House dems are PISSED at what Schumer just did. This is the case where outside voices are maximally helpful - when people on the inside of the party want him out. Let's build continued pressure. This will not happen overnight, it will happened when we keep the pressure consistently high

I can’t find a list of the ten democratic senators that voted no. Can someone help me out?

Found them:

In addition to Schumer, nine other Democrats voted to advance the bill: Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Gary Peters of Michigan, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, and Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with Democrats.

I assume you mean voted yes to allow the bill to advance. Voting no didn't allow the bill to advance. Here's all of the dems who yes to allow it through cloture and their publicly listed contacts

Thanks, I found them. And yes, I meant “no” to shutdown the government.

These are the Democrats (plus Angus King)

to clarify for others, Angus King is technically an independent but caucuses with dems. Kind of like what Bernie does (except Bernie has a spine and didn't vote for cloture here)
