This sums up, exactly, the absolute idiocy of yesterday's budget votes in the Senate. Brooklyn and New York and the entire U.S. are being debased by Schumer and these ridiculous Dems.
"I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down."
But you fucking did, though. You fucking did it as your literal next official act. You voted yes on cloture, and then you voted no on the Continuing Resolution.
YOU VOTED TO SHUT OUR GOVERNMENT DOWN. TODAY.

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.
