Cloture vote puts party compromise over bold action needed to tackle crisis. As a constituent, I am profoundly disappointed by your decision alongside Sen. Schumer to support the Republican stopgap spending bill. This capitulation obstructs securing the resources truly needed to serve the people - not corporate interests driving our democracy into a deepening constitutional crisis. At this pivotal juncture, we urgently require audacious progressive leadership steadfastly committed to transformative change through economic justice, racial equity, climate action and systemic reforms no matter the opposition. Your vote signals an alarming willingness to sacrifice core principles for political expediency rather than fight uncompromisingly for the working class you were elected to champion. I implore you to reconsider your approach and match the urgency of this moment with the boldness it demands from our elected representatives.
