Quinnipiac poll out today: More than half of voters would blame Trump or congressional Republicans for a shutdown. One third would blame Democrats, and 15% are undecided.

Shut it down. Don’t help repubs. The bill has things in it that r very damaging to many US citizens. Things we strongly oppose. Don’t do it. Act like a true opposition party!

Stay on top of the messaging.
This would be a #GOPShutdown
Plus, this corrupt administration is ALREADY shutting down the government. Do you honestly believe they are suddenly going to obey the limits Congress sets?
And the one third who would blame Democrats are, not joking, mostly folks who believe conspiracies about Democrats and/or the government and would never support Democrats anyways.
All it takes is some courage and some good messaging about the horrors in the GOP bill. Sadly, we are more likely to get a "Susan Collins" response (I'm very concerned) before enough Dems vote in favor of the GOP bill.
This is simple. The Democrats have to frame this as "Republicans will force a shutdown unless they are allowed to gut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security to fund tax breaks for billionaires." Done. That is all they need to do - and they need to get that message out, not just to friendly outlets
Republican full-year continuing resolution reneges on veterans’ medical care and creates future uncertainty. This bill fails to include $22.8 billion in fiscal year 2026 advanced funding for the Toxic Exposures Fund to care for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances.

The GOP controls ALL THREE bodies. It's on them.
