Another constituent chiming in as a “Hell NO!” on cloture for the destructive CR since I haven’t been able to get through by phone all week. Cloture is one of the few tools left to prevent deep damage and we need you to put it to use.

I’m also hoping that’s a “Hell NO” on cloture, right? With so few parliamentary tools on the table, this is absolutely the time to deny them cloture.

All that to say, as a Chicagoan, parent, and small business owner- I need my Senators, @durbin.senate.gov & @duckworth.senate.gov, to vote NO on cloture and the CR. If the GOP wants to shut down the government by not coming to the table, working across the aisle that’s on them. #Politics

#SenateDems can’t take that framework into the CR vote. A yes on cloture is guaranteeing its passage, even with no Dem support on final passage, no matter how many show amendments get thrown at it- they won’t be adopted.

Also, ABC’s report should be clarified:

The Japanese immigrants at the time didn’t just “not become US Citizens.” Asian immigrants were “Aliens Ineligible for Citizenship” under very racist immigration laws pre-1965. More accurately “were legally ineligible for citizenship because of their race.”

Imagine going out every day and spitting this xenophobic garbage with biracial kids at home…

If I’ve been able to maintain my disdain and scorn for that knockoff lich since he worked for Sessions, I’m definitely not gonna give up now 😂
