No time like the present to call your Senators and ask them to vote No on cloture for the continuing resolution until the Musk/Trump administration stops their lawbreaking

    Any D needs to vote no. Republicans control all three branches. They own any shutdown. Seems like it is already shutdown. Fucking Johnson gaslighting Ds telling them they need to do the responsible thing. They can eat me.

      The Dems need to vote No on EVERYTHING. For the next four years, there shouldn’t be a single Dem vote for any MAGA bill, period. The Reps have the majorities in both the House and the Senate, so if they can’t pass it with their own majorities, then that’s their problem to solve, not the Dems. The 10 Dems that voted to censure Greene for his outburst should be strongly primaried. Get in line, or get the fuck out. We’re in a Civil War, and if you aren’t actively fighting against MAGA Treason, then you are a Vichy/Quisling.

      I will be calling my useless Dem congressman today, and informing him of this. I don’t want to see a single vote for any MAGA legislation, not one, or i will vote for any opponent in the primary.

      As much as shutting the government down will hurt, it’s preferable to letting lawlessness go unchecked. DOGE is planning on massive illegal cuts to social services. So putting off pain now will just lead to more pain later. Democrats need to hold the line and not vote for any continuing resolution without hefty strings attached reigning in the administration’s lawless behavior.

      For God’s sake, Trump is illegally deporting people and planning openly political prosecutions. I would prefer the government completely closed down to one run by literal Nazis.

        It’s not going to hurt any less than what they’re doing nowadays with the government “working”. Hell, might even be better. ICE will stop getting their paychecks, too.

        Of course, that all assumes that eel-on-musk didn’t get one of his wish.com wünderkinds to install a backdoor in the fucking treasury department a few weeks ago.
