Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

And are you holding every Republican you know accountable?

Doubt it.

I'll keep my Dem registration but only so I can help burn the party to the ground.

Complicity is an ugly thing.

You know how the Rs always answer questions with "I have read that." or "We’ll need to look into that."? I’m beginning to think the Dems are just as stupid.

...clicking sounds of ratcheted power being cinched down weren't audible. But the crew knew they'd just lost the moon🌙. By allowing the GOP to burn the fuel, they were shutting the fuel cell down just the same. And we'd be going in a different direction from home, with too many crew & in gimbal lock

When Citizens United passed Republicans aren’t the only ones who offered themselves up for sale.

Schatz!?

Guess they're a part of the international crime syndicate, too.

Question. Can someone sue EM for tortious interference with contracts? Don't know the structure of the Federal Torts Claims Act and to what extent any claim of sovereign immunity would be waived under it.

I’m ashamed right now to be a New Yorker.

With you.

I'm in Maryland. According to TPM (last time I looked), both my senators are voting no on cloture -- I wrote to them thanking them. Hope they hold fast.

Appalling to see the Trump admin drive a knife into Columbia University just so both NY Senators can say "this is good and there should be more of it"

KG? There have always been so many questions abt her “right” tendencies and judgment but she lucks out by no primary and bad opposition. Schumer? Old school institutionalist who DT has bullied forever and who is more concerned abt rep and press.She heads DSCC and both think caving helps 26. Doesn’t.

New York, you’ve got to clean up your house

Those ppl are preparing for something major.

But Max if the government shuts down, someone might say it's the Democrat's fault. What then? And if they do a shutdown, what's to stop Trump from firing a bunch of the furloughed workers?

(This is the sincere argument I heard from someone defending Schumer. It made my blood boil to write it.)

Weird how it’s always right around the number needed

ghostofpartiespast.bsky.social•23 days ago

Like the 2 left leaning SCOTUS judges that made the Citizens United decision 5-4 in favor instead of 6-3 against. With Dems like these who needs Republicans?

kells-bells-5.bsky.social•23 days ago

It’s so that all the other cowards don’t have to reveal themselves….

nuix.bsky.social•23 days ago

I cannot tell you the white hot rage that I will feel towards the whole party if they do not hold the line against cloture.

lucyksy.bsky.social•23 days ago

There is no Democrat unity.
