2. Should have voted No back in March,

Before the Big Ugly Death Bill became law of the land. Now Dems are handcuffed by only fighting to keeping the Obamacare reimbursements. Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, VA, Social Security, and other noble programs have been gutted and made into law by passing the Big Ugly Death Bill.

Voting for the CR back in March gave Krasnov everything he wanted from Congress, Krasnov doesn't need Congress anymore.

These are the only Dems, except for 1 House Dem from Maine, who voted for the CR back in March. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats voted No.



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
