Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally.
“Yeah, I don’t get cute with this shit.”

If every Senate Democrat said, "we won't let Musk and Trump do what they're doing to famers, to social security, to cancer research and to every American's health without a hell of a fight" and just repeated that, they'd be shocked by how much of America would be on their side.
“.. We’re just in such a state of shock. We just don’t really even know how to respond,” Gilkerson said. “Everyone thinks all farmers voted for this, but we did not vote for this.”

Schumer wants you to believe both that he can’t do things when he has the majority because of the filibuster and that he can’t stop things when he is in the minority despite the filibuster. Stop trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Can you imagine 8 Republicans breaking ranks and voting for a Democratic CR with no seat at the negotiating table?
Think about that.

19-20 months from now, Trump will have pushed the economy off a cliff and left the civil service a smouldering husk. If you're a Democratic elected and you think a government shutdown from a CR fight is gonna be the thing voters remember, you need your fucking head examined.

Voters respect strength. They respect conviction. They respect having a backbone.
You know what they don't respect? Weakness. Fear. Avoidance.

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.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

🚨 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.
