Coons: "I'm gonna vote against what came over from the House Republicans to the Senate last night because I don't want to give my vote to support what Trump and Musk are doing."

Any Democrat who votes for the CR is a fool. Trump will continue to withhold appropriations passed by Congress and will not release funds for Department of Education, Infrastructure Development, Medicaid or anything else that Democrats support. Your vote is enabling his ignoring Congress.
Fetterman is a dirty class traitor. The common man image with the sweatshirt was marketing. We need to take note of who is standing up for us and throw some money at them to amplify their voices. Drown out the scum with OUR message.
Democrats should hold steadfast and not pass a budget bill that does not help the American people . I’m tired of the republican narrative that this is for the American people. It’s for the American Billionaires and Elon Musk
What Trump is doing is either putting in other Russian Agents into key positions (like Tulsi Gabbard being DNI) or weak sycophants into key positions (like Hegseth) who will do whatever he tells them (which is the equivalent of being a Russian Asset)
Half the government is shut down already. I call on ALL Senators to resist the coup w/ everything they’ve got. No cloture! No to the CR! Save us!

Thank you Senator Coons. It is no longer about shutting down the government... that's what they are effectively doing anyway!
Hopefully, Dems will be out in full force fighting back on the "Dems did this" messaging if govt does shut down.
If you are a constituent of Coons, please call him and thank him. Keep his spine, stiff! Have him talk to his colleagues! It’s really important we are thanking Senators who are doing the right thing.

NO long term extension without saving Medicaid, forcing testimony from Elon and transparency of DOGE, congressional oversight of his actions, and compliance with all court orders to resume funding!! Lives are at stake!
Just called my two Democratic senators and told them that as their constituent, I fully expected them to vote NO on the CR. Also told them to get Minority leader Schumer on board and every other Democratic Senator on board . Start calling NOW!
More of this! All Dems! Sane republicans/independents too if there are any! They will be celebrated if they just resist along with us! We can’t do it alone!
Protect Medicaid! Do not pass the CR!
Vote NO on cloture AND
Vote NO on the bill!
Thank you.
Thank you @coons.senate.gov
Please convince the others that that is the RIGHT thing to do!

If the Dems vote for this CR, then they might as well pack-up and all go home, close the doors to the DNC, lock the doors and throw away the key, because nobody will need to go back inside, the Democratic party will be dead!
@raskin.house.gov is asking us to fill out Freedom of Info Act on yourselfA court found DOGE is a govt dept now So U HAVE RIGHT 2 FIND OUT WHAT DOGE IS DOING W YOUR DATA. Your digital data is worth more THAN GOLD! Find out what elon is doing! Plz repost https://jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-act-requests/
I’m not sure what I’m going to hear. I’m happy there telling us they’re not supporting the bill but I wish there was more conviction. The voice inside my head says “ duh! Tell me what you’re planning to do to stop this train wreck!”
3/12 -9am - call the senate NOW.
Hi, my name is [], I am a resident of [] county and I am calling to encourage senator [] to vote no on cloture and vote no on the Republican spending bill. we don't need to help the republicans destroy our country.

Coons is against it, that’s big. I don’t expect much from Fetterman, but the rest of the caucus should not have trouble voting against it. I’m calling Booker and Kim to urge them to vote no.
I'm concerned that if it fails it'll be blamed completely on democrats. And we will have no ground. However it's a shit bill and giving Republicans a win should be a definite no.
T-Rump is going to destroy the US Auto market. We do not produce enough steel or aluminum to meet production requirements. And he has yet to announce tariffs on Far East vehicles and parts for the foreign assembly factories in the US.
GOOD JOB DEMOCRACTS! YOUR CONSTITUENTS AGREE! STAY UNITED! BOTH REPUBLICANS & DEMOCRATS WILL SUPPORT YOU IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES! DO NOT BLINK! TRUMP (MUSK), & THE HOUSE & SENATE REPUBLICANS, ARE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHIT SHOW. TRUMP IS DAMAGING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, DEMOCRACY & RULE OF LAW.
Not to mention our reputation & relationships with other countries/entities. Also, destroying the world by giving Ru$$ia more power & leverage against 🇺🇦 AND crashing the stock market, not only putting US markets at risk, but crashing markets worldwide.
So, #JohnFetterman I tried to call your DC office today and no one would pick up. Hiding? Americans do NOT want you to support the dirty CR. A shutdown is less a travesty than losing Medicaid, medicare, and social security! We didn’t vote for this!
I’m all for it! Unfortunately, for too many Americans it ain’t a problem unless it affects them. Until they feel the impact of the shit show the GOP is calling reform they’re not gonna care. Wait until the cuts hit WV & KY.
And the rest of the “RED” states.
And they will. Much too late, of course. And when they try to blame Democrats, which they will, they need to be reminded what party voted for the cuts and which party allowed Elon free range to cut essential services.
Yeah, now I hope they can now try to pound. Some sense into MAGA worshipping Dems like #JohnFetterman who I believe didn’t even take the time to read the dam details, but will vote for it to appease his MAGA handlers.

Agree, our government has already been shut down by Trump/Musk/Republicans.
This is really the only thing Dems have any control over...if only they are brave enough (shouldn't even be about bravery, simply doing the right thing to save democracy)
It did something- or he is who he’s always been but the risk was tamped down because the DNC or whoever, saw him as the best chance to win a seat in a red state.
More Perfect Union did a piece of Stephen Schwarzman, Trump, and carried interest. Schumer screwed us over and allowed carried interest to continue, enabling hedge funds and investors to become ultra wealthy, buy up industries and create political candidates. Schumer is a rat.
New CNN poll: 57% of Americans say Trump DOES NOT have the right priorities! They do not support what Musk and Trump are doing. Every Dem Senator must vote NO!
Ok I am good with that. However, unless some Republicans agree that there needs to be changes, not passing the cr results in: shutdown, dems caving, passing same cr, and no back pay for those who get furloughed during shutdown.
#Fetterman isn't just drinking the koolaid, he's eating the new #trumplard sandwich . When you vote against everything you ran on & ignore what your constituents ask of you does that make you a #POS or a #POS?
@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @gallego.senate.gov my guys! Please lead with Coons. This is it; dont get scared now. We need you to reinforce our values as your constituents. Constitutional governance is the bedrock of our entire society. The CR further validates unconstitutional methods.
It not clear from that whether he will vote for cloture, which is what matters.
If Coons is voting against cloture then that’s probably the ballgame, bc he’s one of the least aggressive Dems (although that does seem to be changing)
Why don’t they say they are voting against the bill because it is cruel and non- sustainable? That’s the better argument if you want moderate Republicans to understand!
😡 Trump has single handedly Instigated a major U.S. Recession!
He will sit on his Fat Ass eating chocolate cake and getting higher Cooter Brown ❄️💉 in Mar Lago, while regular Americans suffer!
Fn Satanists!
We need to go to Mar Lago!
So, let's see if I have this right. They've fired thousands of fed workers as in no longer paying them. But they need to budget more money to keep going....hmmmm

Follow suit all other democrats in the senate.
This is the way.
Please ensure that nothing passes without guaranteed military support for Ukraine (specific dollars and timeframes) and intelligence support.
Trump and Elon clearly work for Putin, and we cannot allow Putin to take over a democratic ally of the US (Ukraine)
What Trump is doing is either putting in other Russian Agents into key positions (like Tulsi Gabbard being DNI) or weak sycophants into key positions (like Hegseth) who will do whatever he tells them (which is the equivalent of being a Russian Asset)
He's setting up Putin's chess board
I understand denying Trump the win of a government shutdown, too.
We're fucked, either way.
Lesser of two evils, folks.
And what's more "evil"?

That may swing some votes from senior citizens who will need to go back in the workforce in their +70s after the gop dismantles social security.

Democrats can avoid being blamed for it by emphasizing why they're voting against it!
@fetterman.senate.gov
No on the CR.
No on the CR...
Thank you!!!!!!!

This is just so, so bad.
The ratio really sparks a little joy for a moment.

HE'S GOING TO VOTE NO TWICE, RIGHT????

The reporting on this is an absolute joke.

Now someone go corral Lurch please!
And the rest of the “RED” states.
👏👏👏
Coward!
He is actually one of the Senators I would be most worried about folding on this.
Maybe his buddy Biden advised him to not be a fucking idiot.

Thank you, Senator Coons!
💙
In truth, there is no government to save.
MAGA have violently attacked our Capitol and filled our government with grifters & fascists.
If Democrats help MAGA out of this mess, we'll know America is dead.
This is really the only thing Dems have any control over...if only they are brave enough (shouldn't even be about bravery, simply doing the right thing to save democracy)
— signed, the federal workforce
Dems have very little power. Voting for the CR gives away what little power they do have.
#DemsVoteNo. Every one. Every damn one.
Call these mfers
Shut this sh*t down!!!!!
No mercy to Vichy collaborators.
If Coons is voting against cloture then that’s probably the ballgame, bc he’s one of the least aggressive Dems (although that does seem to be changing)

It’s all he does. He barks.
BARK BACK!!!!
Do not concede.
