Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Every Senate Democrat who voted "yes" to handing power to our ascendant dictatorship is a collaborator.

This country is a mouldering corpse now. We are just cells that don't know they're dead yet.

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.

Guidance from HHS has finally arrived, and we are pleased that someone, somewhere, possessed a spine. TL;DR - HHS employees do not have to respond to the "What did you do last week email", and if they choose to anyways, "assume that what you write will be read by MALIGN FOREIGN ACTORS".

The average federal employee salary is $106,462.

There were approx 1.8M federal employees, but let's say 1.7M due to resignations and illegal firings.

All of them take 5 minutes responding to a micromanaging, intentionally insulting email.

~$7,200,000 in wasted taxpayer money.

Is no one else deeply concerned about the Christian nationalist right's faux concern about and (for lack of a better word), weaponization of anti-semitism?

I'm not Jewish nor am I involved in any heavily Jewish communities, but surely people aren't taking this push at face value??

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.

It's deadly to the US economy.

The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.
2. While NSF and NIH indeed have a mission to fund specific research innovations via grantmaking, they do a lot more than that.

Their principal role is support a scientific ecosystem in the United States, that includes everything from education and training to infrastructure and communication.
