Their votes are needed to pass the budget and they better not vote to help this shit. It’s up to us to blast the calls to our reps to ensure this happens we shutdown the govt until things get restored

Why are Dems' votes needed? As long as Republicans all vote yes, the bill can pass. And Republicans are now mostly Trump loyalists, except for one or two members. Am I missing something? Or you mean we blast to some Republicans in swing districts?
Because there are a number of House Republicans who will vote against any funding bill, Democratic votes will be needed in the House. And since the bill can be filibustered in the Senate, 60 votes will be needed in a chamber where Republicans hold 53 seats. That means only a bipartisan deal.
Oh you mean the funding bill. I see. Then maybe the Senate should filibuster everything possible (if Thune keeps his promise to protect the filibuster) and leave everything to each state... if that minimizes Trump's power. Although that would feel really bad.
