At least 10 Senate Democrats are expected to support a key procedural motion.

It sounds like a bunch of Democrats want to cave in exchange for no concessions whatsoever. Edit: Bloomberg has more details

Current likely Democratic votes for this:

  • Shaheen - NH
  • Hassan - NH
  • King - ME
  • Fetterman - PA
  • Peters - MI
  • Durbin - IL
  • Warner - VA
  • Kaine - VA
  • Ossoff- GA
  • Warnock - GA

If you want to change things, you need to call their DC office NOW, and leave an email if you can’t.

Edit 2: enough Democrats joined the Republicans to reopen the government with no real concessions.

The list:

  • Durbin
  • Hassan
  • King
  • Cortez Masto
  • Kaine
  • Shaheen
  • Rosen
  • Fetterman
  • Schumer
  • Gillibrand

There was a caucus meeting right before this, so the bulk of the Senate Democrats were likely OK with giving in, even if not willing to vote for it in public

      Hes not your enemy. If you’re a constituent, he is your employee. Give his office a call and let them know how you expect him to perform.

        Those are not mutually exclusive. You could say the same thing about Trump, who is simultaneously the president of the US, and an enemy to the US.

        I mean, do call the fucker, but he is 100% a traitor and an enemy to our country.

        So I am one of Jeanne Shaheen’s constituents (and, NH being a small state, I’ve met her more than once)

        I just sent her office a constituent note

        Compromise was the adult, responsible, and ABSOLUTELY WRONG thing to do. I know your concerns are for your constituents and you are weighing delaying ACA extension versus SNAP and ATCs. That is the wrong calculus. Trump just dared you in a game of brinksmanship. You’re a mother, you know that if you get into a battle of wills with a three-year-old, you damn well better win. Because caving means you are not the one in control anymore.

          This letter is better written than 90% of politicans can speak.

          We need more fucking leftists running for stuff. Local elections!

          We MUST form the left Tea Party and fucking get rid of all the dead democratic weight that’s blocking progress

      He is a disgrace and a disappointment. But, who was he running against? Oz. Oz didn’t even live in the state who and was more pro-Trump than Fetterman the time. So, the choice was between overtly pro-Trump Oz who was living in New Jersey or Pa-living Fetterman who wasn’t overtly pro-Trump until after the stroke.
