Senate Democrats are waking up: Hickenlooper said this morning he was leaning towards backing the CR.
But at a town hall tonight he publicly commits to voting No — including on cloture.
Keep calling. Keep up the pressure.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Our farmers will lose billions in USAID cuts.
His tariffs will not make up the shortfall, because most of the produce coming in does not compete with local produce.
People aren't going to buy more Idaho potatoes because Mexican bananas cost more.
+ labor shortages.
The fuckening continues.

Coward, Republican Senator Roger Marshall walked out of his town hall rather than answer a question about veterans being fired.
