Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

If you’re wondering who The Reformers are…

It’s us.

Normal democrats.
Big tent democrats.
Working democrats. Progressive democrats.

All of us.

And we’re demanding reform… and we’re willing to do the work.

The first order of business is replacing party leadership.
