Exactly why it is imperative no D vote for the bill

steelergal126.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yup! We want no part of it!!

thehillshaveayes.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Of course not, but we should still call our rep representatives and senators to make sure they know

100% correct.

Senate Dems are nothing but fascist collaborators.

No forgiveness.

How many jobs have they saved so far? Court cases won? Get back to me.

I see even AGFE is doing journalism more than our free press is.

Free Press have been captured by GOP Capitalists

Democrats should still not vote for any part of that Bill! Taking Medicare from People so Billionaires can have another tax break??

This is the right framing. We're already in an illegal government shutdown, with Elon/DOGE having total discretion over what gets to stay open at their whim. The only question is whether Congress takes control of the terms of the shutdown and reopening—and the CR wouldn't do that.

Read these books by Dr. Bandy X. Lee: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump and her follow up book: The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. Psychiatrists discuss the truth of his mental condition which demonstrates his mental illness.

It seems almost as if enslavement to capitalist ventures is the only goal in controlling people in the work force.

If Murdoch and social media were being manipulated to reinforce an “invasion from within,” they would serve as tools of mass influence—shaping public perception, deepening divisions, and keeping people distracted while global systems were altered from within. It’s a coup

YES thank you. If you're not going to draw the line here, where are you ever going to draw it?

quedebijoux.bsky.social•18 hours ago

This is the truth!

Why are Democrats concerned about shutting down a government that is just limping along?

This might force the people wielding axes and sledgehammers to stop, and give Democrats a chance to actually develop a plan.

adamssv.bsky.social•16 hours ago

This federal employee agrees in my personal capacity.
Brace for bullshit onslaught blaming D's and unions for everything but what else is new.
Too bad we are not allowed to strike.

They have summed up the apocalypse. I fear that there are more Fetterman’s to come forward.

brandogarcia.bsky.social•18 hours ago

That’s the key—we are already experiencing a shutdown. Providing funding just masks it.

shermanfan.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Shout outs to my union for being right - I don’t think any fed worker with a brain makes a distinction between an acute shutdown starting in a couple days and what’s been going on since inauguration

Fetterman is already gone! 😖

djakote.bsky.social•11 hours ago

They really should be describing it as the regime... this is not an administration.

han-shan.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Trump's Feb. 11 executive order already is intended to drive Federal employment down to shutdown levels.

muddlethrough.bsky.social•16 hours ago

YESSSS! Any Senator who doesn’t realize this… well, I don’t know what to say.

jim0novak.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It’s still unclear whether all Senate Democrats have evolved opposable thumbs.

They just don’t seem to grasp what it means to be “the opposition”.

If there is a government shutdown, the remaining essential employees should go on strike. Compliance and obedience give this government its power. Though they could all be fired, they could show their collective power by the effects on the economy, such as air travel.

No appeasement with Nazis. Shut it down.

margiem.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Keep calling your reps and
Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777
John Thune (202) 224-2321
Chuck Schumer (202) 224-6542
Hakeem Jefferies (202) 225-5936

Call for impeachment or treason charges

A shutdown will allow workers to take to the streets to protest this DOGE crap. In 2020 people took to the streets in protests that helped kick Trump out of office.

alextheis.bsky.social•15 hours ago

@schumer.senate.gov Vote no on cloture, you spineless doof.

mblairghl.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Vote NO

This should be sent to all democratic senators who are wavering and any republicans who are still clinging to shreds of their integrity
