Rather than leading the Senate opposition to this bad deal, @schumer.senate.gov cleared the way for it to pass – earning the praise of Trump 🤮 We need REAL leadership, and it’s time for Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down. Make your voice heard here: fwwat.ch/41t7W1x
I took action on: Schumer: Step Down
Will you take this quick action to help?

No fight. No strategy. No leadership. Call your senator and tell them to block the House spending bill, even if Minority Leader Schumer won’t. 1-877-247-1820

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

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.
aoc.bsky.social Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · Mar 12
🚨 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.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.
