It's a CAVE to cruel, unconstitutional Republicans and Trump.
Called those Senators and made it clear that if they didn't catch a clue after 7 Million No Kings and Tuesday's Election results they might as well resign now if they cave to the Republicans because they will be loathed for their collaboration with a bunch of truly evil creatures. - Full Stop.
Schumer is the villain here. His effing kids work for Meta and Amazon as lobbyists. Chuck has ALWAYS cut deals (surrender) to McConnell. Folding is what Chuck does. Chuck is a MAGA at heart.
I'm confused over this proposal: The Senate, as soon as this evening, will vote on a motion to reconsider the House-passed CR. This is simply the vehicle. Needs 60. The new CR (Jan. 30 end date) and the 3-bill minibus would eventually be subbed in as the final product. But this process could take several days without a time agreement.”
Will the "new" CR that ends 1-30-26 also require 60 votes AND include extending the ACA subsidies so MAGA needs 60 votes to vote them down, or do they propose giving MAGA 60 votes on 1-30-26 just to extend the CR yet again, and then rely on the liars' promise to extend the subsidies with a simple MAGA majority voting NO?
If that's the proposal I'm gonna say it again, "Are you effing kidding me?" Do that and you're all complicit in this assault on working people. Stop kicking the can down the road and GOVERN for the people!!!
He represents the establishment elitist Democratic party that long ago stopped representing working wage earners while bowing to lobbyists for Wall Street, wealthy corporations and Big Tech, i.e., the oligarchs.
I'm aware; all governments have to fight corruption.
Please learn from our situation as to what can happen without the necessary periodic house cleaning required to keep it from completely destroying all trust in government.
Oaktown. Yes. I am truly hoping that more and more people become aware of what is happening here. Our worst maga leader of the opposition got a tough lesson last week when his progressive conservatives resigned and crossed the floor. He has become more and more toxic, if that’s even possible. It’s looking like we may have a majority government if others follow suit, and it sounds like they might.
?Hmmmm! Nothing from Jeffries! I think they might be going after the new lady sworn in and get the Epstein files? this makes no sense-I think they have something up their sleeve!!
They do. Watch Allison Gill's podcast; she brings the receipts and they are even worse than you suspect. It's too complicated to put here, but I saw her entire podcast on YouTube last night. Now that I'm searching for it on YouTube, it won't come up (hmmm....), but I did find this audio version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvA7wU9Ey94
It's worse than you think. Please share the link and spread the word on this encouraging news:
This week on the Breakdown, sources confirm what’s in the Epstein files is worse than previously known, plus court rulings barring the deployment of the National Guard and restricting ICE and CBP use of force.
Oaktown. I listened to a good part of the video. Allison Gills is remarkable.
Apparently Republicans continue to support a child rapist in spite of the evidence leaking and spewing in their faces. But you know, they’re just girls, young, very young women, and the old boys club, with their billions of dollars, don’t really care about females. Included in the old patriarchal boys club are the old republicans who see females only as chattel.
In Canada, reporting child abuse is the law. No one is exempt. Apparently in the US, the leaders are. I hope they all burn for this.
I called all three of my Democratic reps from Colorado just now I only got Michael Bennett's assistant who said yes there's another vote today and yes they're fairly disappointed and a few other smaller things they asked for but really no details which I find exceedingly disappointing considering they should have a script to read from to tell us exactly what they did and what they expected from that action.
Allison Gill explains the connection between the shutdown and the Epstein files, and it's not just about the House swearing in the AZ rep.
Over thousands of FBI agents have seen what's in the files when they were ordered to redact Trump's name, and it made them sick!! Also, those files—thanks to Bondi's and Patel's incompetence—were put on a network shared by 4 different agencies within two departments with NO restrictions on permission to access to them. That's too many people who now know the revolting truth to prevent the truth from being released to the public by *someone* who can no longer remain silent. See the link in my other reply—and please spread the word.
Don't miss the Allison Gill full podcast to see how close the files are to being released to the public by at least one person out of thousands who had access to them. I just found the YouTube link to Gill's podcast with visuals (and very creative animation graphics at the end).
Please watch and share this; not enough people have seen it and it mos def won't be covered by corporate media. It will give you hope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEi77Ibr7r8
"This week on the Breakdown, sources confirm what’s in the Epstein files is worse than previously known, plus court rulings barring the deployment of the National Guard and restricting ICE and CBP use of force."
Absolutely true. Beginning with his vote for the "Big Beautiful. He pissed us in then and now he's doing it again. I don't consider him any type of congressional member from my state of new York. Sad to say.
I just read in The New York Times that Schumer is not a part of this. Nor is Jeffries. They both left the closed-door party gathering and Schumer said tersely "I am a no". He's surprised us all.
Well, he's not the leader of this splinter group and if he was a part of it, surely he would be their spokesperson. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Angus King are the ones doing the talking. I don't know who else is supporting them, apart from Tim Kaine.
It makes no difference. The traitors are giving the Rethugs 60 votes. Schumer can vote NO to save his face thinking we have stupud written on our forehead.
This is also just more of the middle of the night weekend horseshit behavior as if they think we aren't paying attention and they can once again shit in the American public and then run to their mansions and issue lame excuses.
I will never forgive Schumer or the traitor Dems who caved to tRump and the GOP. And I'll work to see that they pay for this betrayal. Edit: I am so angry I want to...I'd better not say or tRump' s fucking Brownshirts might hunt me down. Damn them!
I am so effing angry. All those weeks wasted and now caving for what exactly?! A “promise” of a vote from untrustworthy Republicans. We made some progress on Tuesday. We can’t get ahead with “leaders” like this.
I understand your frustration Barb O, but WE NEVER STOP VOTING because that is the one act they most desperately want us to surrender.
I draw much inspiration from Ukrainians and ~ 2.5 Centuries of non-white Americans unrelenting commitment to our Constitution.
Some Dems in the Senate are no match for what we witnessed our Fellow Americans do on "NO KINGS DAY" and 4 Nov 2025. We can readily sweep them aside -- but ONLY IF WE VOTE.
I'm already in my 70's. Unless some kind of populist person decides to run for President and has the kind of support needed to win, there is no point to voting. They are all the same. Traitors in suits. The reality is--this IS America. Created as a means of protecting rich mans' property while the poor man gets nothing but lies and promises. I'm done.
Do you have children or grand kids? I understand what you say, but to me checking out before we're totally enslaved is not an acceptable option, bad as all the options are. We no longer have the luxury to check out; that's what got us here in the first place and checking out is exactly what these fascists want you to do.
Don’t stop believing. There are more of us than there are of them. When we vote, we win. Last time, sadly, we didn’t vote. I think we learned a lesson. Hold on.
NYTimes has named: Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen, Tim Kaine. They didn't name any others. "the Democratic splinter group appeared to have received a commitment from Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota and the majority leader, to allow a vote in December on extending the tax credits for a year." Hoop-dee-doo. Thune "will allow" a vote that will surely go nowhere and the ACA subsidies will be gone.
Chuckles is a disgrace! Meidastouch needs to use their huge platform to smoke out Chuckles from leadership and if not the Senate itself. AOC or someone with real principles needs to primary him.
These chickenshits just gave trump and trumpians the wet dream of their cruel lives -- they KILLED OBAMACARE -- Angus King from Maine (an independent who caucuses with Democrats),
Dems suck no other way to say it: impotent, cowards, no plan, no strategies, cant stick together, complicit, care more about their careers and their money than about we the people - useless pieces of shit all of them.
Having trouble believing that our democrat “ leaders” are still caving to Trump and getting nothing real in return. I have to acknowledge that they have learned nothing and are apparently happy to undo so much that had been done to reclaim the party from the horrible mess they made over recent years. Do not give any money to any DNC party fundraising. The DNC is again trying to interfere in candidate selections , which was a complete disaster previously. Give money to good candidates and to fundraising groups not controlled by DNC people. All the top Democratic Party officials need to go now! We have such amazing candidates and they deserve competent party officials supporting them. Schumer and Jeffries and all the DNC members need to go NOW. We cannot afford to tolerate their incompetence any longer. Wake up people.
You're a rude idiot who made no case for your stupid comment. Insults will not get you anywhere. Want to tell us why she "sucks"? I doubt you are capable of making any coherent argument; if you were, you would have made it and dropped the insults.
Agreed Willie. She is entitled to say that. Alot of it is true. What ARE you talking about when you said the head in her ass comment. You like being taken advantage of. That seems like what they are doing.
Caving will only cause more chaos
The trumpthuglicans can not be trusted. The Dems need to follow through. Period.
Just contacted both of my Senators and said something similar. I told them this "deal" will doom the ACA, just like the Repubs want. Hold the line, I said.
And even if ACA subsidies are passed & signed by Trump, he can always change his mind and reverse it. Just like he rescinded (snatched back) funding that was passed by Congress & signed by Biden.
Never happened. They are not going to do shit. They denied project 2025 and right AFTER Shitzenpantz took office . Gave and Oh well by the way, that IS OUR PLAN . Trust them? This is nuts . Not only did nobody listen when warned, now you wanna give the final nail to them and seal the coffins.🤬🤬🤬
My 16 year old grandson is attending the Washington Detroit game in DC. I texted asked him to please boo Trump and flip him off. He replied that he would and had already booed Hegseth. He just texted me a video of loud booing when Trump was on the jumbotron. It’s nice to see family traditions passed on.
I'm very proud of my kids and grandkids. They all have the right attitude. I still remember my 99 year old grandma nodding out in her chair in front of the TV. Then, Ronald Reagan came on the news. She perked up, shook her fist at the TV, and said "look at that son of a bitch!". That's the only time I ever heard her curse.
If any Senate Dem agrees to this surrender they should be primaried. My gosh, it is obvious they are carrying the water for the federal employees union because the union has been pressuring them to end the shutdown. The headline will be and the Trumpists will be sure it reads: Senate Dems pick DC government workers over millions of Americans who depend on the ACA. This plays right into the stereotype about big government Democrats. I can't believe how 'effing stupid this is. There won't be any vote in December. Talk about pissing it all away.
The sad thing is that the Dems will blow this golden opportunity!!! As long as Israel has abortion access...healthcare.....all the weapons they need.........there will be no wage increases and SNAP will always be needed to supplement Walmart workers.
I had a kidney transplant last year. Bills totaled 300k plus and medicare was a lifesaver. Needless to say, after they paid there were still over 60k in bills. Needless to say, Dumps 2k plan would not have helped me, a 76 year old woman on modest social security and county retirement payments.
I swear, I will take the names of these 10 senators and spend every cent I can afford to give to their Democratic opponents. I am sick and tired of this crap, period. Trump lies and our fault will be, we caved AGAIN. Grow some balls and iron vaginas people. Those who only flap their jaws are not the ones who win during a fascist takeover, it's the ones who are strong and stick to their guns. People, this is only the beginning, we HAVE to fight.
Sadly the House (Johnson) won’t come back into session until the Rep Grijalva swearing in is not the Epstein Files passing vote #218. Johnson is extending the deadline at minimum passed the TN 7th District vote and if that doesn’t go GOP then he’ll extend until Trump figures out that the jig is up.
If Kevin Kiley is so worried about the way Holy Mike is conducting the action in the House, then why doesn't he gather up however many fellow Congresscritters he needs and file a motion to vacate the Chair and remove the Speaker?
Scalise won't automatically move up, there will have to be a vote taken to elect a new Speaker.
Who's state is a real run down place. How dare he act so high and mighty when he let's constituents live in some of the conditions Ive seen down there. Went to look at some properties . OMG 😲
Why is that Marjorie Taylor Greene can stop on a dime and explain things like the dangers to buyers from a 50 year mortgage BETTER than Democrats. It's effing incomprehensible.
I am so disgusted by these Dems that want to cave. I kept away from the news until tonight to read you, Ron. I really feel sick.
Nancy "Bunny Boiler" Mace "I Won't Be Ignored, Donald". She's another one they will have to.surgically remove from his butt. I see her getting " Loomered" in her future. Just a feeling.
The PRESIDENTIAL HALL OF FAME in script in gold. He is sick and pathetic. I'm surprised every photo isn't him. Selling Trump wine from his desk and autographing tweets. 😱
I'm glad we have each other too. I don't know what's going to be. I had a horrendous morning and I am just getting to the news and everything now. I was just getting on to YT to see Ben's videos from today. The only good news was they did not come for gay marriage--YET! They can revisit it.
They better. We are already beyond all hope of any other way to continue to fight. If the dems do this., they destroy all we have fought to do to get here. Unacceptable
This asshole has the resolute DESK in MAGALARDO.What in the hell 🙄 HOW ? WHY? His open hate and distain for America is grounds for removal. His treatment of our citizens. Also. His lack of decency is non existent. Just wants to think he is worthy of praise and respect. So he demands it even if its all FAKE . He can be bought by anyone for a compliment. Weak. Petty. Felon
Totally agree. He's trying to look like he's "brave" but he's only out to protect himself. He'd do more good for the country by staying on the bench and making decisions based solely on the rule of law and our Constitution. Instead, he keeps his fat retirement benefits, protects himself from persecution, and leaves those with little or no power twisting in the winds of an ongoing fascist coup. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE, yet that's exactly what he's doing.
Federal judges and their staffs are prohibited by the Judicial Code of Conduct from publicly engaging in political activity of any kind. It’s a condition of the job so if you don’t like it you can do something else (I say this as a retired federal career law clerk who waited 26 years to do protests and support progressive organizations). It’s not a First Amendment issue. Judge Wolf is nearly 80 so he was probably ready to retire anyway.
Democrats cannot cave on a "promise" - we all know the GOP thinks nothing of breaking a promise and telling lies to get what they want. Name the Senators that are talking this way and we will hound them.
It's a CAVE to cruel, unconstitutional Republicans and Trump.
Called those Senators and made it clear that if they didn't catch a clue after 7 Million No Kings and Tuesday's Election results they might as well resign now if they cave to the Republicans because they will be loathed for their collaboration with a bunch of truly evil creatures. - Full Stop.

That's right, quit kicking the can down the road. They took a stand, now they need to keep on standing.
Not a MAGA, but a greedy, lazy person, willing to cave on anything.
He represents the establishment elitist Democratic party that long ago stopped representing working wage earners while bowing to lobbyists for Wall Street, wealthy corporations and Big Tech, i.e., the oligarchs.
Well said. Thank you.
I prefer to call elitist the " predator class) because they are NOT better than us.
Good point.
As Canadians, we do have our problems with corruption. I would never deny that. But this is just an infected cesspool.
I'm aware; all governments have to fight corruption.

On another note Peter Tucker aka Peter aka Pete blocked me again. Lol. I just reminded myself to report him. I will do that.
Saving to watch, share and substack. Thanks.
I understand your disgust with Senator Schumer - He has disgusted me for decades.
That said, as mentioned by others, he's not MAGA.
In many ways he is MUCH WORSE, because he's as PRO-CORPORATIST, ELITIST & WHITE SUPREMACIST as you can find.
His failure to endorse Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani is all anyone needs to know about how corrupt he is.
I called all three of my Democratic reps from Colorado just now I only got Michael Bennett's assistant who said yes there's another vote today and yes they're fairly disappointed and a few other smaller things they asked for but really no details which I find exceedingly disappointing considering they should have a script to read from to tell us exactly what they did and what they expected from that action.
But again no they dont

Good point BF!!
Thank you Fraser!
Absolutely true. Beginning with his vote for the "Big Beautiful. He pissed us in then and now he's doing it again. I don't consider him any type of congressional member from my state of new York. Sad to say.
Good be sure to vote him out
I just read in The New York Times that Schumer is not a part of this. Nor is Jeffries. They both left the closed-door party gathering and Schumer said tersely "I am a no". He's surprised us all.
I don't believe him. But we shall see how Dem base feels/reacts
Well, he's not the leader of this splinter group and if he was a part of it, surely he would be their spokesperson. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Angus King are the ones doing the talking. I don't know who else is supporting them, apart from Tim Kaine.
he's no leader that's for sure
Oh, good to know!! Thanks!
Schumer said he is a "no" vote. We shall see.
It makes no difference. The traitors are giving the Rethugs 60 votes. Schumer can vote NO to save his face thinking we have stupud written on our forehead.
Declan. Well this is interesting about Schumer. Just get these old men waiting for their retirement the hell out!! What a classy bunch of leaders.
This is also just more of the middle of the night weekend horseshit behavior as if they think we aren't paying attention and they can once again shit in the American public and then run to their mansions and issue lame excuses.

If this falls through for ACA, I will never vote for a Democrat again. Actually, I will never vote again because there won't be any point to doing so.
That solves nothing.
If we don't get past this, there won't be a democracy left. We will be living in the gulag.
I understand your frustration Barb O, but WE NEVER STOP VOTING because that is the one act they most desperately want us to surrender.

Don’t stop believing. There are more of us than there are of them. When we vote, we win. Last time, sadly, we didn’t vote. I think we learned a lesson. Hold on.
No, no. We vote for real progressives. The AIPAC owned establishment MAGA lite Democrats need to be primaried.
Yup vote these dems out! They think we will forget - DONT!
I'm 72 and there isn't time any more for me. I'm done. No more voting. There isn't any point.

It's Lucy and that damn football.

asshole
Just contacted both of my Senators and said something similar. I told them this "deal" will doom the ACA, just like the Repubs want. Hold the line, I said.
Not just the republicans in Congress, but don't forget Trump has to sign it as well.
So is that the plan, they pass it and trump vetoes it so they wash their hands and say sorry all of you on ACA, we tried.
And even if ACA subsidies are passed & signed by Trump, he can always change his mind and reverse it. Just like he rescinded (snatched back) funding that was passed by Congress & signed by Biden.
WE tried. THEY FAILED Us.
Nobody will buy it, but you're probably right.
Never happened. They are not going to do shit. They denied project 2025 and right AFTER Shitzenpantz took office . Gave and Oh well by the way, that IS OUR PLAN . Trust them? This is nuts . Not only did nobody listen when warned, now you wanna give the final nail to them and seal the coffins.🤬🤬🤬
Do you think these agreements have anything to do with SNAP?
Maybe no one wants poor children/handicapped to go hungry?????
Let's see if he pays. Or if the money is even there. I dont think he gives a rats ass about people on SNAP
My 16 year old grandson is attending the Washington Detroit game in DC. I texted asked him to please boo Trump and flip him off. He replied that he would and had already booed Hegseth. He just texted me a video of loud booing when Trump was on the jumbotron. It’s nice to see family traditions passed on.
Way to go, Grandpa! 🎉
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Yup, pissing it all away is the right description
I am extremely worried about Democrats caving at this moment they don't get not only the ACA subsidies preferably for two years instead of one,
you know Schumer is going to drive this right into the ground because that's who he is.
We will be blamed for 7 weeks of hardship by everyone in this country
If they cave, so many people who don’t follow the news carefully won’t just blame Schumer. They will blame all Democrats and set back our progress.
Chuckles and Jeffries......and their AIPAC $$$$$.........see the EXIT door please.
Neither do our feckless Dems, even though they keep their gold plated health plans. We need another party.
The sad thing is that the Dems will blow this golden opportunity!!! As long as Israel has abortion access...healthcare.....all the weapons they need.........there will be no wage increases and SNAP will always be needed to supplement Walmart workers.
The level of entitlement and hubris from Maxwell really sticks in my craw.
Amen. We don't want her to be "safe" after what she's done to so many vulnerable girls.
Not to mention, the inmates are losing *their* privileges just because this disgusting pedo sex trafficker lied under oath.
As soon as a Dem President gets in I hope they send her back.
Yeah, I'm so glad Maxwell is happy and safe. How about Virginia Guiffre? 😢 Such bull$hit.
I had a kidney transplant last year. Bills totaled 300k plus and medicare was a lifesaver. Needless to say, after they paid there were still over 60k in bills. Needless to say, Dumps 2k plan would not have helped me, a 76 year old woman on modest social security and county retirement payments.
I swear, I will take the names of these 10 senators and spend every cent I can afford to give to their Democratic opponents. I am sick and tired of this crap, period. Trump lies and our fault will be, we caved AGAIN. Grow some balls and iron vaginas people. Those who only flap their jaws are not the ones who win during a fascist takeover, it's the ones who are strong and stick to their guns. People, this is only the beginning, we HAVE to fight.
Who are the 10 senators? They deserve an award for the hall of shame.
The 10 senators selling out democracy for what? Are they now on the money train or in the Epstein Files?
The 10 Democrat Senators are all retiring.
Sadly the House (Johnson) won’t come back into session until the Rep Grijalva swearing in is not the Epstein Files passing vote #218. Johnson is extending the deadline at minimum passed the TN 7th District vote and if that doesn’t go GOP then he’ll extend until Trump figures out that the jig is up.
If Kevin Kiley is so worried about the way Holy Mike is conducting the action in the House, then why doesn't he gather up however many fellow Congresscritters he needs and file a motion to vacate the Chair and remove the Speaker?
Scalise won't automatically move up, there will have to be a vote taken to elect a new Speaker.
I suspect 1) nobody wants the job and 2) they're afraid of the vote after what happened with the McCarthy fiasco.
Who's the next in the power ladder behind Johnson?
Steve Scalise, R-LA
Another swamp rat.
Go fucking figure
Who's state is a real run down place. How dare he act so high and mighty when he let's constituents live in some of the conditions Ive seen down there. Went to look at some properties . OMG 😲
Bullseye!!!
Why is that Marjorie Taylor Greene can stop on a dime and explain things like the dangers to buyers from a 50 year mortgage BETTER than Democrats. It's effing incomprehensible.
I am so disgusted by these Dems that want to cave. I kept away from the news until tonight to read you, Ron. I really feel sick.
Nancy "Bunny Boiler" Mace "I Won't Be Ignored, Donald". She's another one they will have to.surgically remove from his butt. I see her getting " Loomered" in her future. Just a feeling.
The PRESIDENTIAL HALL OF FAME in script in gold. He is sick and pathetic. I'm surprised every photo isn't him. Selling Trump wine from his desk and autographing tweets. 😱
with all of mace's rage, maybe she strokes out with orange hitler, a 2fer.
hassan, shaheen, welch, ossof, and rest of dems who vote to open govt are traitors.
Bernie is railing to the Senate against caving right now at 8:18 pm EST. Are they listening?
No. They caved. It’s over. And so are we 😭
Good morning sisters. I just realized, we commented ourselves through the worst thing in real time. 😐 I'm glad I have you all. What now ?
I'm glad we have each other too. I don't know what's going to be. I had a horrendous morning and I am just getting to the news and everything now. I was just getting on to YT to see Ben's videos from today. The only good news was they did not come for gay marriage--YET! They can revisit it.
They better. We are already beyond all hope of any other way to continue to fight. If the dems do this., they destroy all we have fought to do to get here. Unacceptable
Ossof? Really?
So disgusting that Biden and Obama are missing from the Presidential Wall!
This asshole has the resolute DESK in MAGALARDO.What in the hell 🙄 HOW ? WHY? His open hate and distain for America is grounds for removal. His treatment of our citizens. Also. His lack of decency is non existent. Just wants to think he is worthy of praise and respect. So he demands it even if its all FAKE . He can be bought by anyone for a compliment. Weak. Petty. Felon
Shameful. He cannot get over them. They haunt him. Good.
Maybe Bunny Boiler Mace make it into a South Park episode, like Pam Blondi, wearing perpetual poop on her nose.
The can title the episode“ Fatal Distraction”. 🤣
That regime is a cavalcade of brown nosing nutjobs.
This is the sick twisted part of this entire game.
Judge Wolf should not have to quit his job, so that he can speak his mind, using his 1st amendment right... such utter BS
Totally agree. He's trying to look like he's "brave" but he's only out to protect himself. He'd do more good for the country by staying on the bench and making decisions based solely on the rule of law and our Constitution. Instead, he keeps his fat retirement benefits, protects himself from persecution, and leaves those with little or no power twisting in the winds of an ongoing fascist coup. DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE, yet that's exactly what he's doing.
Federal judges and their staffs are prohibited by the Judicial Code of Conduct from publicly engaging in political activity of any kind. It’s a condition of the job so if you don’t like it you can do something else (I say this as a retired federal career law clerk who waited 26 years to do protests and support progressive organizations). It’s not a First Amendment issue. Judge Wolf is nearly 80 so he was probably ready to retire anyway.
Thank you, Judge Wolf, for your service and honesty.
Democrats cannot cave on a "promise" - we all know the GOP thinks nothing of breaking a promise and telling lies to get what they want. Name the Senators that are talking this way and we will hound them.
Yes, name them so that we can make sure they are hounded every day. And primaried when the time comes.
Just emailed both of my D senators that I am not in favor of CAVE.
DO NOT CAVE!
