Sen. Alsobrooks office now seems to be telling constituents she's a No on cloture. So 23 now on the list. Obviously you really want to see this FROM THE SENATOR and on the record https://talkingpointsmemo.com/senate-cloture-vote-tally

Here’s the link. He says around ~2 min mark cloture didn’t have the votes (via Schumer). So he didn’t outright say it, and seemed weasel-y, but 🤞🏻 he meant himself as well. Hoping as more senators publicize their no on cloture that senators who might be wobbly will fall in line.
Like I said, it’s all fingers crossed and hoping over here. And like I also said - hopefully the pressure of all the rest (after the contentious yell-y lunch) makes him fall in line.
Yeah - I don’t know, I had to search for it on his bluesky page ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. He also posted the YouTube link and below it new posts to his Substack (that he just launched). Messaging and comms help for dems seems desperately needed, apparently.
In fairness, kind of hard for a Senator from a state with a disproportionate number of federal employees to vote for a shut down...however justified it would be.
it's sad that we must demand a fight from DEM senators who claim to always be "fighting" for constituents. they're fucking pathetic (tbf they're very good about begging for money).
Her earlier votes in confirmation hearings were 😒 so I’m happy to hear this. Have been trying to reach her office…. Small donor here, and a fed. I even made my spouse look at one of her ugly signs in our yard for months — I’d like to continue being supportive.

I still don't know why we don't have a group Congressional blog/podcast at this point.
Cause that would fucking figure 😣
