‼️ The Senate is voting TODAY on the Republican spending bill that will cut everything from veterans benefits to child cancer research. There’s still time to call your Senators and tell them to vote “NO.” Not sure what to say? Use this script—and then pass it on to a friend!
![The graphic provides a suggested script for callers: ‘Hi, my name is ___, and I’m a resident of [your state]. I’m asking Senator ___ to vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Please, stand against Trump and Elon Musk’s extreme cuts that harm working people while benefiting the richest of the rich. This bill would hurt everyday Americans who rely on public education, Social Security, veterans services, rent subsidies, and so much more.’ At the bottom, a yellow-highlighted section reads ‘Call right now!’ followed by the phone number ‘(202) 224-3121’ in bold white text.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kkowgxq2se4x5lo4zyipch6a/bafkreielahigykyilkfohk3cxzflcvpybrsd5c3zpbgyggd5ulit2atl2i@jpeg)

Just called Senator Klobuchar again at her metro office: 612-727-5220. Got right through to a staffer.
Things are moving quickly, but it looks like these Sen's especially need calls from *constituents* to vote NO on cloture:
Angus King (ME)
Amy Klobuchar (MN)
Jacky Rosen (NV)
Brian Schatz (HI)
Maggie Hassan (NH)
Jeanne Shaheen (NH)
Gary Peters (MI)
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.
People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.
They know exactly what is going on.
Defend Medicaid.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
