She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

I will be voting no on the Continuing Resolution tomorrow. My statement below ⬇️

I cannot tell a lie.

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

There are centrist Dems who dislike party leadership because they're venal careerists and the olds aren't letting go of their positions. There are progressive Dems who dislike party leadership substantively. Remarkable there hasn't been a convergence to sweep Schumer and the rest out by now.

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@schumer.senate.gov get a fucking grip
