There are half a dozen end runs around cloture. He isn’t doing it, which means he wants the shutdown.

That is putting it very mildly.

The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation did a study over the massive cuts to our healthcare and projects they will kill 50,000 Americans per year.

Bernie Sanders shouted this out last night on cable TV, every Democrat needs to shout it out.

Allowing Krasnov/Heritage Foundation/Russell Vought to gut our healthcare will kill 50,000 Americans per year.

Congressional Democrats had better get better at messaging, what they are doing is a matter of life and death.

How about every Congressional Democrat shout out this one message, voting for the CR will kill 50,000 Americans, make the damn message simple so that unwashed Magats can understand it.
