Not here to post or for follows. Just a dog lover and history nerd who likes to follow news and read what smart people think about it.
I understand that it’s the truth and there isn’t much else she and other Dems can do right now.
That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t set expectations for when/if they get back into power, and let them know what it will take to earn our votes. Just being a more benign alternative isn’t enough.

I’m still not hearing “abolish and prosecute,” Senator Murray.

They don’t need to be reined in. They need to be abolished and prosecuted.

Are you serious?!?! It “raises questions”?! You are so disappointing. At this point, I’m convinced you approve of this bullshit. As one of your constituents, I look forward to voting for a serious fighter who will primary you.

That’s right. And you all just proved that if he takes the right kind of hostage (disrupting travel plans for you and yours, not weaponizing hunger) you’ll roll over and let him do whatever he wants.
Replace Schumer and Durbin now.

I have that same story swimming in my head, and the only thing I’d watched with him was the Pod Save interview. He talks about it at the 33 min mark

@cantwell.senate.gov you treating this as a misguided policy to combat fentanyl gives too much legitimacy to this dangerous authoritarian move and shows once again how you are not taking this fascist administration’s actions with the seriousness they merit. You are not up for the fight we are in.

Maybe there would be more pressure to come to a ceasefire if we stopped arming Israel. It’s a shame that you’ll sign a letter but vote against a weapons ban. Nice try, but this is weak sauce.

Really disappointed to see @cantwell.senate.gov on this list. Not surprised after that photo with Bibi, but still disappointed. Hopefully she gets a decent challenger to primary her!

As one of your constituents, thank you for taking action!

As one of your constituents I really need you to clearly state that you are a NO on cloture and a NO on the CR.

Once again, Senator Murray, what are you going to vote NO on? Cloture? Or just the CR? Voting yes on cloture so you can vote no on the CR that will pass without problem is performative bull shit. Please stop being vague. Where do you actually stand?

Weak. Cowardly. Pathetic. Shameful.

What about cloture?! You keep saying you’ll vote no on the CR, but that will be absolutely meaningless if you vote yes on cloture. Speak clearly, Senator!

How are you voting on cloture? We know a yes on cloture is essentially a yes on the CR. Your words will be meaningless.

Please don’t follow Schumer’s lead. Vote no on cloture and no on the CR.

Then what is Schumer doing? All of you Dem Senators need to vote no on cloture and no on the CR. We’re not stupid, and a vote for cloture is collaboration. Get Chuck out of there!

Hi! Thought I’d follow up the voicemail & email I’ve just left for Sen. Cantwell here on the off chance I was right about you being one of her staff.
Cantwell should vote NO on cloture & NO on the continuing resolution today. Don’t help the GOP. Govt is already being shut down. Fight! Oppose them!

I’m getting the same condescending vibe I got from her staff from you. I’m glad she stopped voting for trump’s nominees. Would it be better if I kept repeating “don’t vote for any of their bills” so she knows what I want, as her constituent? Would that be ok with you? Via that website, of course.
