Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

Like many, in my own small way, I've spent the past decade pushing against the Trump-led fascism we're now seeing go into full effect. I've dealt with wave after wave of hate and threats and vitriol. And these jags with actual power couldn't even muster a damn vote to throw up a roadblock. Pathetic.
The final tally to advance the CR is 62-38.
