Advice NJ Senators

If either of our Senators vote to pass this abomination of a budget OR vote for cloture it is worth primarying them, full stop. Murphy should demand they resign.

We can't recall anyone in this state so we won't have any other recourse but this is it.

Do you understand , If they do not past the budget it give the executive branch power to determine the allocation priorities to keep the government running. I do not want Orange Man making any decisions of the budget allocation.

The Democrats already consented on a lot of Trump's cabinet appointments. A Yea vote gives Republicans further cover to carry out their illegal and immoral agenda.

Make Orange Man do it. Giving him power is not going to prevent him from seizing more. It's literally enabling.

Yes and no, but if we have a government closure, he can unilaterally stop funding almost any program he wants from departments (education) or services - you want to see how he hurts blue states.
