CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

🚨 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.

Working for the government isn't about money. Dedicated civil servants often earn less than their private-sector counterparts. Imagine knowing you could rake in a fortune at a pharmaceutical giant, but instead, you choose to dedicate your life to research at NIH or environmental hazards at the EPA.

Good. Now ask why the hell Speaker Johnson & Senate Majority Leader Thune are doing nothing while a random civilian runs amok violating Congress' powers & laws.

Neither Donald Trump nor Elon Musk has the authority to dissolve USAID. Shutting it down is dangerous and must be stopped.

Not only will this deteriorate U.S. leadership globally, it makes it much more likely that future disease outbreaks will reach our shores.
Trump Administration Closes USAID Headquarters
The move comes as the Department of Government Efficiency pushes to eliminate the foreign-aid agency. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he is the agency’s acting director.
