Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

I hope you're voting NO on cloture, too, senator. Otherwise, a YES vote on cloture is a tacit YES vote for the CR on the floor, knowing it will inevitably pass with 51+ votes. You can help stop it with a filibuster before it ever gets to the floor.

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.

Personally I would like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to use his podcast to discuss what federal cuts will do to California’s schools, parks, businesses, and research institutions—and how he hopes to mitigate.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov I have called and sent emails to you on this subject as my senators and thought I should do it here too. Please vote No on Cloture and No on the Republican spending bill.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

MAGA Republicans are very strongly for free speech, except for speech they disagree with. Truly courageous.
