Sinema, a former Democrat, spent part of his weekend pointing to liberals who demanded that Democratic senators retain their votes for continuous resolution (CR). The senators, including the leader of the Senate Minority, Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., and nine other Democrats, continued voting 54-46 to pass it.

It is only used to block Dem’s policies. Never block the harmful republicans. It could have shown that we were wrong. Instead, they demonstrated the point.”
