I’ve been calling daily and up until this moment he was signaling no. Now offices are closed and I can’t even leave a message. BUT!! I was able to email him! And tomorrow I live another day to fight!
I admire you trying!
I have two useless representatives as well so I do understand the frustration.
I also don’t understand why he’d even consider helping Trump. If Trump wants it then it’s bad for America. Everyone knows that.
I left him a comment. He’s a rat and disgusts me for his decision on voting yes. I’m a democrat, but this bastard has me losing any faith to this party.
1️⃣ “REMOVE RFK Jr NOW. His broken promises, actions & inactions will cause deaths” (+3,072)
2️⃣ “Vote NO on Republicans’ terrible funding bill!” (+1,471)
3️⃣ “Prioritize Americans, vote against cloture on funding bill” (+1,451)
Did you hear his explanation? See interview on all in. Basically he said they WANT a shutdown bc it would give 🍑& 🍈 carte blanche to go through w/destruction. Exception he didn't refer to fruit, he called them bastards.
I understand~and agree-or did. It was the part where he mentioned the courts possibly being shut down that gave me pause.I mean, that's all we've got at this point. We're all enjoying the echo chamber of 🦋 these days,but I kind of wonder what the Maga state of mind is. They thought we were lying.
I hear your concerns, and I have them too, but I doubt the government being shut down or not will have any bearing on the courts ability to alter the administrations actions. Especially in lieu of the orders that are already being ignored or being followed at snail pace.
Yes,I spent time thinking afterwards. Protesters were jailed,"annexing" is real, bc that's what Putin does. It is abt retribution;GOP voters haven't realized they aren't omitted. Law makers mumbled abt threats,but not loud enough to be heard,opting for CYA instead of banding together.(cont'd)->
He's disregarded the courts since the EG Carroll. For all the chest beating,no one has stopped anything or pd. attention to what he said he was going to do,accepting lies,violating Emoluments Clause & Hatch Act,others he bragged abt.The crazier,the louder the cheers.The U.S. will go out w/a whimper.
@schumer.senate.gov wants protest and town halls with democratic representatives again. Democratic voters thought they got the message but they need a reminder again @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social
I understand the temptation, but if we're getting anyone *out* of a position of authority, I would much rather see TFIC in a lovely jacket that ties in the back and lets him hug himself all day.
He won’t be able to go to a nursing home if he votes yes. The Medicaid cuts will keep him out just like it’s going to do my mom suffering from dementia. How dare you, @schumer.senate.gov !
one outgoing message sounds like an intern's voice & he repeats, 'due to the high call volumn' about 5 or 6 times during the message now. makes me think the calls r doing something. even if it's just being annoying

Or you could tell him he’s old and useless and should just quit if he’s not going to actually help people.

Schumer needs to fall in line.
"Chuck Schumer!" works better as a call to action than a greeting.
NO UNANIMOUS CONSENT ON ANYTHING.
The slower they go, the less they can break.
We can use leverage, too.
So go to https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact and leave a comment tonight, then…
Light up his phone lines at 9:00 when they reopen tomorrow morning:
(202) 224-6542
Use your power today!
Schumer seems to be more interested in keeping his book tour on schedule than keeping American democracy alive.

1. No shut down so Dems are harder to blame for tanking economy.
2. Courts remain open to fight Elon.
3. We don’t have to watch our shitty leaders try to navigate the politics of shut down.
4. Blame lands on hapless Senate leadership, maybe pushing for change.
My two Senators are voting No.
You are complicit in the stripping of our government.
