Lawyer that examined the CR says nothing in there would lead to shutdown of courts, which regime ignores anyway. A govt shutdown would help stop DOGE tho, which has already shutdown half the govt without congress. @schumer.senate.gov Fax/email YOUR senators this morning. resist.bot/petitions/PA...
Tell your senators: Vote no and replace Schumer! Itβs a sea of bad options but we would be better to suffer a government shut-down than suffer the loss of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the loss of our demcracy itself. Email and fax your senators before Friday! resist.bot/petitions/PH...
Some of us arenβt messing around. Viral petition circulates for boycott of donations to Senate Dems until they oppose the MAGA budget. @aoc.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Hereβs copy of the letter I just faxed to my AZ Senators. Feel free to do the same by texting SIGN PALFNJ to 50409 and Resistbot will fax or email the letter - your choice - immediately. Do it now. They vote on Friday. Schumer has disgracefully surrendered. You can also telephone (202) 224-3121.
Schumer is lying. "Would federal courts shut down? According to the House Committee on the Judiciary, Office of the U.S. Courts (AO) has said that the Federal Judiciary would not have to shut down immediately because of the availability of other sources of funds." latta.house.gov/faqgovernmen...
This is a video of Lubbock drowning in a dust storm. I have lived in West Texas most of my life and have never seen dust storms like this. It's very fine like talcum powder and gritty, probably not good for lungs. This crap has been blowing in my direction for the last few hours.
Why are people asking me to "thank" our representatives and senators WHO ARE DOING THIER GODDAMNED JOB? They get my tax money to fuck us over, I'm not thanking a fucking one of them until I see results. Till then, they can fuck themselves. SORRY/NOTFUCKINGSORRY
Stop with your usual rising-above-it crap. It's past time for you to join us in the fight for democracy. These are not ordinary times. A fascist administration is taking over our government. This is not the time for you to be nice. Represent Democrats, dammit, or step aside.
Tell your senators via fax or email this morning to vote no on cloture and the budget. A grand total of 11 people out of my 23,000 followers have done it so far. It calls for Schumer to step down and allow someone else to battle the anti-Social Security, Medicaid budget. resist.bot/petitions/PA...
