There were about 35 of us in Oxford, Alabama.
We got a lot of traffic and most responses were positive. As I said, even if we pierce the veil of, "I didn't know people were protesting", we've made a difference.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Apparently Schumer won’t let you leave a message. So Write to his chief of staff Mike Lynch (mike_lynch@schumer.senate.gov), his deputy CoS (erin_vaughn@schumer.senate.gov), comms director (alex_nguyen@schumer.senate.gov) and press secretary (allison_biasotti@schumer.senate.gov).

Sure hope people don’t use this information to org protests against Neville Schumer.
Meanwhile Schumer is going on a book tour! Here's all the locations and dates. Sorta weird how he's caving just before the book tour starts!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Just to be clear, a big reason @altssa.altgov.info and I are here is because it's painfully obvious to employees that SSA is being sabotaged. They want it to break so they can kill it and blame us.

We need all your help to spread the word far and wide so these people can't escape responsibility.

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.

Dems should abandon DEI not due to political expediency but because DEI is an immoral and elitist HR framework that everyone hates.
