If the senate dems vote with the republikkkans to pass this💩 budget funding bill, you might as well just bend over and kiss our democracy & your jobs goodbye.
Sen. Smith it seems like you and your colleagues are following a policy of intentional opacity in preventing constituents from knowing with any time in advance whether you plan to vote for this poison pill CR. I think this has implications beyond even this very important vote.
I'm a constituent. I'll be lighting up her phone lines until the vote happens asking her to vote no. If she votes yes, she may as well just take an early retirement and come home, no sense wasting more time in DC.
We obviously are not the party of shutdowns, but I think the country could forgive one if it is used to slow or prevent the ongoing dismantlement of the Federal government by Elon Musk.
I think our Senators haven’t decided and they need to know we expect them to play hard ball and not just agree to defund Medicaid and SNAP and our national parks and our social security benefit administrators etc . I just went over to the bad place to tell them I expect hard ball.
Please VOTE NO, Senator. You have some leverage. Get SOMETHING for the ppl for any support: dethrone the king and prevent the billionaire from destroying our government. They just want to privatize, use their cronies to make more $$$.
Specifically @smith.senate.gov and any other blue state Dem should be primaried if they don't carry out their most basic responsibility under our Constitution and defend Congress' power of the purse from the wanna-be-dictator who is abrogating it for himself as Sen Smith & others vote to let him.
Well that's good, because if she doesn't know what the right thing to do here is even when she has nothing at all to lose, then she clearly shouldn't be there.
The Democrat party isn't useless - hell in just the Biden admin they passed the biggest climate change bill in any country ever, the biggest infrastructure bill in a generation, CHIPS, built a booming economy, expanded NATO, and protected same-sex marriage from the far right Supreme Court.
I'm one of your constituents. We need you to vote "NO" on the CR. If you believe your own public remarks about this administration, the decision should be an easy one.
For the first time in the history of the world, you can simply say or post "He's an idiot" and 90 % of the world's population will immediately know whom you are referring to!
Don't just post about it. DO something about it. Get on every TV news program to discuss. Call every radio station and get on the air. Be LOUD!!! You're MN's representative. REPRESENT
Before I was elected I told you Joe Biden's economy was shitty. Abracadabra I made it so! The S&P 500 is only down 4 trillion dollars! Hey how's that 401k going for you. Stock portfolio? This is where I blame it on Bidenomics. Well not to worry you can live off your Social Security or maybe not.
That’s a golden HAZE. Golden HAZE. Next, a sort of red splatter, and then you realize your new Tesla is covered in blood and then the awful screaming starts as you recognize your own voice, but you’re not alone, no one is coming to help, everyone is running, the street is an abattoir and the ground—

SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN!!!
We need Senate Dems to stand firm & not accept any bill that does not insist that funds be spent as Congress has already allocated.
We need Democrats to push back on Trump & Elon's dismantling of our country & our constitution.
It seems like it would be political suicide for Senate Dems to vote for this, especially after the Laken Riley Act fiasco.
So why aren’t normie Senate Dems just a hard no on this? What conceivable benefit do Democrats derive from allowing it to pass?
As long as this fails at the end of the day that kind of posturing is fine.
But Dems should make no mistake, this CR should fail.
If they aren’t using the little bit they have to try to advance Democratic priorities then what is the point of holding office.
How can it possibly be that House Democrats are united in seeing this, but Senate Dems do not?
Don't be complicit in the kleptocratic coup.
Your constituents demand it.
Then McConnell stole Obama’s SCOTUS nomination while the Dems sat with their thumbs up their asses.
So FUCK YOU to any Dem Senator who votes “yes” on the CR !

Now make sure the CR goes down in flames!
Try it (many, many times)!

What's your actual job since Musk & Trump just spend the money however the feel like it? They're treating you like the hired help, not a Senator.
