and schumer is being clear, he's on board with it. this thing passes, the economy crashes harder, and the dems get blamed anyway while fascism enters its final form.
Can democrats put on blast all the things in this CR? Tell us all the reasons why this is trash, loudly, for the people in the back… particularly the abdication of power, the pain they plan for all the main street taxpayers
Don’t give them any ability to shut down the government through policy as they have been! We support your non-cooperation with the Republicans. Any cooperation you do give them will lead to the stripping of more resources and departments.
No on cloture. No show bills. No amendments you know will fail so you can say you tried. Stop the performative governing and start playing hardball. The fate of our country is at stake. Start acting like it!
Here's hoping they listen, and do the right thing. Probably too much to ask of today's version of Fetterman; we'll have to watch and see who else does the wrong thing.
First, don't vote for the House Maga Republicans budget bill! It's horrendous! Second, 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Rep. John Larson. THIS IS THE ENERGY WE DEMS WANT TO SEE!!! https://youtu.be/4WmWZ0pZpyQ?...
But they won’t.. we will. And we eventually will cave. Sorry but this isn’t a fight we can win. Pass the CR and fight like hell in the midterms. Until we have power back we can’t do shit. Sorry
We have no power. The longer the shut down happens the more it will doom us. We don’t have the stomach to keep vets from their money or anything else. They don’t have to negotiate crap with us. They left DC. We will cave and yes our base will suffer. Stop this
At this point it should be less asking and more “you will be primaried if you vote anything other than no”.
Because that is exactly what will happen whether the leadership is responsible for it or not.
These Republicans only care about giving DOGE more time to deconstruct the federal administrative state and make room for deadly budget cuts come October 1st.
They think/hope we're not watching @reptedlieu.bsky.social.✌🏻

Bawal Huminga Tug-of-War. The good team was severely out-powered by the brute strength of the opposing team. The stakes are death.
STRATEGY saved them. Dems must be smarter! For the sake of #democracy. #FreeAmerica #VoteNoFriday #VoteNo
If you're not going to shoot the mother fucker, then at least 🛑 supporting this abomination of a government. Dems will undoubtedly be blamed, so do not vote for the CR. It's a shit deal that abdicates the House's responsibility in running the government.
Grow some balls! Sad
He has admitted to having the election rigged. He has provided assistance to our enemies and attacked our allies. Please see attached re appropriate actions for Dump and everyone that assists him in his seditious endeavor.
Our California taxes funded the subsidies for the corrupt, & destroyer of democracy, Musk. It’s time you gather the courage to stand up against this monster destroying the fed govt & the world as a traitor siding w/ Putin.
You shouldnt need to ask, you should tell them if they want to remain in the party they will vote against this CR. If they vote for it, censure them right the hell out of the Democratic party! They are there to support their constituents and they are screaming for the CR to fail!
I don't think leadership understands that the base of the party -- which donates, votes, and canvasses -- is pissed. We are paying attention. We know the CR isn't clean. We know voting for cloture is the same as voting for the bill. We want fighters with fire in their belly, not DINOs.
I guess I’ll believe it when I see it. I didn’t appreciate his comments last night on @stephruhle.bsky.social calling it drama & theater. I’m a retired teacher. I see what’s happening. We’re not going to have a country or any departments to run it. He can wake up. Theater? First thing cut in schools
@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @amo.house.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov Dems are Damned if you do & Damned if you don't. "You've got to Stand for something or fall for anything." Besides, hasn't #trump #musk already practically shut the Government down? #TakeAStand
Ted - this is appreciated and what so many of us including moderate dems of all ages have been asking for. It is a good step and I thank you.
However, going to be frank - I was surprised to see you & Neguse & so many others sit at the SOTU while Al Green was thrown out. Stand up and fight for us!
Thank you for speaking out like this. Elon and Trump are currently permanently shutting down the government, and democrats should not help them in any way.
Well unfortunately it won't be for awhile but I can tell you I will do as much to oust him as I did to get him elected, which I am sad to say I did do!
Even Federal workers are asking for Democrats to shut this shit down. The harm it will cause if passed is so much greater than if the government shuts down.
Did you mean vote no ON CLOTURE, Ted? You know a yes vote on cloture is a yes vote on the bill. Voting no on the spending bill is meaningless without a no vote on cloture.
y’all’s messaging sucks.. it’s not clean because it gives trump the full ability to pull agency funding. it’s not clean because it….details…tie the effects to actual harm this CR would cause..
Please keep telling them to vote NO. In the hallway, in the cafeteria, in the coffee shop. We NEED them to vote no. We are quite literally begging them.
I hope you are telling the American people the truth. Because we are incredibly disappointed in the cowardice displayed by senate/congressional dems, so far. Especially when voting to confirm Trump's DISASTROUS cabinet picks.
"Trump's...technological imperialist/monarchist plans of Elon Musk’s Neo-Reactionary (NRx)...philosophy. NRx is a belief that democracy must be eliminated and the country run under a corporatist, technological dictatorship..."
The Senate Democrats must use the power of the filibuster and vote it down. The Senate Democrats must take a firm stand against Trump and the radical extremist Republicans. They must not allow harmful bills to pass. They must protect the people. Do not be afraid when you are doing what is right.

VOTE NO ON THE CR!
Let it shut down
Let the traitors take the fall!
We will rise up against the GOP
Passing a CR -they won’t even notice it.
If we get the same late Dem reaction we've seen in the last several months you are going to be looking up from the canvas.
Because that is exactly what will happen whether the leadership is responsible for it or not.

We had no say.
When we have a say, we will vote for something.
Otherwise use all of your "mandate" to pass it you freakin #GreedyOligarchParty

Vote NO on Cloture AND Vote NO on the CR.
Senate Dems do not, in fact, need to find bipartisanship with a party determined to end American democracy
Republicans are hurting citizens and have more plans for further pain
I've called both of my sens - both Deems -- are urged them to do so. Please urge as many as you can to vote NO on cloture. Thank you.

.let the magats own & feel the Pain they’ve caused.
They want a Stop-Gap Bill passed so nazi boy & Orange Turd can hand America to Putin on a fucking platter by the New Year.
Nobody wants a shutdown, however we need to be there for those who desperately need their services.
If a shutdown happens, it's all on the Republican.
We are fighting for the people
