I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!
Data shows it can prevent six types of cancer. But anti-vaccine activists, including U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have helped dampen its usage.
Hope Rs who voted for him are pleased with themselves. And remember when I said MAGA Rs back policies that kill kids? MAGA freaked out. I was sadly right. www.thedailybeast.com/rfk-jr-it-wo...
@aoc.bsky.social: "Tax cuts cost money. We have to pay for them. So every dollar that you spend in federal taxes is going to pay for some rich person's G-Wagon. And it's also going to cut an 8-year-old kid with autism's ability to access Medicaid. That's what they are putting on the table."
"I hope they will shoot down the missiles..." – Platon, 4, during a Russian attack on Ukrainian cities.
His mom has Platon sleep on a sled in the entrance of their residential building to keep him safer. She has a small mattress, pillow and blanket there for him.

The US is acting like a Russian asset at the highest lines. Europe cannot count on anything but hurdles to now jump over from the US.
We have a thread on this on our profile. Nothing more than the rich making the rich richer - while ensuring maximum suffering for the middle and lower classes.
7/7 This plan is not just bad #Economics it’s a direct attack on the promises made to the people who needed relief the most. It’s a #BillboardOfBetrayal that highlights how deeply our government has failed those it vowed to serve.
6/7 The result is a brazen redistribution of wealth upward, emboldened by an administration that consistently rewards the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable. #WealthRedistribution #PowerDynamics Rather than safeguarding democracy and ordinary citizens, this policy is a betrayal of Americans.
5/7 Promoting such a plan while claiming to protect middle America is a shameless display of #Hypocrisy. The numbers don’t lie: higher earners celebrate thousands of dollars in newfound savings, while working families watch their tax bills surge. #WorkingClassStruggle
4/7 Hundreds of liberties have been stripped and the constitution has been torn apart. Handouts to millionaires and billionaires come at a direct cost to #HealthCare and #Education further proving that these tax cuts don’t represent lopsided economics, but an assault on the #SocialContract.
3/7 Its implications stretch beyond dollars. By funneling benefits to an elite few, the plan undercuts the broader democratic principle of fair representation. Policies that favor the wealthiest deepen #EconomicInequality laying the groundwork for #Authoritarian tilt. #DemocracyAtRisk
2/7 Far from delivering on pledges to champion “forgotten” Americans, this plan cements the widening between the #UltraRich and everyone else. Behind the façade of helping the #MiddleClass is an agenda that blatantly rewards high-income earners and leaves the “others” grappling with higher taxes.
1/7 This chart shows a stark indictment of a #BrokenPromise. It reveals a system meticulously engineered to pour #TaxBreaks into the pockets of the wealthiest, while everyday Americans—those who were assured relief—end up footing the bill. #WealthInequality #EconomicInjustice
Absolutely malicious. He is further consolidating power by allowing his minons to do as they please with no repercussions. Do not forget:

He is projecting. We will say it again - if a Democrat tried to pull 1% what HAS ALREADY been done by Republicans - there would be riots and stuff would be burning to the ground.
It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, and 2 days to dismantle a constitutional republic. Our present dictator is speed running with a better time.
We’d love to be absolutely wrong - but we are moving towards a far larger shut down. It would come as no surprise if he forces a government shutdown over funding and then orchestrates a fake savior moment to finish consolidating power.
9/9 The message is clear: under Trump, #authoritarians can expect #accommodation, not resistance, while freedom-fighting nations risk betrayal. The stakes could not be higher—when America retreats from defending democracy, it leaves a vacuum quickly filled by those who rule through force and fear.
8/9 This is more than just #revisionist spin—it’s a live, dangerous shift in U.S. policy. By turning a blind eye to Russian aggression and undermining a #democracy in peril, Trump invites further #attacks on democratic nations worldwide. Allies are alarmed, and adversaries see an opening.
7/9 effectively rewards #Moscow’s #land-grab and emboldens other dictators to try the same. By painting Zelenskyy as a dictator and suggesting Ukraine should #capitulate, Trump signals to tyrants everywhere that the United States may abandon its allies when they need us most.
6/9 Trump’s rhetoric on Ukraine also recalls the disastrous appeasement of the 1930s, when aggression was excused and #democracies were #betrayed to stave off conflict. Much like Neville Chamberlain’s ill-fated “peace for our time” pact with Adolf Hitler, Trump’s stance
