Jessica: When I hear Republicans out there talking about their plan for education in America, I don't hear them talking about making sure disabled kids have access to a public education.

It’s not about trimming fat- this is ripping the guts out. People with #MECFS and #LongCOVID will suffer and research pushed back to the dark ages. A new dark age for science has begun.

Then that shutdown is on them!!! Their cherry-picked re-opening is their doing.

Do not help them!

They are already stripping out the government- why help them?!?!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
