- @democrats.senate.gov we need you to stop caring about who gets the blame for a shutdown. You aren't saving face by pretending to fight. There will be pain for us all either way. #shutdown

- Right. I work the shutdowns but not all in my group do, but all will be paid when we get a budget
- So are we ready for the #Trump/Musk shutdown?

- And those who aren't exempt will too
- The weeks of performative “resistance” from those in my party were limited to undignified antics. Voting to shut the government down will punish millions or risk a recession. I disagree with many points in the CR, but I will never vote to shut our government down.
- Seriously looks like PA now has two Republicans in the Senate. You are not fighting for us
- @fetterman.senate.gov We need you to be the Democrat we elected. Since we will suffer either way the Senate needs to stop handing everything over without a fight.

- Ha! I worked very hard to put together 5 bullet points that said absolutely nothing so they deserve another round.
- Yeah, probably no more direction than the last time. I will copy paste my initial response, I wasted enough time on this
- City people vs rural people jokes are timeless, but I have never once met a city person who had real animosity for rural people. Meanwhile there are entire books about how rural people have been radicalized to hate city people.

- My people were farmers a couple generations ago and I have nothing but respect for those who live that life. As a city person I mostly see a lack of knowledge about farming. The annoying ones think they could do it.
- The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

- Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.
- I'm wondering why we were to Cc our supervisor. Is the game to have them cut their own personnel?

- Shut down the government if you have to - I work for the government and will go in unpaid for the time being - but we aren't seeing enough resistance from them.

- 🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
