If you aren't gonna fight the ever-rising tide of fascism with the very powerful and effective tools you have available as a U. S. Senator, you need to find another job. Or just retire. Don't care which. Just clear your desk into a couple of banker boxes and leave.

Eight Senate Democratic Caucus members broke ranks Sunday and voted to advance a deal to reopen the government.
There are few obvious threads connecting the group who broke the partisan impasse this time.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Trump is the only president in history to sue to stop his own citizens from eating.
& this is bc he & his party shut down the govt to enforce their budget depriving health care from at least 15 million Americans.
