I called both Padilla and Schiff and got the machine both times.

nmfr.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Same

swiggmeister.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Schiff is now a NO. Focus all your fire on @padilla.senate.gov

mondaymcgee.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I just called Padilla’s office and was told he’s a no. I urged him to also vote no on cloture.

Schiff went straight to voicemail as usual.

gdd9000.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Caving is just so pathetically shortsighted. Same endpoint, no control of process. No attempt at influence or pushback. Basically end up just looking complicit in the destruction.

@padilla.senate.gov

VOTE NO ON THE CR

Time to get tough. They are going to screw us anyway. So you might as well shut the government down.

ALL democrats (including Fetterman who is confused about his party affiliation) need to vote NO.

bpaige.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Call them. I just did and it’s painless. They don’t care about posts here

202-224-3121

swiggmeister.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Schiff just came out as NO

audreyii.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Tina Smith still has no position as of 1030CST

artificialmcb.bsky.social•18 hours ago

That said I think we should be making the staffers sweat this one. You’re more likely to get a real person on the horn at local offices. Light it up folks!

fleuryofwords.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Local office auto response, too.

artificialmcb.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Senator King’s office said “well I’ll certainly pass that along” & hung up. I read later in the morning he’s going to vote for it. To say I’m beyond disgusted & disappointed with his voting record this year is an understatement.

jeffbrowndyke.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Jared Golden's House 'yes' vote was to help provide cover for King's probable 'yes' vote, I suspect.

artificialmcb.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Jared is not a team player that way, not with democrats & not with other state reps like King. Holden is looking to run for governor but I can’t imagine he’s going to be popular once all the shit hitting Maine runs through & destroys our economy .

pecb.bsky.social•16 hours ago

What do you suggest we non-represented citizens of DC do?

fabricatedsnake.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Senator Cantwell’s (WA) office has gone straight to voicemail every time I’ve called this week. She does a lot of dubious centrist crap, so I fear the worst.

bpaige.bsky.social•18 hours ago

202-224-3121

Call your senators. Took 2 minutes

jeffry2000.bsky.social•17 hours ago

it's so frustrating because if democrats won't stand in front of the tanks while they are still Metaphorical how can we expect them to stand in front of the tanks when they become literal

jdswan.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Sorry, not a “you think there will be elections in 2026” type of cynic but I’ve totally given up on this one. Too many Dems on the hill have marinated in rightwing and both sides journalism for to long and are literally embarrassed of being called liberal

ceroespada.bsky.social•18 hours ago

With Coons as a no and Blumenthal as a lean no along with the VA senators and Slotkin being likely/firm nos, I feel like if there's a coalition for Yes it is very weird and oddly separated from the actual consequences of a shutdown? But you know more than me

cabinloon.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Are they no on cloture as well? Because a no on the bill without no on cloture is insufficient.

ceroespada.bsky.social•18 hours ago

This is based on statements on TV/social media I saw, and the tenor around what they criticized seemed to suggest an effective no. If this isn't the case I would conclude they were lying when they said they would vote no

arrowintotheair.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I've heard that Schumer is whipping yes votes - is that true, or just wild speculation?

emmogene.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I'm not sure. I placed my calls to him and Sen. Gillibrand earlier, and it went right to voicemail.

jeffbrowndyke.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It would not be out of character for him to hold the 'cower' position.

fleuryofwords.bsky.social•18 hours ago

@durbin.senate.gov
Auto response. Leave a voicemail or send a message through the website. (did both)

@duckworth.senate.gov
Overwhelming volume of calls, put on hold. A minute later told to leave a message or go to website. (I did)

It's pretty alarming. You used to be able to talk to someone.

elizabethgilligan.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I got voice mail for both Kim and Booker.

cabinloon.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I did as well for both Klobuchar and Smith.

ironyabounds.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Doesn't help to call their office. They just let everything go to voice mail. Mark Kelly's office won't even take messages, saying their voice mailbox is full. Gallego claims he isn't fully staffed. I've always been more anti-Republican than a Democrat. Dems are pretty damn useless.

sqgs.bsky.social•18 hours ago

What say you @senatedem.bsky.social - are you still refusing to listen to and HEAR your own voters? You’ve ignored us for years… do the right thing if you want to keep your jobs

Will be calling you all today!

jamaginnee.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I have been unable to get in touch with anyone at @baldwin.senate.gov 's office. Please vote NO.

hrpac.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The Ds in the Senate, through their own failure to unify yesterday, have already rolled over.

dariusaudubon.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Contacted

ogob.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Durbin and Duckworth will do the right thing! We are Illinois!

jazziknits.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Spoke with a real person at Jeff Merkley’s office and he is a definite NO.

Left a message with Ron Wyden.

noahdahl.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Both of my (Dem) senators have more or less made it impossible to contact them in real time.

bpaige.bsky.social•18 hours ago

That doesn’t mean they aren’t tracking calls. Leave a message at
202-224-3121
They are monitoring

noahdahl.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Believe, I'm not new to this. They don't take vm either. I submit via contact forms when I can, but it's much more cumbersome for a working person (vs. making a call during transit)

bpaige.bsky.social•17 hours ago

But this is the switchboard. You say the name of your senator and are immediately able to leave a message. They are all voice mail.

kyawitz.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Same. Never a human answering, who would have to respond to constituent asking "Can I count on the Senator to vote NO?"

cabinloon.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Only voicemail for me but I did it anyway.

specwill.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yeah, same.

maggiesmi.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Contacted both my CT Senators. I was only able to leave a voicemail but hopefully they are hearing from their constituents.

vtforestbull.bsky.social•18 hours ago

just called Senator Welch's office. very nice staffer said she would pass the message along. still no indication how he plans to vote.

kadymond.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Just called my VA senators to say they should vote no. I was told my concerns would be passed on.

jpin.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Called and left message in DC and local.
Will calll again later to try and talk to staffer

sabrinacostello.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Called both of my dem senators. Got staff for one who was noncommittal and thanked me for sharing my concerns. Got voicemail for the other. Utterly useless. Hope they both get primaried.

sybilltrelawney.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Schumer’s staff not answering the phones in either DC or NYC. Left messages at both locations telling him to vote no and lead other Democrats to vote no.

erbeckman.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Still no position from @smith.senate.gov , tho I did get to talk to staffer to register request to vote no on cloture and the bill. Voicemail, again, from @klobuchar.senate.gov left a message with the same request. I encourage both Senators to uphold their oaths to the Constitution, inc Article 1

johnfrom25k.bsky.social•16 hours ago

CT -
@blumenthal.senate.gov Left a VM on his D.C. line demanding NO on the GOP CR and NO on any cloture trying to force the vote. 202.224.2823 @chrismurphyct.bsky.social D.C. VM box is full so I called his Hartford office instead and left the same message. 860.549.8463

swiggmeister.bsky.social•17 hours ago

@schiff.senate.gov is now a NO on the CR. He just posted on Bluesky

jp-invention.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Even if you are the quiet shy type, like me, do it. I just did. I read the script and it took me five minutes. You’re most likely leave it on an answering machine or some staffer that will just listen and take note of it. Numbers matter.
