillionaire
Of course he will vote for it (or at least send 10 dems to their death to do it instead)
But Chuck did say "unified", not unanimous, political speak for the GOP doesn't have the 7 Dems they'd need.
That should be the Dems message.
*Republicans* are enabling trump’s destruction of our 3 co-equal branch style of government.
Only *republicans* can stop their petulant child.
Until they stop him - the reality is that our government is already shut down.
Democrats do not give up and don't give in!
Let Republicans eat their own 💩 !
