Apparently the Senate will not complete work tonight toward ending the shutdown even with the cooperation of some traitorous Democratic senators who should begin planning alternative jobs outside of politics. This means that tomorrow (remember, Tuesday is a holiday) is THE DAY to tells ALL of these senators how you feel about their abandoning the millions of Americans who need health care, not a useless health care vote. MAKE SURE THEY HEAR FROM YOU!

@lauren

They don't give a warm crap. Their party doesn't give a warm crap. Americans needed to change their non-functioning one-party system 50 years ago, eliminating the Democratic Party and replacing it with an oppostion party. Now it's too late.

For them, for us, for the nation, for a future.

@lauren I guess New Hampshire thinks living free is either losing your house to medical costs or dying. And being homeless in a New England winter is another way to die. So maybe your new slogan should just be "die."

@alcinoe My new slogan is "primary them back to the Stone Age". The GOP has always had "die" in their slogan.

@lauren Today I learned, thanks to you and Emacs, that Tuesday is Shemini Atzeret. It doesn't appear to be a Federal Holiday, but I can see why it would not be the best day to call D.C. offices.

@agreeable_landfall Eh? It's Veterans Day. A federal holiday.

@lauren Ah, sorry. I was looking at October. I'll have to start *reading* things before I run off to look up something unfamiliar.

@lauren Yeah, I was looking at 2025. But I think it's time for me to back away from the keyboard, before I do anything else stupid. Today. ;)

@lauren

Think that the Dems who voted with Republicans were Durbin, Rosen, Cortez Masto, King, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Hassan.
