If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social grab the reins and run!
What the need to to be clearly & firmly a NO, early on, so MAGA Mike will call the House back into session to pass the clean 30 day CR, to have time to negotiate. Congress can work on the weekends too.

NO UNANIMOUS CONSENT FOR ANYTHING. MAKE THEM WORK FOR EVERY INCH.
"The slower the go, the less they break."
Friction. At all levels.
But we don't need to wait for "leadership" to wake up.
We continue the boycotts and use their leverage against them.
“The conduct of war resembles the workings of an intricate machine with tremendous friction, so that combinations which are easily planned on paper can be executed only with great effort.”
So..... chaotic resistance.

Or maybe some nice people can go and have a polite word with his publishers explaining how it's in their best interest to postpone his book being released.
Free parking though... good to know 😏
They need to go, too. No more hunky dory pablum. Vote them out.

Considering the courts have been the most helpful in checking Musk and trump's EOs, I see why Schumer brought that up.
We need one very badly.
This is not that..
@schumer.senate.gov you are failing this country.

If republicans use rescission or reconciliation?
Why would Wall Street want Schumer to help Trump do exactly what they don't like about him?
schumer isn't even playing checkers here, his analysis is hurried and based on 30-year-old data and principles. he's just an old fart with an ossified brain who can't see what is in front of his face

how's that for optics?
Where's the evidence that any of the court orders have been obeyed.
Have All those fired been rehired?
Have any USAID posts and food aid been reinstated?
No evidence so far.
I expected Lions with Pride to rise against the Leopards Eating Faces party.
Tigers like AOC can fight. Will.
She's alone like a Tiger in the wild.
We've seen the Dogs and Monkeys emerge instead.
I'm in Canada my Friend and it's hard to watch without anger.
I wish Canadians would come home from the US!
No, Schumer and Durkin et al bring super soakers to stop the arsonists burning down our republic, AND they forgot to get water.
@schumer.senate.gov is a putz.

Yes, delay, deny... you know the drill.
Chris Murphy!
But like, of course they do? Minority rights are huge in the Senate.

Post on BlueSky, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. She'll own this issue by next week.
Being in the House doesn't prevent her from starting a PAC. Anyone (you, me) could do the same thing but we wouldn't raise millions.
Refusing to end debate also causes delay.
If voting on the bill is delayed past midnight 3/14/25, it does more than push the vote into next week.
It means shutdown. No vote on the bill until Rcons call one.
Fastest way to bring the whole gov't to a halt.
But after the shutdown happens, the power dynamic changes & ALL the control about resolving it is on the Republicon side.
A shutdown tonight does nothing to eff the rich.
And it would put a smile on the face of the richest man in the world.
Their base is already beginning to protest & I don't see any response from Rcon leadership.
<
Why should they? I can't think of any reason why they would.
And it would be entirely up to the Republicons to decide how long the shutdown would last. Days? Weeks? Longer?
The people hell-bent on destroying the US from within (Elmo Sunk & his ilk) would welcome a shutdown.
It would let them do more damage faster.
We just got the district court ruling ordering tRUmp to give a LOT of fired people their jobs back. A shutdown gives the administration a perfect excuse NOT to rehire those workers, and to fire more.

What has folks convinced their plans w/ CR will be better than a shutdown?
However, if this shutdown begins, Republicons will have ALL the power of deciding when it ENDS.
Every day the shutdown lasts helps the overall Rcon mission of totally destroying our system of government.
The CR gives them legal permission to basically move forward with their slash & burn effort & takes away the ability for Dems to reign in his tariff war + more.
Pain now or slow authorized pain over time, no?
