In a social media post, Sen #PattyMurray, D-WA, called the potential changes "a clear violation of #education & #appropriations #law."

The Education Dept has a dedicated Office of #SpecialEducation & Rehabilitative Services, &, as w/the federal #StudentLoan portfolio, it's unclear how these collective responsibilities on behalf of #children w/ #disabilities could be moved legally w/o a vote of #Congress.

My current boilerplate:

So #ChuckSchumer has -- what's the word I need to choose carefully here? -- capitulated

I knew he would

The #DemocraticParty is old and preparing their Golden Parachutes to gently glide down into the Golden Years of their retirements

They've all got what they want

America can go suck eggs

Then: I've called #PattyMurray and #MariaCantwell repeatedly and got nothing but voicemail after long waits

Last time *I* replied to one of Patty Murray's fund raising emails it was immediately bounced back to *me* with a "User Unknown" error

This, me replying *to* Murray's email list, from an email address I've had since 1998

The Democrats don't want to hear from Americans

The Democrats have checked out and left us all on our own

@indivisibleteam
That’s my Senator kickin ass!
#PattyMurray
#WashingtonState

The EO will disrupt #education & #healthcare programs, #housing assistance, #disaster relief & a host of other initiatives that depend on billions of federal dollars.

#Democrats immediately challenged #Trump's action as unlawful & dangerous.

In a letter to #OMB, US Senator #PattyMurray & US Representative #RoseDeLauro, the top Democrats on the congressional #appropriation cmtes, said the order was "breathtaking, unprecedented, & will have devastating consequences across the country."

@tusk81 #PattyMurray from #WA is one of the 14 co-sponsors of the ammendment to remove the trans health provision from the defense bill.

A statement released by protest organizers indicates that Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell (and Starbucks, of course) were the targets of today's protest.

@hannahkrieg@twitter.com

A team of protesters have scaled part of the roof of the federal building and dropped a banner.

A crowd of hundreds of local Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious leaders stand blocking the entrance below.

They are now entering the 3rd hour of blocking access to the building.

Even in the #Senate, where Min Ldr #MitchMcConnell is a forceful advocate for #Ukraine #aid, some #Republicans are demanding additional $$ for #border #security in exchange for greenlighting Ukraine aid. (using human lives & #democracies as #transactional chits in #CultureWar #politics)

“The reality is these issues are all connected, & …urgent. Our adversaries are cheering for #dysfunction. So let’s instead show them #unity,” Sen #Appropriations Cmte Chair #PattyMurray (D-WA) told lawmakers.

They also spoke about making "dark" donations to political candidates, such as Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)

SBF at one point said that he made public donations to Dems and dark donations to Repubs for optics reasons, but it looks like the dark donations were cross-party
