I agree with this. What about some of the others leaning towards voting yes. Can they be pressured? Schumer is one vote.
The question is what additional pressure can be brought to bear over next 18 hrs to shake this free. As noted, no on cloture Sens CAN bring pressure to bear if they really want to; reps can too. Ordinary voters can apply more pressure. I see no reason to give in until the votes r cast.

This prediction ensures we'll definitely remember it. Thank you!
I cannot emphasize this enough: no one will remember the shutdown even happened when it’s time to vote next year. One way or the other!

The internet enables the GOP to effectively nationalize and amplify incidents like land acknowledgments or pronoun controversies through their media.
i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.
Elissa Slotkin told Tim Alberta why her response to Trump's joint address did not touch on a laundry list of priorities from various advocacy groups.

Hot tip: The electorate doesn’t like politicians because they retroactively change positions to last year’s dementia grandma Facebook meme.
They like people who proactively take stands. That’s what people mean by strength.
It’s almost irrelevant what you’re talking about. Nobody likes a worm.
