Fetterman really ended up being a zero, didn’t he ?

I called my Senators who were both in the group of only nine Dems to oppose the advancement of this bill to thank them & urge them to persuade their Dem colleagues to vote no. 20+ did, not enough. Fear of losing office prevailed over doing the right thing.

Republicans took a messaging bill designed to scare voters, rejected every amendment to fix its gaping flaws, and made it even more extreme — and Senate Democrats caved.

Democrats will have one last chance to stop this bill before it heads to the House. Make sure your senators hear from you. 👇

Not great.

Because of your calls and emails, we have pushed 26 more Senate Democrats to oppose this dangerous bill. If any of these folks are your senators, you should say thank you and encourage them to keep fighting back against Republicans’ anti-immigrant fear mongering: https://indivisible.org/resource/thank-your-democratic-senator-voting-no-s-5-laken-riley-act?source=bluesky&medium=directpost

Infuriating

There is a better word: fascist.

🤯Outraged to see #Virginia Senator Mark Warner on this YES list.

I see the final vote is Monday. Is that 855 number calling to a local office or the DC office? Will anyone even be at local offices for calls this weekend?

I want to pass on information to others but want to make sure it’s correct.

They aren’t spineless, they are colluding. Seriously, we need to stop putting faith in Democrats to save us. Start by registering as an independent if you can. Don’t pre-swear your allegiance to either party. Make them guess and work harder for your vote.

Proud to be an Oregonian… sad it’s not enough…

Both my CA Senators are on Bluesky and I just told them both thank you!
