It takes no imagination to consider how Trump would use the new authority he'd get from the House GOP slush fund bill to threaten and bully states across the country—you do what he says or he blows up your entire state budget. I will vote NO.

No on both the CR and the cloture. We must not give an inch on Congressional authority and oversight. This is what we voted you in to do, to fight and preserve our democracy. Appeasement will not work and the best time to stop a budding tyrant is right now. Wait and it will only get worse.
Thank you so much if you actually follow through to vote NO!!! I've been an essential worker before when the government shut down and it's stressful and it sucks but in the situation, it's much more important to shut it down because our government is being dismantled - make the Republicans PAY!!
Good! I'm at an airport headed back to Seattle and contemplating how to urge NO from here. Glad to hear it. It's time for democratic (lower case) loyalty. Schumer's time is over.
DJT wants to shut everything down anyway & having the government enter an actual shutdown period is like handing him a terminal, skeleton crew on a platter. But I think the House CR is sooo bad Ds are mostly willing to risk a shutdown by voting no on it. They should pass Patty's clean CR instead!!
Patty- I agree!
CR vs Shutdown - i think i agree with the action of shutting down because it may force bipartisan rework. Shutdown will pain GOP constituents as well. Perhaps during that time Dems can get the word out more about the nasty parts of the CR. Red cappers may be more attentive.
Vote NO. @whitehouse.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @hirono.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Your duty is to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Call 202-224-3121. Tell these senators; vote NO
He keeps getting power because of people fearing what power he may have in the future. It is a self driven cycle. Stop giving him power and he will become powerless in the future.
Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"
We are literally now being lapped by the Bush-era GOP on Trump's lawlessness. If a single Dem Senator votes for cloture on the slash-and-burn CR, SCHUMER MUST GO.
Schumer ***MUST*** go.
He is unwilling to serve the interests and will of the majority of Dem voters.
More importantly, no on cloture! Senator, please have a talk with your colleagues who plan to vote yes on cloture because I don’t think they realize how furious we will be!
We Democrats want Senate Democrats to SHUT IT DOWN!!! VOTE NO!!! Vote no on the Maga House Republicans budget bill!!!! WTAF is going in with two faced @schumer.senate.gov ?! Last night you were al unites and now he's saying he's voting for the bill?!!! https://youtu.be/7tNbsxVCQD4?si=ed3hMh5HxDAXyURG
Thank you for being a Winston Churchill and not a Neville Chamberlain. Now we need you to convince any of your colleagues who may be wavering on their “No” vote or have been pressured by our sad excuse of a Minority Leader to hold the line against Trump, Musk, & Vance! #DoYourJob #VoteNo
Now point the finger at the entire reason ANY of this is happening please! Chuck Schumer is stabbing you in the back Senator, at the very least call him out on it!
Schumer doesn’t understand that (bc of media) ordinary people think the government is being cleaned up!!!
They need to see repubs shut it down for real.
This country is already reeling from the chaos of these past 6-7 weeks. As much as I hate the idea of a goverment shutdown, I think this is the time to do it. We've experienced at least 4 shutdowns in the past 20 years and we all survived.
💪 Thank you! Please continue to fight for Washingtonians and fellow Americans against this corrupt administration and the dismantling of our government. We are in real danger. Elon is a crook who should be prevented from having any access to our government.
Sen . Schumer actually made a thought-provoking point on Chris Hayes tonight: a government shutdown would allow Trump to close the courts. That would be a disaster, since the courts have been standing in the way of some of the Trump/Musk Regime's worst actions.
SENATOR SCHUMER, PLEASE VOTE NO ON THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION! DON'T VOTE WITH TRUMP & THE REPUBLICANS! PLEASE VOTE NO SENATOR SCHUMER! CONSTITUENTS MAY BE HURT TEMPORARILY, BUT THEY & MANY OTHER AMERICANS WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU FOR HELPING TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY! ALSO, THEIR KIDS & GRANDKIDS THANK YOU!
@murray.senate.gov can you talk to Schumer @schumer.senate.gov , he's lost his way. He needs to get out of Senate leadership. The Senate needs a new Speaker.
Only need 23 Senators to replace Schumer. Want to be Minority Leader? Or maybe Warren or Wyden would like the job? If anyone can make this happen, you can. Channel your inner Nancy Pelosi and get your colleagues in gear.
Fight! Vote No! Republicans are breaking the law either way!!

Yes!! Senator Schumer is completely delusional. He shows he has no understanding of the total crisis we’re in. He has no backbone for the fight ahead! He’s voting for CLOTURE!!!
Not even the largest federal employees’ union is in favor of this spineless move!! 🤦♂️
Once again, Senator Murray, what are you going to vote NO on? Cloture? Or just the CR? Voting yes on cloture so you can vote no on the CR that will pass without problem is performative bull shit. Please stop being vague. Where do you actually stand?
Please remind Sen. Schumer that Neville Chamberlain (UK) thought he could placate Hitler. A lot of people died proving he was wrong. Vote NO on the CR and shut down DOGE. It's a beginning at stopping Trump, Musk, Project 2025, and resuming negotiations that will benefit Americans & our allies.
HOLD THE LINE Senator Murray. Don't cave like that coward Schumer. We are desperate for leadership. We're not seeing much of it from the the DEM leadership. Please continue to be an example. Shut the fucker down!!
Thank you for standing up and voting NO to the CR. EXTREMELY disappointed in Senator Schumer. Need to stand up for compromise and against bullies and billionaires.
Thank you from your constituent in 98503. I’m SO hoping Democrats will stand together & vote NO on cloture & NO on the CR. Please do everything in your power to make this happen.
No to cloture. I'm feeling incredibly betrayed and disappointed by Schumer and the Democratic senators tonight. A yes vote on cloture and a no vote on the CR are a yes to all this madness. I hope you know we all see that. We need to see and believe that you will fight for us.
Remember Democrats we are watching this Senate vote today... if you vote Yes to this CR we will PRIMARY the
hell out of you! This is no time to buckle. We have an authoritarian party controlling Congress and Whitehouse. Find your spines.

Please Senator Murray.

The minority leader needs to go.

I want to hear you’ll vote NO on cloture.
And while you’re at it, that you’ll challenge Schumer for leadership. He cannot meet the moment. He needs to go.
I support you 100%
Chuck Schumer needs to resign
Shut it down.
LISTEN TO PATTY MURRAY DAMMIT
No on Cloture!
No mas Musk, trump!
NO ON CR!!!

We need everyone to vote 'No!'
That goes for all Democrats who can't fight for us or rally their own team to fight for democracy.
Signed - an independent voter.
The former is the only one with any chance limiting the damage.
@schumer.senate.gov
Please take note & vote NO!!!
Replace Schumer mow!
NO on cloture, CR.
hell out of you! This is no time to buckle. We have an authoritarian party controlling Congress and Whitehouse. Find your spines.
That said, we really need you and your colleagues in the Senate raising some hell right about now.
