We have to slam the Republican phone lines. We keep yelling at Dems, but they’re hamstrung either by belief or actual limitations. If we flood the republican offices with calls - and i mean a sustained jamming of the lines - they may start to get a picture of how unpopular this all is. AND USE *67

3/ Trump is bragging that border crossing and immigration in general has plummeted just in the last couple months. But that's actually super bad for the health and resilience of the economy.

Let's go, resistance! Voters of Tomorrow @santiagomayer.com has made it easy for you to email all democratic senators. Keep pressuring them and reposting this post so others can see it and jump in to help! We can do this. LFG!

Santiago Mayer@santiagomayer.com

The team at @votersoftomorrow.org set up a one-click email to all Democratic Senators who are considering voting for this CR. You can use it here 👇 win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

Thoughts from a Dem House aide on Schumer's move: "I think our people need to see us fight for them and we correctly sensed that in the House and did it but the Senators got the fear."

This is going to sound like a shitpost but it's a legitimate question: has anyone made the Senators from NY aware of this

I feel like a bunch of folks are operating under the assumption that the only ability for the admin to fire feds is the doge dipshits when russ vought has been there relatively quietly laying the groundwork for massive RIFs that will be hard pressed to win a legal challenge against

In response to what Schumer is saying on TV: A: The government is ALREADY SHUT DOWN. They’ve been shutting it down since Jan 20, for black people. Perhaps Chuck could acknowledge that?? B: They already have the reins of power. Chuck wants it open so he can continue playing pretend!

Don't let Senate Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov cave to the MAGAs. Tell him we demand Democrats protect our veterans. Please respond and repost so others can find this information and participate by taking action now! We can do this, resisters. We, The People, have the power. Use it!🔥

Veterans are marching across the nation tomorrow, March 14th, to protect their rights. We must help protect them as they protect us. Call your Democratic senators and ask them not to cave to the MAGAs demands. They work for us. Make your voices heard! Find their number on the thread below. 1/2

100% All you have to do is stick to your principles. If you can’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

Chuck reposted

I didn't realize this until now and the point is kind of technical. But it's significant. No one has actually filed for cloture on the bill itself. So that means that even if Dems fold tomorrow this is going to go past the deadline and into shutdown. Setting aside the weird words here's the deal:...

Donald Trump is LITERALLY shutting our government down as we speak. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY. He will continue to do this if they pass the CR. What the actual fuck don’t the Democrats understand about this?!!!

Chuck reposted

This is going to be interesting when they try to return to their offices only to find that in some DC buildings, especially near the white House, doge has moved their families in and are living in previously occupied office spaces... Just walk around DC at night,you'll see them coming & going

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: How about if all places of worship, schools and other public spaces put up signs by their entrances with this simple statement of the law? (This one’s from a Minnesota church). Suggesting it to my temple today. Will report back.

I have a feeling that money is involved in this and some would really prefer money to opposition. Cowards and traitors to everyone who voted for them.

Do away with due process and give all authority to the president. Where have I come across that before? I just can't place it. It'll come to me...

🔥 HOUSE GOP PLAN = TOTAL DISASTER 🔥 Merkley calls the Republican plan “horrific.” And he’s right. The GOP is driving the country toward chaos — AGAIN. Enough of this madness. DEMS NEED TO FIGHT BACK! 👊🚨

Chuck reposted

with Trump telling everyone - today! - that he's going to ignore the CR and impound whatever he wants, this is absolutely monumental malpractice and a complete failure of leadership Schumer's gotta go

SCHUMER just now: "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."
