Ds should insist on a floor vote in both houses with no D assistance, on Rs’ CR. When it fails, voter'll know who to blame if the govt shuts down. That should also help focus everyone: What do Ds want in exchange for bailing out Rs’ from their utter incompetence?

This administration's immigration policy is fundamentally sick.
Trump has wrongly detained lawful green card holders and even CITIZENS. No one should assume this was necessary.
These firefighters put their lives on the line for us ALL and Trump is detaining them.

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest
Documents reviewed by The Post detail a new National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

This is at the top of the list of Trump's massive corruption. He's literally stealing money from us.
In this case, he's going to spend $1 billion (THATS A LOT OF MONEY!) of our $$ to build himself a luxury plane that he is going to take with him after he leaves.
Honestly...

In a blow to press freedom, the U.S. Justice Department announced on Friday its decision to rescind guidelines that protected against the seizure of journalists’ phone records and other reporting material. Source protection is vital to reporting on public interest issues.

Boosting this about the PRESS act.
Remember, this needs to be passed right now, and Schumer has the power to move it forward. It's already passed the House.
New Yorkers? Help lead the charge.

![Call your Senators on the PRESS Act (11.14.2024)
YOU: Hi, my name is [name], and I’m calling from [address/zip code].
YOU: I’m calling, because I’m calling on [SENATOR] to support the PRESS Act. It’s been almost a full year since the House passed the PRESS Act, and the time to pass this bill is clearly running out.
YOU: The fact that the bill passed in the House under unanimous consent and the fact that Durbin and Graham are both in support of the bill and can help usher it through Senate Judiciary, means that the Senate should take it up on the floor as soon as possible.
FOR SENATE DEMS: I am calling on [SENATOR] to urge Leader Schumer to also prioritize this bill, along with judicial nominations, and get it passed quickly.
FOR SENATE GOP: I am calling on [SENATOR] to vote for the bill once it comes to the floor.
YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS/LET THEM KNOW IF YOU WANT FOLLOW UP]
