Understand this: Donald Trump and co-president Elon Musk are shutting down the federal government, piece by piece, including:
1. Shutting down the agency that stops banks and payday lenders from cheating working people.
2. Shutting down children’s cancer research.

They are already shutting down the government. We have no say in this, at least if you vote no, we the people have a chance to negotiate.
They want to dismantle the government, they can have a shutdown. It's THEIR shutdown. Vote no and pin it on them like they always did to dems
4. Even shutting down parts of the Social Security Administration.
And more.
Absolutely not. I’m fighting back.
Jesus Christ the Dems continue to play right into tRumps fucked up agenda! Stop helping him! If the Dems help him and we will be part of the problem. What the fuck Chuck, shut it down!
(A yes on cloture but a no on the CR is effectively still a yes on the CR, just FYI).
are you going to withhold unanimous consent after the cloture vote passes?
to make senators think about what they're enabling over the weekend? to let regular people have more time to get public opinion on your side?
if you give consent, you're not in the fight
VOTE NO ON SPENDING BILL
if cloture gets 60
and then you withhold unanimous consent after the cloture vote today
then and only then are you really "in the fight"
if you give your consent, don't come on TV and talk big talk about being in the fight

The resistance offered by the DP is extremely disheartening and underwhelming.
