A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

@schumer.senate.gov why did u cave? The GOP controls the house, the Senate & the presidency. Y’all just can’t give in like this. It would’ve fallen on the Republicans not the Dems. You guys are fucking spineless. How do you think all of us out here feel who are fighting for this country? Fuck!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 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.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.

People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.

They know exactly what is going on.

Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.
NO on bill.

Democrats divided on whether to shut down government or vote with GOP
Trump needs Senate Democrats’ votes, but they are still weighing whether to use this rare point of leverage and risk taking blame for a shutdown.

The CR passed. 😡

Put the pressure on Senate Dems. The corrupt gqp needs 8 Dems to vote with them.
Fetterman is leaning yes.

We have to talk about the absolutely insane CR the GOP has proposed.

This bill formally abdicates Congressional authority over the budget and allows the Executive to sequester funds for any reason or no reason at all.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Opinion | As a Republican senator who likes to invoke Reagan, I know America can't afford to have a Russian asset running our national intelligence. But it also can't afford for me to have a primary challenger. Therefore, I will be voting for Tulsi Gabbard as DNI.
