I'll add replies for specific people to call other than your own Democratic Senators.
There's still time to call your Senators against the cloture vote today, but you've got to do it RIGHT NOW.
Cortez-Masto is wavery, call her:
There's still time to call THESE PARTICULAR Senators against the cloture vote today, but you've got to do it NOW.
CONSTITUENTS of these Senators need to call them RIGHT NOW
House leaders are speaking against this bill right now, urging the wavering Democrats to vote NO. Voters: "You are betraying us."
Senate's voting on a Fentanyl bill, delaying a vote on cloture. There's still time to call. KEEP CALLING.
[ETA 1:42pm Cascadia/Pacific time: voting in progress] The vote on the Fentanyl bill is wrapping up, the next vote is on budget CR cloture.
KEEP CALLING, THERE IS STILL TIME
We want this going to the last possible second. That includes THROUGHOUT THE VOTE. That's because Senators can change their votes up 'til the vote is gavelled closed.
KEEP CALLING!

A lot of calls are being sent to voicemail, that's because of the flood. DO LEAVE VOICEMAIL. Then try again if you can.
Most offices are still taking live calls once staff are freed up. This has to be a hurricane.
Here's more contact information for Cortez-Masto in particular (several links):
Senate votes move slowly. They're still on the Fentanyl vote. The cloture vote hasn't even started yet.
KEEP CALLING. THERE IS STILL TIME.
AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO CALL - particularly if they're constituents OR gave money to the Senators in question.

Okay, Fentanyl vote is over. They're moving to cloture.
KEEP CALLING.
Roll-call now.
20 minutes for debate started 12:11 pm Cascadian/Pacific time.
KEEP CALLING. Get your FRIENDS to call, particularly if they're a constituent of any of the questionable Democrats!
Rand Paul going off about how the budget bill still spends too _much_, yeah yeah yeah you'll vote for it anyway why are you even bothering to posture, you supercilious fuck.
christ he's so tiresome
Wants to offer an amendment to add more codification of Musk/DOGE than is already in the bill.
keep calling. if they're stalling, maybe they don't have the votes. remember, they're pressuring Democrats too.
fuck, I just lost the feed. i think it's on c-span's side.
I ... _think_ it's back? Not all the "live" buttons are lit up but the time on screen is basically right.
(They're running simultaneous of the Senate while the debate clock runs out and Rubio's remarks in Canada defending Trump and tariffs earlier.)
STILL TIME TO CALL KEEP CALLING

it's amazing how much drama can be subsumed into so much boredom
@moira Star Wars completely mislead me about how exciting it would be to watch the Senate sign away their powers to a fascist overlord.
@xgranade What in the world?
No, the Senate does not have the authority to sign away their powers. Their powers are codified above them, and it would take constitutional amendment for them to give up their powers.
All the rest is people just running around with exaggerated craziness that doesn't understand basic civics.
