BAD MOVE: Do not believe Chuck Schumer’s reason for allowing Trump’s continuing resolution!

Sen. Chuck Schumer’s statement that supporting Trump’s continuing resolution was preferable is laughably wrong. It was a capitulation to Trump that tells Republicans that Democrats are timid and can be rolled.

Here is the bill that passed the #senate yesterday averting an orderly shutdown on a date certain, continuing the disorderly one underway, and authorizing MORE CUTS in the next 6 months

it was not a #continuingresolution just like #doge was not and is not about efficiency

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1968/all-actions

Message misses from the opposition
#democrats are tongue tied

#shutdown already underway by #dogees

#continuingresolution was not that - it was a wholly new set of cuts and more authority for the #executivebranch for 6 months

#tariffs are #importtaxes on the end consumer

#trumpSlump #wallstreet and #mainstreet are united against uncertainty introduced by #tusk

Today is a good day to spot unserious people.

Yesterday, demanding that #Democrats filibuster the #Republican #ContinuingResolution could be motivated by one of two opposite reasons: 1) pressure the party to unite behind a single tactic; 2) amplify division over the tactics.

Now that the filibuster didn't happen, ripping into Democrats who refused to do it can only be motivated by reason #2. These are not serious people.

Serious people are moving on to the next opportunity to unite us.

My current boilerplate:

So #ChuckSchumer has -- what's the word I need to choose carefully here? -- capitulated

I knew he would

The #DemocraticParty is old and senile and preparing their Golden Parachutes to gently glide down into the Golden Years of their retirements

They've all got what they want

America can go suck eggs

Then: I've called #PattyMurray and #MariaCantwell repeatedly and got nothing but voicemail after long waits

Last time *I* replied to one of Patty Murray's fund raising emails it was immediately bounced back to *me* with a "User Unknown" error

This, me replying *to* Murray's email list, from an email address I've had since 1998

The Democrats don't want to hear from Americans

The Democrats have checked out and left us all on our own

I just used @5calls to contact my Senators and encourage/thank them in advance for voting no on cloture and the CR.

Encourage your Senators to vote no on Cloture and the CR.

Remember this name:

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) the only House Democrat to support the #ContinuingResolution

It may be futile af but I did it anyway
I called my senators' DC offices & left msgs BEGGING them NOT to support the #ContinuingResolution

I'm a #Senior citizen who's paying down a #StudentLoan out of my #SocialSecurity

I know a #GovernmentShutdown will hurt a lot of people, including me. But this #Fascist junta cannot continue to illegally dismantle agencies & programs we've fought for decades to build.

Please make the call, even if it feels futile

This message should go to your Senators regarding the budget #ContinuingResolution. You will need to copy and paste it into the forms on their websites.

The House passed a stop-gap bill Tuesday to fund the government through September and the Senate must vote on it. The House has gone into recess to force the Senate to accept the bill with no changes.

Dear Senator --

For months Republicans have talked about how they were going to fund their legislative priorities, but here we are again, facing another Continuing Resolution.

In your negotiations in the Senate, constantly remind everyone that the Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 gives the power of the purse to Congress, not the President. The President has no legitimate authority for meddling in the appropriations process.

The Continuing Resolution must include language forbidding the Executive Branch and DOGE from usurping budgetary power from Congress.

Stand firm in your efforts.

PSSST!

Do You Want to Know a Secret?

YOU Have POWER!

Use it NOW by Calling 202-224-3121 and DEMANDING that Your SENATORS Vote NO on the Continuing Resolution (CR)
