As the wife of a federal worker and veteran, we are in favor of a shutdown. People need to feel what it’s like to not have a federal government working for them anymore. Maybe then they will wake up. #VoteNoOnCloture

I understand the sentiment; however, there are much bigger issues at stake than mere retribution. When/if the Federal Government collapses, it will be akin to the attack on Ft. Sumter.
You both and so many others will feel the impact deeply and disproportionately. Your statements show the courage of patriotism and the sacrifice for love of country.Thank you.
Im a federal worker and I am also in favor of a shutdown. Im Angry at the democrats that may give in to Republicans. New leadership needed. Primary Chuck Schumer!
I worry Trump will find a way to spin this in some way that will favor him, but I hope you are right and Dems vote no to wake them up. Tuberville went on Fox and smugly said the Democrats were too cowardly to vote no. So infuriating to be seen as weak.
yes indeed, I need to fell what it's like to die from Luekemia or starve to death. You're not just hurting republicans you're hurting every one. and I don't deserve to die from leukemia.
We don’t have a federal government working for us right now. The best thing possible for this government would be for it to be shut down as long as possible.
Who’s to say the Rs would act in good faith and actually work to reopen the govt though? Some Rs and Elon did say they wanted a shutdown making it a horrible predicament, regardless.
I'm a disabled single mom who relies on SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security and I have been hoping that the government shuts down the last few days. If it doesn't, I'm not sure how much government we will really have soon.
I definitely think that it should happen. Republicans never ever hesitated to shut down the government or threaten to shut down it. So democrats have to play hard ball now.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov you turned your back on government employees. How can you justify that? Step down as Minority Leader now. Let a true leader like @chrismurphyct.bsky.social take over.
One post I read said that in the past Dems would go along to avoid hardship for federal staff & citizens… as it said, that has been taken care of, i.e. we are already screwed.
Then Republicans and their official propaganda networks will be repeating 24/7 that Dems are responsible. This is just what Republicans are baiting dems to do. Think this out. Switch your rage to this https://www.youtube.com/live/AyXba-vx1sw?si=owdQgy2I0r9ISamW
Same. I'm a DC government employee that will be collateral damage, I'm a single income household, and don't have savings. I'm in favor of the shutdown. If anybody understands authoritarianism, they would understand why this is a critical moment.
Exactly. We’ve been saving MAGA from Trump and the GOP for years now. Our job now is to stand back and let them OWN it. It’s the only way MAGA will learn they’re following a psychopath and a fool
Absolutely. The messaging from democrats needs to be “What you are feeling now is about to be permanent. Call your Republican MoC. And tell them they work for you.”

It's not like they aren't already destroying everything they can get their hands on. Someone needs to put up some resistance.
We can't pretend it is normal.
In truth, there is no government to save.
MAGA have violently attacked our Capitol and filled our government with grifters & fascists.
If Democrats help MAGA out of this mess, we'll know America is dead.

We Outnumber Them.

What’s the population of the USA?
How many registered voters voted?
And the Dems who are voting for the resolution are simply trying to minimize harm to Americans. Not out of fear or lack of backbone.

Destroy the federal government, public education, national parks, NATO, our international standing, foreign relations, and the climate.
Let's see how it works out for them.

I’m convinced the only way to snap Republicans and MAGAs out of their stupors is to let them suffer the consequences of their votes.
They are the kind of people that have to learn things the hard way.
