🚨 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.

I literally cannot believe "real" scientists tolerate the journal submission process (in this case at N*****). It's literally unbelievable cumbersome and putrid. And you pay for this.
