Susan Rice (!) taking a strong position on cloture and CR. (Rice is nothing if not centrist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Rice.) Apologies for screenshot from bird site; this is an emergency.
Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice .. . Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government? WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.
