No, as someone pointed out in the comments to Lichtenstein's post, when the "real vote" comes up, the barrier for passage is 50 not 60. So this only will work if some Republicans vote against it. It's Trump's party now.
Wait, what???
Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

Harris County!
If Harris shows up, Texas changes. If Harris shows up, Abbott bleeds money. If Harris shows up, a blue 2026 is on the table.
If you live in Harris County, become a precinct chair.
If your precinct already has one, join their team. Knock on ten doors a week. Add ten neighbors to your contact list.

The Times: Members of the House of Representatives.. were told that they should expect votes on a funding measure this week.
Does that mean that Grijalva will be sworn in? Does that mean we could have a vote on the Epstein files?
PLEASE CLARIFY!

Nigeria? Maybe Trump got confused and meant Niagara, thinking that invading Niagara would be the same as invading Canada.
Trump says we are preparing to invade Nigeria. Apparently that’s what voters said they wanted in the exit polls. Trump: “We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not gonna be happy about. Guns-a-blazin!”

But quite useless. F***ing useless.
Infuriating. I'm sure Schumer at this very moment is writing a very strong letter. All caps, boldface maybe. With lots exclamations points. Maybe even a "fuck" or "fucking" here and there.

For the 2nd time this evening, I called both my Senators, Warren and Markey, this time clearly expressing my anger at tonight's Senate vote and urging them, as the first order of business, to call for the removal of Chuck Schumer as minority leader.
Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.
He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.

I just learned that Herbert L. Sussman, my English 1A instructor at U.C. Berkeley, Fall 1964, died this past September. It was a hard course for me. I spoke fluent English, but my secondary education was entirely in Spanish. I remember that course fondly, in particular our reading James Baldwin.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
