I am pissed beyond belief at the surrender of these Dems to the repig terrorists, IE, Senate repigs.

I will no longer be contributing my generous contributions to those Sen. that capitulated and voted to authorize the CR.
My money will, for now on, be better spent on those Dems that mirror my principles.

and having a hard time thinking straight right now...yeah, I know, rage is not the best background for clear tactical (much less, strategic) thinking...I'm particularly pissed that both Nevadans in the Senate are good with this...these are not the kind of folks I was trying to support while a county chair of D's in one of the "cow counties" NV back in the late 1990s...
...personal note here, MCE: former FMF HM here...after 10 years enlisted (3 in the FMF; worked in one clinic down the block from 3rd CE Bn at Hansen), took a line commission and was a ship driver for 13 yrs...safe travels in your rig and enjoy your next down time...cheers, OSD

go into effect? It sounds like the only way American's can protect other Americans and our democracy is by calling members of the House to demand that the Senate's legislation not be approved.

again shut down.

Sorry, since the Senate vote tonight is unlikely to be approved by the House I am trying to figure how this scenario is advantageous to Ds except to buy time until some appellate decisions are rendered -- like the SNAP decision.
