A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

it doesn't matter if the CR was bad or anywhere near good; as long as lawlessnes reigns supreme in Washington you don't vote for a single GOP bill or a single GOP nominee, why is this so fuckin' hard to understand

If you are in NY or have another Dem senator who seems ready to cave on cloture for this enabling act of a continuing resolution, call them right now and make clear that no on cloture is the minimum they can do to defend democracy. If a Democrat, Schumer must go from leadership right away.

Passing the bill he wants passed gives him more power. Not passing the bill he wants takes away from his power. Pls stop insulting everyone’s intelligence.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

Lukewarm take: people with large followings should take care that they aren't just spreading cynicism and misery when they're urging an action. "Here's a plan that's been floated. Call ### to let them know what you think" is miles away from clickbaiting "you're about to be stabbed in the back!!!"

*IF* this proves to be true, I damned well better see the Dem base RALLYING AROUND THEM as loudly & strongly as they've been ripping on them until now. They're gonna need it, too, because the concerns about Dems being blamed for a shutdown *are* legit given how shitty the media is.

Rose DeLauro really understood the assignment when she released her 1 month actually-clean CR because it gives you/Democratic Senators (& hell Republican Senators) something they can advocate FOR as an affirmative out. Keep that in mind while calling.

These Senators are on the fence about voting NO on the CR: Elissa Slotkin (MI) Gary Peters (MI) Jacky Rosen (NV) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jon Ossoff (GA) John Hickenlooper (CO) Michael Bennett (CO) Mark Kelly (AZ) Peter Welch (VT) Mark Warner (VA) Time Kaine (VA) Call (202) 224-3121
