No public official should resign solely based on a single vote, even if it was unpopular with their party's base. Musk and Trump are in the middle of executing an illegal partial government shutdown. Democrats must not vote for any spending bill that doesn't address this. Musk and Trump are illegally dismantling critical agencies and programs that protect workers, our environment and the economy, while ignoring Congress in the process. We call on you to take a strong public stance and rally the Senate to reject any spending bill that allows this lawlessness to continue. We call on you to withhold all votes for any spending bill until this stops. This is not politics of the 60's, 70s, 80s not even the 2000s. This is war against Democracy and we - the people of the US - need YOU and your colleagues to fight for us and the safety net programs that Musk and Trump are dismantling. You rolled over and went with them. Many millions of us are disappointed in you and the other who voted with you.
