@GottaLaff I'm no lawyer, but I recall in past govt closure threats, that a govt shutdown does not necessarily slowdown the courts. I wonder if the Dems have considered not voting for cloture, thereby forcing Thune to get rid of the filibuster altogether. GOP wins anyway. BUT if Dems narrowly win the Senate back...they can justify no filibusting and push through a LOT of important stuff. Dangerous gamble, but in some ways, what more can we lose??🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ #DemocratsInArray

Let’s hope so 🤞🏼

Via Prof. Angus Johnston:

"Our caucus is unified," says Schumer.

Team Fight has won the CR battle in the Senate Democratic caucus.

Semafor:

Schumer on Senate floor: "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path"

"Because of that Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified" on the month-long CR

The New York Times · Shutdown Looms as Democrats Say They Won’t Back Spending BillBy Carl Hulse

There are college educated American voters who want to know why #democrats didn't support McCarthy today and stop the chaos. They're engaged voters, and they don't know why #DemocratsInArray voted against him.

It doesn't matter to them that the majority chooses their own speaker. They wonder why our government can't function normally. They vote for Dems, and they're blaming them.

I know bc my wife is one of these voters that isn't plugged in to media-on-demand.

#DemocratsInArray "#Democratic governors in 20 states are launching a network intended to strengthen #abortion access"

KEY TAKEAWAY: Tearing a highly effective page from Koch-backed #ALEC, group is "sharing model statutory language and executive orders" as pre-positioned legislative armament. YES!
