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.

There is still time to stop this!
Constituents of Tim Kaine, John Fetterman, Maggie Hassan, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Jacky Rosen need to call and tell them they will pay if they don't vote against final cloture! #JohnFetterman

A few months ago there was a protest on Roebling Bridge in Cincinnati.
Multiple people were beaten by officers.
One cop was put on “administrative leave”.
The people were protesting ICE kidnapping Ayman Soliman, a chaplain at the local children’s hospital.
He was detained for 73 days.

SEATTLE ELECTIONS UPDATE: Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell by just 91 votes, or 0.04%. About 6,400 ballots are left to be counted, which means the margin will likely remain very small, but Wilson has an edge. A machine recount is almost certain.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
