Wellll. Watch cspan.. follow the chaos ( which is impossible) and know they are Atleast trying to stop the taking down of our government we built for years. They are putting bills in place that republicans won’t vote for because the bills help the middle class and the poor…. So there’s that!!! And as Cory Booker said it is up to the people also to stop this!! Citizens must speak up and hold their representatives accountable!!
Good to see you doing this, Senator! As a European looking on at the catastrophe that your Country has become, you are one of the people whose opinions I trust.
I am glad to see you here, Senator! We need your voice. As a California resident and Democrat, I implore you to vote against the CR. It's time to shut this down before we have no other leverage. This is Musk's doing, let him own it. Republican Senators need to own this as well. Please, most of us are so scared. We really need the leadership of our Democrats in the Senate to lead this country away from the danger caused by the current administration. Thank you.
Ya shut down the government! Don’t vote for the CR so that the Democrats can be blamed for the shutdown. That would play right into the hands of the Republicans. It’s actually quite ironic that when Biden was President we couldn’t have a shut down it would be catastrophic and now a year later when the tables are turned let’s shut the government down. It’s dysfunctional and ridiculous that neither side in our Congress can work together to pass funding of the Government - an essential part of their Constitutional Duty.
Senator Schiff, thank you for your efforts. Keep it up! And, have you considered bringing "Democracy Summer" to California in partnership with Congress rep Jamie Raskin from Maryland? I learned of it recently, and it sounds like a good way to help educate and train more folks to do what you're doing. Check out his website, it has more info. https://jamieraskin.com/democracy-summer/ I think a lot of us would be interested in something like this...
Thanks for the link, Gina….an excellent idea! I’d like to see a 50-state effort by Dems & democracy loving citizens, regardless of party, participate/support this. Especially to motivate and engage those who “tune out” and might sit out from voting. Really needs to be a groundswell w/ our Reps/Senators advocating for it!🗽🇺🇸
Please stand strong!! It looks like the way Democrats and independents in office have navigated politics is no longer effective. Please ACT accordingly…STRONG, FORCEFUL and determined to protect our constitution, our privacy, our environment and the rule of law…etc. Please don’t disappoint me and the people who voted you in office. Vote no the CR and aggressively do what you can to stop this destruction.
Vote NO on the Republican Continuing Resolution. Make the Republicans win a cloture vote by themselves, something they can’t do. If they want Democrats help, they have to agree to stop all the illegal Musk and DOGE efforts take apart our government, end vi Tal federal services and p.under social security, Medicare and Medicaid and our personal data. Don’t offer any bs amendment as a cover to avoid a cloture vote. You can’t enable the Republican’s cowardice in letting Trump and Musk dismantle our government. Use your only leverage.
I previously called your Washington number. I am a constituent. Vote NO on this hijack of the budget process...no input from democrats and no mandate on how the money will be spent. It is a dictators blank checkbook. Ugggh
Thank you! I am not a constituent but have followed you for years. Keep fighting for us because we are fighting for democracy across the country. "It's not O.K." Also, try new tactics- not the traditional stuff. Please get a leader- even if outside the political "club". As an attorney, I am fighting for the rule of law
Here's hoping Senate VOTES NO on the 7-month "Continuing Resolution". Pass a short-term resolution instead, and work together on bipartisan issues for the budget.
This current 7-month CR give Musk and Trump a "blank check" to CONTINUE DESTROYING institutions-- INCLUDING MEDICARE, MEDICAID, and SOCIAL SECURITY.
It also cedes Congress' power to the executive branch. Should this be permitted, even the public vote could be ended.
How about talking about what you and the Dem leadership are DOING to stop the corruption? Many of us would like to know

Hands Off! April 19.

Apologies from California.
Apologies from Massachusetts.
Couldn’t agree more…
Senator, we need you to be more publicly outspoken against Trumpism countering the misinformation and lies with factual and workable alternatives.
The country is desperate for a prominent informed Democratic voice in Washington

Thank you! I've found a few people who make sense these days. You're one of them.
Prepare to run for president. We need your intelligence, leadership and integrity to fight this cancer on our country.

DeLauro, Murray Introduce Short-Term Continuing Resolution, Call on Congress to Pass Bipartisan Funding Bills https://democrats-appropriations.house.gov/news/press-releases/delauro-murray-introduce-short-term-continuing-resolution-call-congress-pass
NYT’s reporting tonight that Sen. Schumer “stunned many of his colleagues” by saying he plans to vote for the CR.
THANK YOU for starting this substack. America is failing fast. Trump MUST BE STOPPED!
