Senate Democrats like @vanhollen.senate.gov are now trying to weasel out of filibustering the DOGE funding bill, by negotiating for show votes on alternatives Ds know will fail in return for dropping the filibuster.
@schiff.senate.gov is stepping in and acting like the Senate Democratic Leader.
* Puts the blame squarely on GOP
* Trump and Musk are already shutting down the government
* Says he expects cloture on the DOGE funding bill will fail on Friday
* Says GOP should take the offer of a clean 28-day CR
Yesterday @freedcproject.bsky.social organized hundreds of people to meet with senators and tell them to vote NO on the DOGE funding bill, which would slash the DC city budget by $1 billion.
They're meeting again at Hart Atrium at 10 am to keep up the pressure and demand NO on cloture!
idk the axios article seems like it's broadly in agreement with the OP, indicates they will vote for cloture in exchange for votes for amendments that will certainly fail
Point out to senators like @chuckschumer.com @schumer.senate.gov that their paid protection for Netanyahu's fascism appears to be controlling their surrender to it here at home.

"You should not publicly say that you want to shut the government down if the GOP does not accede to our demands." <--- something entirely different

This is documented criminal activity... and they're all turning a blind eye?
