Republicans knew they needed Democratic votes to pass their spending bill. But, they refused to work with Democrats on a bipartisan deal to put American families first.

Plz DO NOT BEND! VOTE NO! I promise we will have your back if you have ours!!! Democracy is worth the shutdown! Government positions are being returned by courts!🇺🇸🇺🇸VOTE NO💙You must hold the line to bring order & honor back to the legislative branch. 💙🇺🇸VOTE NO ON BOTH GOP BILLS!!🇺🇸💙 SAVE OUR COUNTRY🇺🇸💙
The Republican spending bill does not serve Coloradans well; therefore, I will be voting no.
In the coming days, I am committed to working across the aisle to finish the appropriations process and craft a bill that is a better deal for Colorado.
When will you be coming out against Chuck Schumer as minority leader? The party needs a fresh leadership that doesn't include voting yes on GOP legislation.
All Democratic Senators who vote to fund the Trump/Musk shitshow by voting for cloture need to have holy hell rained down upon them forever. And this is particularly so whenever they come on here and feign outrage over some aspect of the very shitshow that THEY FUCKING FUNDED.
No on cloture either! Not a time to save face, shut it down and keep it shut. Don't work with The Republicans, these are not your friends across the aisle.
What’s the process for removing spineless Schumer from leadership ? If this theater we’re seeing from him is him “fighting” and “not giving up” then we are fucking doomed.
They don’t want to work across the aisle. They want the Dems to vote for cloture so they can pass their shutdown bill without Dems. A vote for cloture is a vote for the bill and a betrayal of Coloradans, since, in your words, it does not serve them well. Voting no on the bill and cloture.
We Democrats want Senate Democrats to SHUT IT DOWN!!! VOTE NO!!! Vote no on the Maga House Republicans budget bill!!!! WTAF is going in with two faced @schumer.senate.gov ?! Last night you were al unites and now he's saying he's voting for the bill?!!! https://youtu.be/7tNbsxVCQD4?si=ed3hMh5HxDAXyURG
Thank you for being a Winston Churchill and not a Neville Chamberlain. Now we need you to convince any of your colleagues who may be wavering on their “No” vote or have been pressured by our sad excuse of a Minority Leader to hold the line against Trump, Musk, & Vance! #DoYourJob #VoteNo
Many, perhaps even most, of the Senators "across the aisle" are literally fascists. I wish I was exaggerating with this statement, but I don't use that term lightly.
The only thing to do when faced with fascism is to resist it with everything you have.
Thank you Senator Bennett! We cannot fold. This is the only leverage that the Democrats have right now. Please talk to Hickenlooper . I pray he’s voting no as well! In Colorado I trust! 💙
I hope you’re not misleading us with a plan to vote no on the bill but yes on cloture. Yes on cloture is a yes on the bill. I voted for you to defend the Constitution and democracy.
Sen Bennett if you have any heart, if you want to show that Colorado spirit, please vote NO on cloture!! Tell Hickenlooper to vote NO on cloture. Elon is already shutting down the government. Vote no and give the courts time to do their thing while every thing is on pause. Put this on the repubs
There is no working across the aisle anymore. You senators need to get this idea out of your head about doing what is good in your state. Last I knew this is the United States, at least for a while more. You need to work for democracy. Please do, or I’ll be voting against you when your term is up.
It's pretty clear at this point that Republicans aren't interested in "working across the aisle." I really wish all of you would start looking out for us and drop the working with fascists bit.
Just left a message with your office as well, but please stay strong on this and encourage Senator Hickenlooper to do the same. No cloture. No quarter.
Thank-you, Senator for standing up for Colorado and opposing this attempt to gut our federal government. Your constituents have your back, fight to make your No vote mean something and keep your caucus strong against Schumer’s surrender.
Colorado needs strong democratic representatives. We have to vote No - The republican budget is unacceptable. We will not agree to throw our people under the bus by gutting healthcare.
BRAVO. Thank you, senator, for your sanity and for listening to the will of the people. Please hold steady and don't be swayed by @schumer.senate.gov 's cowardice. It's a betrayal of the American people. We are grateful to have real representation from you!
I am a constituent, and I’m imploring you to vote no on cloture as well. Democratic voters desperately need to see the senate fighting back and making life as difficult as possible for Trump. Slow things down, make the Repubs own their failure.
HOLD THE LINE! And tell @schumer.senate.gov it’s time to step down. Our party desperately needs someone with the courage to take the gloves off and FIGHT for our democracy. It’s time to stop doing what Putin’s puppet and the Foreign National want. Get in their way NOW!!
Your no vote will be cold comfort when they close to 15 bed hospital in Wray and then go up the road to Yuma and close the 15 bed hospital there where to next Fort Morgan?
Thank you. Please clarify you will be voting no on cloture. No “trick” votes to say you voted no on the CR after you voted yes to allow it to the floor.
Don’t vote on it at all! Filibuster its ass! What’s the use of voting on it when Trump isn’t going to follow it anyway? You KNOW he won’t! (I’m in Colorado)
Thank you. $8742.30!!! This is the cash price for our daughter’s seizure medication each month. Without #Medicaid and #Medicare we wouldn’t be able to afford them. Call your senators now! We must stop any cuts to these programs!
Senator Bennet, Trump is praising Schumer for his turnaround. I know they're threatening committee seats now if you don't fall in line. DO NOT give a bully your lunch money just because he asks for it. PLEASE, I'm begging you, HOLD THE LINE. Vote no on cloture. Vote no on the CR.
Are there any Republicans interested in working across the aisle? I haven’t seen any of it. The people need a re opposition party, we have zero respect for Schumer rolling over. If he’s just gonna play dead, he need to GO
Remember Democrats we are watching this Senate vote today... if you vote Yes to this CR we will PRIMARY the
hell out of you! This is no time to buckle. We have an authoritarian party controlling Congress and Whitehouse. Find your spines.
As a constituent, truthfully, I don't wanna hear anything about "working across the aisle." I want you guys to be getting really loud about who is *already* illegally impounding Congressional funds and dismantling entire agencies. The shutdown is already here. Let's stop compromising with the GOP.
i live in a red state, and lemme tell you, me snd my family dont wanna hear this either, we want to hear that democrats are actually doing something useful rather than caving like cowards
THAT PART!! You don't comply in advance with fascism and whoever told them we want them to be "bipartisan this time" sold them a bill of goods. We want them to FIGHT BACK.
The GOP has made their bed. We don't need the only people who can stand in their way to fluff their pillows.
Schumers late Thurs decision is an affront and a clarion call as to his ineffectiveness since FAILING to get a vote for a progressive SCOTUS during Obama.
Chuck needs to go.
Anyone who votes for the cloture needs to get primaried. They can’t handle the stress of the moment and the moment is bad. They need to be on the steps of the capital reading the highlights from the bill with a mega phone and why they are voting no.
Please stick with this NO vote! The House Draconian CR Bill should not be signed into law. Please oppose any proposed political theater of offering a short term spending bill which will be rejected, but then allows the Republicans to pass the CR Bill with only a majority vote despite Dems opposing.
Hey, while you're at it, can you work on reminding everyone in The U.S. Congressional House of Representatives & Senate that HIGH TREASON IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH, & that includes if they are found guilty of having complicitly gone along with & enabled high treason???
You and Hickenlooper voting yes on horrific cabinet picks is causing your constituents to lose faith and start wondering who's paying you now. There is no negotiating with terrorists who have taken over our government!
I am BEGGING you & your Vote No colleagues to talk to Schumer and the other Dems leaning Yes to not cave. While I am not in your state, I am in TX with no Congressional representation. PLEASE! 🙏🏼
Michael. Michael, don't try this. Don't display this kind of contempt for voters. I'm really sick of Democrats lying and saying they're fighting when they're agreeing to UCs some 460+ times THIS TERM so far. Are you NO on CLOTURE?
Thank you for holding the line on this. No Cloture and No on the spending bill.
Talk to your colleagues, the Dems need to stand united, the American people are counting on it.
Hello , I am from Palestine, from northern Gaza. Can you help me for the sake of my children? We are in a very difficult situation because of the war. I cannot meet the needs of my children. My children are sleeping hungry. Please help me.🙏🏽😭 https://gofund.me/e5056c06
Vote NO on cloture!! Republicans want to push forward a budget that makes tremendous cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security! For your constituents vote NO!
Fight! Vote No! Republicans are breaking the law either way!!
"We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all our citizens..any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization." -FDR
Are you voting no on cloture? Otherwise this is meaningless.
Remove Schumar. He is a spineless, ineffective wannabe leader who is legitimizing Trump and Musk's dismantling of our democracy by funding them. If you vote yes on cloture you will be to. It's time to push back!
Constituent here! ✋️ 80831
PLEASE vote NO on the CR and Cloture. We're a retired military/federal employee family, and we MUST take a stand and do all we can to save our democracy and future. Our parents, children, and grandchildren deserve a FIGHT. 🔥

Ok lost that battle Where to now Senator Bennet I saw the up coming town halls, be sure to show some of that fire that will help wake up some of those Republicans. We independents and Democrats need to see that our elected representatives are as angry at the demolishing of our democracy as we are.
So now you are going to go ahead and help the Republicans pass their budget busting, future robbing budget bill. So much for saving your ammunition. As a dependable Bennet voter I will never vote foryou as Governor or Senator!!
I’m one of your constituents and I’m watching your vote on this spending bill closely. Vote NO on the bill and NO on cloture. We can survive a government shutdown, we have before, let the Republicans take responsibility for the mess they created. No more complying with their agenda. This is war.
Remember Democrats we are watching this Senate vote today... if you vote Yes to this CR we will PRIMARY the
hell out of you! This is no time to buckle. We have an authoritarian party controlling Congress and Whitehouse. Find your spines.
Keep holding the line. Colorado doesn't want a gubernatorial candidate who can't fight back against fascism and I hope you keep that in mind No Cloture. No CR without severe limits on DOGE. Uphold Article I. No excuses.
Vote No on Cloture. Republicans are in the majority and can then work with the Dems to make a solution for both parties.
Demand clean bill. No cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, social security. Removal of DOGE and Musk until approved separately by Congress. Tax billionaires = balanced budget.
Time for Democratic leadership to step up or step aside!!
@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to meet the moment with the same outrage the American people have.
This is the time to resist. We got this far from Democrats obeying in advance instead of freaking FIGHTING these Russian sellouts. The world knows who they are sold to. The more ground we give, the more lives will be lost when it's too late. Dictators have no friends.
Can you imagine where we would be if Ukrainians gave ground like that. This a war for our democracy and 1/2 of our army is supporting the enemy and other half is giving ground an saving their "ammo"
What good does a Bennet no vote on cloture do if he doesn't have enough influence to sway his fellow Senators. We don't need a governor that all he can do is save his ammunition. for what??
That is what the Republicans of today do, in truth, they need to change their name to suit their politics since they don't care about America and only Russia, they should be renamed the Bolsheviks Party, which suits many of them now
This CR bill is dangerous and gives the Trump Administration the green light to continued dismantling of the government and empowers him to have more control over Tarriffs.
I’ll be voting any CO Dems out who vote for this CR.
Senator Bennet: we demand you vote NO on cloture, no on the Republican CR. Schumer has no plan, has put our party in a ditch with the other leaders operating on autopilot. He cannot remain the Senate leader. He must be removed. This will lot go away. You must make this change now.
Politicians choose their words carefully. There is a reason he did not say he was voting no on cloture. A “yes” on cloture is a “yes” on the bill. This is another performative attempt to serve the dark lord while trying to save his skin. It’s his and Hickenlooper’s MO at this point.
Hi, please remember to vote no twice today. It looks like you are already on board with supporting your constituents, and I look forward to it continuing

VOTE NO ON ALL OF IT.
Vote no. Tell the republicans you can have your vote when they are serious about governing.
In the coming days, I am committed to working across the aisle to finish the appropriations process and craft a bill that is a better deal for Colorado.
Please clarify your stance on cloture.
Please vote against cloture.
👏 👏👏

1) Musk/Trump has already illegally fired federal government workers and shut down multiple agencies.
2) Musk/Trump has vowed to impound even the CR appropriations.
3) Democrats must make a stand on the Constitution.
#VoteNoOnCloture
NO on both tomorrow, Sen Bennet!!
“#1 - Do not obey in advance.”
And never voluntarily give up your rights. Silence is consent.

Say NO to everything, Senator.
Vote No on Cloture
Vote No on the CR
Defend our Medicaid and Social Security
Can you please also check with Hickenlooper that he's voting no on the CR and cloture. He doesn't have an account here.
No on Cloture!
No mas Musk, trump!
A shut down is a bad place to be, but it'll be better in the long term than folding.
NO ON CLOTURE!
Or have you not been paying attention?
Everyone on here knows that cloture is the whole ballgame.
They want to *hurt* everyone so they can give Musk and his buddies tax breaks.
We will absolutely hold you to account on the cloture vote, since voting Yes on that means you voted yes on the CR. We're not uninformed here.

Can you call him and VERIFY Brian's voting NO?
But I am starting to think it’s just about over for us. The oligarchs OWN Chuck Schumer flat out. No denying it now. He’s the “leader”?
