Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

Oh wow, so it's just total Democratic capitulation. Not even the feeble symbolic votes they usually do.

The Yeas on cloture give the rest of the caucus cover to vote Nay. The Yeas weather the voter outrage, the Nays point out they voted against it. But given the grievous nature of the CR, if the Nays were serious, they'd have the numbers to remove Schumer from leader. If they don't, they're complicit.

Resign.
There is very little about this CR that I like—but there is even less I like about a government shutdown. With Trump & Musk taking a chainsaw to the government’s workforce & illegally freezing funding, the last thing we need to do is plunge our country into further chaos by shutting down the govt.
