🚨 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.

UPDATE: Cops are continuing to be brought in to stop Starbucks workers and allies demanding the company settle fair contracts with workers.

It would be better than most military spending to do this - we’d probably learn something amazing too

The group said it signed a $115,000 agreement.

Let it be known this administration rejects "guidance providing recommendations for increasing enrollment of females in clinical trials" because they think gender ideology is bad. 🥴
Every web page ordered restored by the court that features anything related to gender now contains this notice.

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins slams the Trump admin’s NIH cuts as “poorly conceived” and says she has called RFK to “to express my strong opposition to these arbitrary cuts in funding for vital research.” She says he promised to “re-examine this initiative” if confirmed as HHS secretary.
