Republicans are in charge of everything. If the government shuts down, it's on them. I'm transparent about how you get my vote. And it's not hard. I just need a budget that doesn't destroy our health care system, and funds democracy, not totalitarianism and corruption.
No negotiation with MAGA terrorists. Shut down the government and let MAGA own it. Any Democratic support for this manufactured budget "crisis" will be interpreted as support for MAGA and autocracy. Shut. It. Down.
Don't cave.
Tell Schumer not to give in.
Please ask Mr. Schumer, if the US is in a constitutional crisis now? Would shutting down the govt. stop DonOld even for a short while? The US could really use the break.

Please vote no on extending the budget. Shutting down is the only way at this moment for Dems to get a toehold. Please get all Dems to vote no. Please. Don’t bring a toothpick to a knife fight. Fight fire with fire.
Or how about simply shutting it down to save our country from a tyrant authoritarian and his accomplices in Congress. No negotiation. No bargains. Just shut it down.
good idea. and in doing that many lives can be saved, home and abroad.
Yeah we’re all well aware that the rest of you spineless weaklings will happily “avoid a shutdown” by throwing marginalized demographics under the bus of blatant fascism.
Shut it Down.
DO NOT CAVE!!!
When the government is fascist, don't fund it.
Tell your colleagues!
What is Schumer planning?
Though the dems might find a general strike useful too.
Theres a pedophile in the white house dude. Shut it down.
Let your view of our budget be how every Member of Congress sees a 2026 budget….VOTING AGAINST TOTALITARIANISM AND CORRUPTION
if fucking @schumer.senate.gov caves to these fascists again, the democratic party is in serious peril
Don't worry, Thune is about to blow up the senate.
senator, how can we agree to fund this vile corruption?
Don't support anything that doesn't STOP FASCISM. No government is better than one that actively harms it's people.
Everything trump and his cabal have done, all the destruction and cruelty, is on the Republicans. They are in charge and they have allowed it.
OK, in specific terms, Senator, what are your red lines? What does "destroy our health care system" mean, and what is "funds democracy"? Seems mighty vague. I'd love more concrete details.
agree, from the senator that was bragging that Biden deported more people with ICE than trump, kind of a big deal
If they can't follow the law, they shouldn't get your vote Senator. Thanks for standing up for law and democracy.
We're going to need you to voice some support for rescission reform. Cant' agree to a bill that needs 60 votes if they can roll back that budget with 50 votes (or no votes at all)
YES an easy straight forward germane ask that they wont agree to!!
They being the Republicans
Why? They will not hold up their end of the bargain. Shut it down. Also, I think we have all but confirmed this man is a child rapist and should be removed from office, not negotiated with.
There had better not be any D deals or acquiesce. Voters WILL remember.
Absolutely! Good thoughts on a strategy in this piece: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...
Claw back fed research grants that have been unconstitutionally terminated!
In full support of a Democrat led shutdown. The absolute capitulation and handover to the Orange King is an abdication of the legislative (and Supreme Court’s) DUTY/RESPONSIBILITY TO LEGISLATE AND PROVIDE A BALANCE TO THE THREE GOVERNING ENTITIES in what left of our government.
even if you get an agreement, why do you think trump and his lackeys will even honor it and will not claw it back in recission let them be on the political hook for it, cause you KNOW that if you cave like schumer did in March, its not going to make a difference Just my Cdn opinion, watching sadly
Charles is correct. Don't give them an inch. bsky.app/profile/char...
Thank you. Stick to your guns.
@heinrich.senate.gov and @lujan.senate.gov, as your constituent who voted for both of you, I hope you take a similar stand. A vote to fund this government is complicity in this authoritarian regime.
💯 Thank you, Sen. Murphy. Refusing to fund this authoritarian regime is the only responsible, patriotic decision at this point, imo.
What they are fighting over is how to swiftly DEfund our government so it fails and we become a dictatorship. That’s what they want
Please don’t treat this pedofile felons admin like business as usual. Let it shut down. Make maga own their lawlessness
SHUT IT DOWN until they RESTORE THE BUDGET CUTS SND TAX THE RICH.
Shut it down, Murphy. Get those NG off our streets. No masked overly armed men terrorizing our neighborhood. Fund our services. Or shut it down.
SHUT THE GVT DOWN!!!!
THANK YOU, please make sure the rest of the dems are on board with this!! No spinelessness.
Schumer better not do another Schumer
SHUT IT DOWN!! Concerned citizen who can’t afford a government shut down but wants one anyway!!
I like this framing. Democrats are not “shutting the government down.” Republicans will earn votes for a budget that reasonably addresses the people’s issues and needs.
Shut it down!!!! Im ready to suffer for democracy and to see those silly ass republicans twist.
They’ve already shut down the government with impoundment, layoffs, recisions, firings, misappropriating funds, & moving staff between departments. So … what’s does it cost to hold them account and attempt to enforce the law?
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social shut the whole damn thing DOWN
Please don't have this be a repeat of earlier this year. It should be a little harder than that.
SHUT IT DOWN NOW
Lets align the demands of dems in congress. Three of four specific items trump needs to humiliatingly cave on to get a few democrat votes in the senate. Something on graft (make him give back the $ from crypto dinner?), health/science (restore NOAA? reappoint original vax commitee?). And ukraine.
Thank you Senator!
They are just going to recession away anything they would promise you anyway.
Return the budgets of ICE and NG back to where they were before... all this. Restore funding of health and science. Make sure SS stays solvent (cap removal). Let's not spend billions on illegal plane touchups, department renaming and the LOADS of other frivolous vanity nonsense.
Thank you! Please make sure @schumer.senate.gov doesn’t cave like he did last spring!
