I don’t normally say, let the government shut down but man this time it wouldn’t be the worst idea ever

Shut. It. Down.

Agreed It’s the only path to showing Congress you still have meaning

I just want to throw up. He is my state's senator, and Schumer has been just useless bag of wind for a long time now. I did a post on my profile with all his office #'s but I fear all the calls will be too late.

Is there anything Dems could do to at least get Musk out of the mix? He has no Constitutional authority but is running the show? How can they - or anyone - get him the heck out of there?

And we can’t help keep THIS government open at the price of Elon and Shitler continuing to kill social security, Medicare, Medicaid. We gotta keep up the fight. People will die—a LOT of people—if they get their way.

Democrats lost the track

Trump is already shutting the government down piece by piece. Let it.

It may all depends on the messaging Dems use. Something about the way GOP messaging is sticking and Dems need to adapt to the opponent.

Yeah the Dems are in a bind with this.

Schumer must know this? What’s up with him? Has he been bought?

Any dem that does not shut the government down needs to be voted out if office. This is the only leverage we have.. so tired of the BS and why we are in the position we are in right now.

Should have written that in your sarcasm font.

I think she was being sarcastic

No no. They said so. Make them use that to pass the budget. Unless you are saying we can't believe Republicans. That would be insane.

Resist Bot!! Stop the anti-Republicans! Message your Senator: Vote NO cloture on the CR - it's the big guns tool the minority has that really works! No cloture = no vote on the floor. Or make a custom message: resist.bot Super easy. resist.bot/petitions/PC...

YEAH- BUT I CAN STILL BE AN ASSHOLE!

PINO, VPINO, F-Elon, M. Johnson, & whole GOP (with both houses), has tried to put Democrats 'in between a rock and a hard place' on this! So we know it's horrible, but the 'lesser of two evils' seems to be for Dems to call their bluff & just say NO! Come back to make a bipartisan plan, or no way! 😲

Guess when Trump talked about his “overwhelming” mandate, he was talking about democrats supporting him…😒

Exactly. It's NOT the Democrats job to pass this CR. They're in the minority.

Join Tim Waltz & Bernie on their tours!

Bottom line: if Dem Senators vote for cloture on the CR, they're voting to protect their own wealth and proximity to power. If they vote against cloture, they're standing up for the constituents who voted them into office

I agree!

Since the dem vote doesn’t factor into a win, why bother voting at all. Maybe they can use this loss in 2026 to hammer home how much damage was done to our country by the head nodding maga gop.

VOTE NO. Yes, shut-down=painful but that pain IS NOTHING compared to torturous >>pain Trump-Musk & GOP planning to inflict upon working Americans. DEMS=Folding now won't stop their plans to inflict >>>pain upon US. The malignant trio have laid their fuse upon this line. Don't light it for them.

Make them do everything on their own. Their votes.

Shut it down..make Republicans own their cruelty

The GOP is dismantling the govt. Shutting things down will be a necessary cease fire on the destruction. Any more DOGE mass firings -- all illegal -- will be front row center.

Given they all appear to be voting no on cloture for one of Trump’s nominees, I’m taking it as a positive sign that they plan to do the same on the CR.

Fight everywhere all the time!

Do you talk to your former “colleagues?” When I see these concerned warnings from many people, I wonder if you (and others) convey your thoughts.

Chuck the cave man 😡

DOGE is already shutting down the government. Why would Dems vote on a CR that Trump/Musk won’t abide? All Dem senators must vote against cloture to stop Trump from steamrolling our democracy out of existence.

@democrats.org and it's "leadership" @schumer.senate.gov can kiss my Italian/German/Irish/Jewish ass.

WTF? what is wrong with you?

Shut it down! They already have the country in chaos! It’s a joke and it is not going to get any better!!!! WAKE UP AMERICA! Stand up! Speak up! Take our country back from oligarchs, dictators, convicted felons and white supremacists!

@chuckschumer.com Don't let up down Vote NO!

I do not believe a government shutdown should be an option. Ever. #NoShutdown

Love how they say this while actively shutting down the government. The QOP is a joke.

Schumer is weak as water .. Schumer has to go .. he is not the man of the moment, actually has never been

Exactly 💯

#traitorchuck

💯

Exactly. Let people see what they voted for. Sorry, crank it up.

@fetterman.senate.gov

Wrong

suno.com/song/a207679... Yup...

The Dem leadership is criminally incompetent. They literally rolled over and didn't get one single concession. How is that even possible? Could they be more lame? We most definitely are on our own. Someone make a list, and then we primary every single senator who voted yes.

thank you. we need to make the republicans own this chaos

It's A bad bill Schumer so vote NO. It's actually a crimminally HORRIBLE bill #ChuckSchumer #BeStrong #GOPbudgetScam

Feckless people piss me off.

Bingo. Vote no. Period. Always. Often.

They’ve practically shut it down as is

Every Democratic House and Senate member should watch this and take action! bsky.app/profile/mark...

What the heck is wrong with Fetterman?

Agreed. The Dems, led by Schumer, are selling out.

And I called bullshit

But then they’ll have FULL control. At least we have the courts now - right!?

all we have left are the courts may they hold during the first Elon team assault aka the coup could've amassed by the millions out into the streets to Washington that action for our people is a fantasy unlike other countries with real life experience here we are millions,words not actions

These Dems in Congress are always playing nice they still don’t get that no one appreciate that they play nice. Certainly not their base and not the republicans. 🤬🤯

Yep exactly it's bs AOC and a small number of dems know what we want. I am tired of these idiots not listening to them.

CNN is running an article blaming the dems today. Disgusting rag.

Democrats once again proving they're controlled opposition, paid off by the same people who bankroll trump's fascism in hopes it makes them profit.

They know!! Aim your daggers at the fascists dude. This is getting boring all your attacks on dems.

Let the GOP own all of it.... hopefully comes back to bite them in the A$$

I'm so tired of Dems not getting it. Show some damn loyalty to the cause. Ffs. Let the Reps do the heavy lifting. Let them take the heat. Stop making their jobs easier or using your vote as a way to manipulate ppl. Gd it.

Heck, muskrat has already shut the government down.

Here We Go Again, #America! #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump and #MAGAGOP - Are At It Again! Remember the Dec 2018-Jan 2019 "Merry Christmas" Government Shutdown! Trump and MAGAGOP Were To Blame Then-And Trump and MAGAGOP Are Completely To Blame Now! America Knows! 🇺🇸 🗽

@schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov You may have noticed that MAGA is already shutting down the government. Give them what they want. #shutitdown

Dems just blew any chance at the 2026 election! Not that I really believe it was going to be free and Fair anyway. But there's a lot of people going to lose hope after this and just not bother!

Tell that moron Fetterman.

No, Democrats should vote for this bill. It only empowers Trump and puts us all in a worse situation.

Right, I sure am not!

We know what Ron Johnson will do. He likes it on his knees. Tammy Baldwin will not bow to Von Fraud Shitzinpantz!!

Preachhhh @adamkinzinger.bsky.social 🙌🏼✔️

You are a willing participant in AR-15s killing school kids.🤷‍♀️

Can they hold out for a clean CR? I mean, I can get the reluctance for being blamed for a shut down. By saying they would support a clean CR they'd show they want to keep the government open, but the poison pills added in the House bill are unacceptable...

So their goal is to be allowed to make their case. And they are making it! Their case is that feigning actual opposition is almost as good as the real thing. And they are! Their case is, feigning of opposition is almost as good as the real thing. But not quite. Persuaded? bsky.app/profile/beve...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov 👆👆

For years Democrats, especially those in the Senate, have allowed the Republicans to do basically whatever they want. And we kept electing them. Time to draw a line in the sand

Some in Democratic leadership will apparently sell out our constitutional republic to the oligarchs who own them.

Say NO! All politicians to learn that word. Or you can use: HELL NO!!!

Why TF does it take money to vote no??? So infuriating. It doesn’t take money to stand up and do the freaking job you were elected to do, which is to represent the will of the voters who put you there. Just do the job, vote no on cloture and this CR and say out loud why. You don’t need money.

It’s ludicrous to vote $3billion to fund Dept of Ed at the same time musk/drumpf are shutting it down. Where are the congressional hearings on all of these cuts to congressional enacted programs?? Rep. Larson (CT) is correct … SHAME, SHAME

Well that sucks! Just another day is the USA.

Makes sense. People fear what happens today. It blinds us to how today will have an affect on tomorrow.

If we don't fight back now, there may be no military retirement checks in the future.

Adam we can still be loud. The squeaky wheel, if you will. Maybe just maybe a key player will “hear” us. Problem is, I’ve seen some childish protests. We need to be smart. Hit them where it hurts in the EGO department. Report facts with receipts. Our goose is in the oven but it’s not cooked yet.

Also WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW? ASK THE VA WORKERS ALREADY FIRED IF THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT A "SHUTDOWN."🙄

It’s Thursday& Trump & his phone line don’t work much. But you can leave a message Tues-Thurs 11-3. 202.456.1111 Every day call your reps and Mike Johnson (202) 225-2777 John Thune (202) 224-2321 Chuck Schumer (202) 224-6542 Hakeem Jefferies (202) 225-5936 Call for impeachment/treason charges

Man, I hate this, but you're not wrong. Dems camping for MFers. Men, RightReps, patriarchy, general arseholes. Stop camping for them! They might wanna fuck you over, but they ain't gonna fuck you ever. If you don't know the difference in those statements, you're hurting your own feelings.

Vichy Dems.

Also, what is the point in passing any kind of budget if congress is going to do nothing while the executive branch just does whatever it wants anyway?

Honestly, is anybody able to do anything anyway right now with the way this chaos is unfolding? You’re not helping anyone but Trump by passing… it just vote no

This is 100% correct. Any elected Democrat who doesn’t get this should consider another career path.

Chuckles Schumer should have been booted a long time ago.

And has for decades.

They don’t have to be evil, like GOP. Just smart and tough. Get down and dirty, but in an intelligent way.

I am too. The time for playing nice ended a long time ago. Like 4 years ago! 🤬

The Govt is ALREADY shut down. We're not going to National Parks this summer- or State parks (USFS/BLM lands). Not safe to fly. Hope our retirement is still intact. Forget federally backed student loans. IT'S ALREADY BEEN UNLAWFULLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY SHUT DOWN. NO ON CLOTURE

Shut it down..you’re not going lose your worthless seats..

For the love of GOD , DEMS….Use what little power you have and deny this bill!!!

DEMS, VOTE NO!

MAGA has never been able to own their own actions. All the know is blame and how to cry victim.

💯

Unfortunately for our nation, democrats just don't know how to do politics. They always want to help out MAGA. The only way to save our country is to win upcoming elections. Don't go along with MAGA, fight them, oppose them.

Who the hell has our backs???? Taxation without REPRESENTATION led to a revolution in 1775. If the 2025 Dems were in charge then, we’d still belong to England.

Shut it down!!!!

Are they caving?!? No!!!!!
