Actor Jason Bateman suggests instead of blaming Trump, start blaming his voters (ex: Trump voters just approved kicking 13 mil people off health care).
I LOVE Jason Bateman 💕

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
