Dear Senators @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov Thank you.

I’m deeply disappointed in Senate Democratic leadership for allowing this bill to pass. The full-year continuing resolution for Fiscal Year 2025 is the greatest transfer of federal spending authority from the Congress to the White House that I have ever seen.

🚨 Cloture vote on the CR is scheduled around 1:15pm ET / 10:15am PT. The vote count is still fluid. Keep calling your Senators! 👉 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

If I’m thinking thru the senate rules right (by no means certain), I think a single D senator can force the voting that’s starts tomorrow to last into the beginning of next week by refusing unanimous consent. That can slow things down and allow the backlash to expand.

Trump and Republicans set this up as an unprecedented power grab so they can slash and burn government services on their terms. I’m a firm NO — on cloture and final passage — on this ‘CR’

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Once again: Democrats see the challenge here not as finding levers to use against Trump, but reducing the pressure on themselves to resist Trump. The obvious solution for many of them is to set up fake fights they will promptly lose, so they can say they tried and go home.

I voted against the continuing resolution in the House. Senators should do the same. This is a bad bill that harms American consumers.

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.

If Republicans wanted to keep the government open, they would have either put forward a clean CR or included Democrats in the negotiations for the 6 month stop-gap. Instead, they jammed in poison pills and DOGE wish-list items. No one can blame Dems for telling them to eat shit.

Senate Democrats, At the end of today, you're either going to own the shutdown or you're going own Trump's agenda of chaos and destruction. Choose wisely.

Are you in any of these states? Then call EXTRA hard! Once you've done that, tell at least 20 friends to do the same. REMEMBER: tell them to vote No on CLOTURE

Why are Senate Democrats acting as though they will be responsible for a government shut down when the Republicans control the White House, Senate and House? If there is a government shut down, it’s on the Republicans – they have control and they are responsible for this abominable bill.

@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."
