Please try harder to convince others that there is no upside to the hell we're living in now. We are ready to build Republic_V2 and there's no place for @schumer.senate.gov and others afraid to see reality in it.
Thank you, Senator.
We are horrified and distressed at what is occurring in the Democratic Party.
They should not be one single democratic politician in office supporting one single piece of business put forth by the rapist-insurrectionist-felon-traitor-spy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What about no on cloture? That should be automatic now that democrats are in the minority. Any vote for cloture is actually a vote for whatever evil fascist bill the republicans are pushing.
Thank you so much for looking out for the American people instead of your job. We appreciate you and we need a hell of a lot more people like you instead of the cowards that are wandering the halls of Congress right now
Thank you very much Senator Markey, I wish the party was unified on this. It’s dispiriting to know Trump and Musk will continue to take a wrecking ball to government agencies and there will be Democratic senators who voted to help them.
Thank you for voting with constituents! And Schumer can no longer be allowed as minority leader after today. Enough is enough. He is more than failing at a critical moment.
Senator Markey, Thank you, Sir, for voting NO...it is a terrible situation. What, in your, opinion do we do now? I have family and friends who will be to live without CRUCIAL benefits. Some of them voted for Trump, thinking he would help them. A devastating day!
NO NO NO THIS IS THE MOMENT TO STAND UP AND AGAINST THE MONSTERS PROPOSING THE DISMANTLING OF OUR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. Do not back down from this fight. Unite our party and JUST SAY NO. God help us and the American people if you vote yes, and DAMN YOU IF YOU DO. https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/mess...
Stand in Unity! The Voters will reward you come 2026! Take the House and Senate back, slow down Elon- Trump's agenda to seize more power, and roll over the sheep in the GOP
THANK YOU, SIR. Democrats were elected to stand up for us and we are being pummeled. Americans are suffering with mental & physical health problems from the stress of the horrors we are enduring. If you all can't stand up for us, we will primary you. Please share widely with your colleagues.
GOOD! WE EXPECT OUR REPS TO REPRESENT US AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY, NOT COWER TO THE REPUBLICANS! A yes vote would be the biggest possible slap in the face to those of us protesting, boycotting & actually fighting back. We won't donate to or vote for any Democrats until we see you fight, too!
Vote NO. @whitehouse.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @hirono.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Your duty is to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Call 202-224-3121. Tell these senators; vote NO
THANK YOU!! For clearly stating that you are standing up for what is right for your constituents (I am one..) and for OUR country. Please get Schumer to do the same!
How come the Senate Democrats betrayed the American people? It’s not just the ten. It’s all of you. Someone could have refused unanimous consent on the time agreement for the cloture vote and gained maybe 30 more hours to fight. Call for Schumer’s head if you’re sincere.
Majority of Americans (and democracies worldwide) do not want a ketamine junkie & his tangerine demented sidekick destroying our country, at the behest of the US fascist party. Do NOT concede without a real fight!
A yes vote on the CR from the house will embolden TRUMP/MUSK/PUTIN and cement their hold over congress. Capitulation is never the answer to a dictator. This very well maybe the only chance to make a stand, while they are still weak. A YES will only strengthen them and weaken congress.
No. This is not going to be a two week shut down. They may shut down the federal government for years, and dismantle everything. These are not normal times. Don't expect normal efforts to reverse a shut down. A shut down gives autocratic power to Musk and Trump. This is an emergency.
No! A shut down closes the federal courts, the only hope the opposition has. Trump can literally begin arresting political opposition with impunity, even senators. If you don't think that's coming you haven't been paying attention. These are not normal times. Avoid a shutdown at all cost.
You can't throw away the only leverage that the opposition has and defend it by saying you're trying to save the only hope the opposition has. The regime ALREADY detained a lawful permanent resident while admitting Mahmoud Khalil didn't break any laws. You're trying to prevent what already happened.
The right move is to fight. No on cloture, no on the CR, no on everything until Trump, Vance, and Musk are removed from government and their illegal actions are reversed.
Hope that means you will vote no on cloture. That is the only place where this horrible bill can be stopped. Please get your fellow Dems to vote no as well.
URGENT! CALL YOUR SENATORS THIS MORNING!
☎️ 202-224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on the budget resolution and demand they vote no on cloture (speeding up the CR bill vote) and NO on the resolution itself. Cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits must not happen!
I hope there are enough voting no to sink it. I hate the idea of a government shutdown but I hate this president consuming yet more unchecked power. This CR is not ok. Reps should pass a clean CR or invite Dems to the table. If this passes, Reps will know they can get away with this again in Sept.
I need so much more info…
@schumer.senate.gov was saying they have plans to destroy more while the institutions close…
Also courts not open to stop Trump/Musk
This makes him look like a crazy old man. He doesn't understand how insane he sounds. Trump, Elon and Maga Republicans are doing whatever they want already. Everything he's worried about is what they're already doing! A shut down is a must!!! https://youtu.be/SJDHET0MAz8?si=3oqephXmoWSHO8nM
I'm following all this from England and learning a lot more detail about the US political system as I go. This has me very confused. What does a government shutdown actually mean and could it really give Trump and Musk a freer rein than they already have?
Okay I just read this article and now I have a basic grasp shutdown. I still do not understand at all how it could give Trump more power. It seems like it actually gives the opposition party more leverage. Are there nuances I don't see or is Schumer nakedly lying? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-shutdown-deadline-march14-2025/
I have no idea what Schumer's doing. The other night he came out and said that the party is united in a no vote on the bill. Then the next day he says he's voting for it. His explanation is completely insane. What he tells Chris Hayes of what he thinks might happen is in fact already
Happening! It doesn't give the Maga Republicans any more power at all. They're already doing what they want. Our Federal Judges are reversing what they're doing. So Chuck Schumer makes no sense. Democrats have to do this every time, bail out the Maga Republicans and then they sh*t all over us.
This bill is so horrendous and wasn't bipartisan at all. The Maga Republicans wrote it without any democratic input. Chuck Schumer has ruined his chances if re-election if he goes through with it and votes yes. I know Fetterman is voting yes but since his stroke he's been more with Maga
I get Schumer's rationale, but if you are reading the room, the people are ready to fight alongside with any representative(s) willing to go the distance, take that chance, We know who to blame when the rubber hits the road,
The GOP, Trump, Elon!
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

VOTE NO!

Vote "No" on cloture and "No" on the CR. Fight for the US and against the Neo-Reactionary (NRx) authoritarian regime of Musk/Trump.
That’s the job.
This isn’t business as usual!!!
Time to hang up the boots and let the future leaders step up. Play advisory roles to help them, teach and guide them but let them lead.
You should enjoy your well earned retirement.
You would be fantastic as the new Senate Minority Leader

Ed gets it!
He wants to let Elon Musk cut Medicaid/Medicare and social security!
Majority of Americans (and democracies worldwide) do not want a ketamine junkie & his tangerine demented sidekick destroying our country, at the behest of the US fascist party. Do NOT concede without a real fight!
Show unity with THE PEOPLE not donors.
GET RID OF SCHUMER <= failure
#SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump and #MAGAGOP, Had Already Planned To, "Impound Funds", From The CR As Written!
ALL #Democratic Senators NOW KNOW This Was Always The Plan!
EVERY #VOTER - IN EVERY STATE-KNOWS THEY ALL KNOW!
STOP WITH THE, "High Horse On The High Road"!
Omg what is wrong with him???
He's been milking this too long and many will be hurt by his cooperating with actual Nazis.
#Leadership
Truth.
It’s a time to resist… Not capitulate .

“We’re already getting screwed. I’m voting to use a little Vaseline…”
If he votes yes, then please call for a change in leadership.

“#1 - Do not obey in advance.”
And never voluntarily give up your rights. Silence is consent.
Because that desiccated douchebag is fucking us ALL over.

And Schumer, as usual, just caved. It’s LUDICROUS.
THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING.
A shutdown would be THEIR FAULT. They bloody well know it. The country would blame THEM. They’re scared shitless of it.
Cloture is a fucking GIFT.
they are just dickheads - including the women
He has his wealthy donors and probably no worries about Trump's antics impacting his life.
