The House GOP CR is NOT "clean." It slashes funding for Army Corps projects by 44%—halting progress on port dredging & more. It cuts medical research, specifically research to treat our servicemembers, by 50%. And it reduces funding for lifesaving cancer research by $250M. - ThreadSky

I'm a spouse of a federal employee, living in an area with primarily military members and federal employees who will all be impacted financially if the shutdown happens. And still, I beg you and all Democrats to hold the line! We are willing to sacrifice our finances to ensure democracy prevails.

As a constituent and voter of yours, I would appreciate all you can do to stiffen the spines of any wavering caucus members to ensure that they vote NO on cloture and NO on the republican CR. This vote really is for all the marbles, protect your Article I powers now or lose them perhaps forever.

ashmueli.bsky.social•2 days ago

No to any CR at any length. No to collaboration. Avoid the trap door. Sometimes what the patient needs is an induced coma. Do not help Musk et al while they stretch the country on the operating table and cut at it with a rusty saw. Don’t lend your hand and tell yourself you are slowing it down.

ashmueli.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is different. I am a WA voter and always voted D regardless of who I voted for in primaries. It was always better than the alternative, I said. There was never a time like now to SHOW YOU ARE BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE or what’s the point. It’s one thing to lose. It’s another to be a loser.

4betterfuture.bsky.social•2 days ago

Keep your compatriots in line-this fight is too damn important! We’ve got 4 years of future crap from them, we should start in stubborn solidarity!

suewhitcomb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Constituent here. The way I read this is that as long as the Democrats get a vote on your “clean CR,” they will then roll over and vote for cloture on the 6-month CR that passed the House. Is this correct? Giving away ANY leverage.

suewhitcomb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Then the Democrats can pretend as if they are offering resistance, when they are actually caving — because they don’t think they can “sell” the idea that a government shutdown is on the Republicans. It’s a bait and switch on their constituents.

lestatdelc.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's the cloture vote that matters.

To be clear, your "30-day CR" iamendment that only gets a vote IF the Dems allow cloture on the House-passed CR bill. When your amend fails (you don't have the votes), the Senate passes the House CR version with 51 votes instead of 60.

VOTE NO ON CLOTURE!

realbenisons.bsky.social•2 days ago

jat0303.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope the reporting I've seen is wrong. I'm reading that you won't vote for cloture unless the R's are willing to let amendments be considered.

If this is true, you know this is a losing strategy and R's won't adopt any amendments from Democrats.

If this happens, you have let us all down.

If you have to, just shut it down. Read the room: Thousands are marching in the streets and protesting at town halls. We won't blame you for a shutdown--we know that this is 100% on the GOP. Better some short-term pain than long-term agony.

@murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov please vote no on that bill.

The GOP has used the government shutdown threat countless times, and for once the Democrats have an opportunity to use their own tactic against them.
