Senate dems should all vote against the House CR, shutdown be damned. But they need to publicly explain why much more coherently than they currently are. If not, the public narrative will be "see, the dems shut down the gov't!", and the GOP will be spouting that refrain until the mid-terms.

But Schumer has already doubled down in a speech on the Senate floor this morning. He still believes a shutdown will do more damage by allowing Musk/Trump to accelerate the destruction of gov't. Any validity to that view?

Nancy agrees:

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
