   Tough decision for Dem Senators.

   Vote down the budget bill and shut down the government OR fold and vote to allow the MAGAts to dismantle it anyway, which they are going to do regardless of any budget passed.

   If you're got a lose/lose hand at least stand up and own the fight.

     @WarnerCrocker The Dems will cave because they don't want to be the face of the shutdown and don't want to be the face of the opposition either.

     @WarnerCrocker with what happens next, nobody will remember a shutdown in 2026.

     @WarnerCrocker Try a different framing, even though I realize the legacy media will fail.

     The Republicans will be shutting down the government. The Republicans are doing this. They are extremists using the budget to harm the American people and national security. Democrats should not collaborate. President Musk is shutting things down and disabling agencies while Trump is placing entirely corrupt individuals in charge of them. The framing needs to be on what the Republicans are doing, and not of Democrats who will not collaborate with causing damage.

     @Nonya_Bidniss I agree with your point. That said, the frame doesn't matter if what's framed is a disaster.

     @WarnerCrocker Dems should stand on no cuts to social security and Medicare. Their spokespersons should be people who can make a case, AOC, Crockett, etc. Don’t surrender ahead of time. Make the GOP own their politics.
