Governor Gavin Newsom on Twitter a few moments ago
Regarding Democrat Senators who caved
Agree with you Governor 💯

So @underthedesknews.bsky.social is urging folks to call your Senators especially if they are the 8 yes votes and demand they vote no on the next round. This isn’t over. Like I said earlier: it’s boots on necks time. We raise hell and we don’t abandon folks w/ ACA.

YouTube video by Eliza Orlins Shutdown NOT Over: What Tonight’s Senate Vote Actually Means

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'...

They tumble to the ground, still fighting each other, as Blue and Green watch, fascinated. Green: Tiny bird brawling season. Blue: The brutal beauty of nature.

If Watergate happened today, it would just be Saturday and forgotten the next week.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
