If I have to call my Senators (we each have two), we are in a bigger mess than I can imagine. #SenCantwell #SenMurray
Sen Patty Murray did a brilliant job explaining that this admin MUST follow the laws as written.
Everything about this admin is lawless and wrong.
Mr. Lutnik thinks they get to cherry pick laws to follow and what gets funded.

The basic fact that Congress has the power of the purse is something Republicans and Democrats agree on,” #SenMurray said on the floor. “And it won’t change no matter what Trump or Russ Vought or Elon Musk claim. Their legal theories are plain outlandish, and so are their facts.”
(quote from Democratic Senator Tim Kaine) Senator Kaine put it with great clarity: "Democrats had nothing to do with this bill. And we want an opportunity to get an amendment vote or two. So that's what we are insisting on to vote for cloture." Again, you're giving up "cloture," the 60-vote threshold, in exchange for the ability to offer amendments that will certainly fail.
NO CLOTURE!

A 1mo CR w/minor amendments THAT WILL FAIL ~in exchange for cloture~ is fatal. It unintentionally sabotages America.
EVERY SENATOR MUST USE THEIR LEVERAGE PROPERLY BY VOTING:
• NO CLOTURE
• NO CR
• NO PERFORMATIVE FLOOR REVISIONS
• NO TO PERMANENT GOP SHUTDOWN OF AMERICA
