Don’t be fooled by the senators who came out rarin’ to #filibuster only after Schumer's cute little “30-day #CR” play-acting-like-he-was-fighting gambit failed & surrender was a fait accompli. (Looking at you, Schiff.)
The only Senators who showed any actual leadership were the 8 who went public on for filibustering beforehand:
Coons
Kaine
Kim
Markey
Murray
Sanders
Slotkin
Warren

🎯 Beto O'Rourke:
"And notably, in the Senate those #Democrats standing strong included both hardline progressives in safe seats (#BernieSanders) and more moderate members in battleground states (#JonOssoff).

"Even Rand Paul — Rand Paul! — is voting against this CR. Think about that for a second."

"This is a moment for courage. For backbone. For clarity. But instead of rising to meet it, Chuck Schumer chose to fall in line. Perhaps most frustrating is that he reversed course just one day after bragging that Republicans don’t have the votes."

"#Schumer sent… #Democrats into fits of rage… by announcing that he would vote to allow… #Republicans to pass the stopgap #CR.

Democrats have pushed for language in the bill to stop #DOGE from cutting congressionally approved spending, but Schumer argued that Democrats would ultimately lose a shutdown fight"

[So why bother to #fight at all?]

#Trump praised Schumer's "courage" in backing the bill
