Here's a key reason Senate Dems shouldn't vote for the CR: Trump and Musk are the ones who are *already* shutting down the government. That's the frame the public will use to understand what's happening.

An opposition party that never opposes when it matters
We need to drive home to the public that under Biden, the economy was good, and improving. Since Trump came back to power, he'd killing the economy, risking recession.
and reiterates that what they’ve attempted for 7 weeks is
UNLAWFUL
&
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Sorry I don’t have the full cite or links. I found the impact on post shutdown budget and staffing very troubling.

-Musk/Trump are already illegally shutting down critical government functions.
-It doesn't matter what is in the resolution - Musk/Trump will ignore the parts they don't like.
Same issue, not a half dozen.
One issue,
Removal of Musk, to save Social Security, to save the federal government.
Pick the issue and shove it down the CONs throats.
Any Democratic Senator who votes “Yes” should be primaried and replaced.

We also have the only "undecided" election left in the country because the R can't believe he lost the NC Supreme Court seat to a D.
So I can’t imagine them doing right by the country as a whole
Especially when 10 of them voted to censure Green who spoke to the face of fascism
“I hate America”.
While the Republican Party is on TV telling us how clever he is, and that we don’t understand his brilliance.
@raskin.house.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov for the love of God I hope one of your staffers read this
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

(Actually, I can believe it, unfortunately)
No votes for the Trump/Musk CR. Make the GOP own the shutdown!

NOTHING‼️😡
Absolutely!
Any who do vote for this get primaried.
As useless as boobs on a hog‼️(as my grandaddy would say🤨
2. Call your member of Congress if you want them to vote "no" (or "hell no!"). Pressure matters.
Don’t give them an INCH.
Ohio Republican voters will never wake up if you do.
They tell their aides to gaslight us.
