The continuing resolution is the one near-term lever Democrats might have to limit the Musk/Trump administration lawbreaking.

A current tally of positions on the Continuing Resolution makes it quite clear that things are very much in flux right now, which makes constituent pressure important. Call your senators and tell them to oppose.

    {I previously posted on Masto, but still relevant to here}

    The war never ended for the Confederates, we all know that.

    “The South Will Rise Again” wasn’t conjecture.

    But it took collusion, and cooperation to make this come to pass. And now we know explicitly that Greed has no party affiliation.

    -After all this ‘blue across the board’ bullshit. -After blaming the fucking voters, instead of their own cowardliness and lack of vision. -Deciding Trans folks are now politically expendable. -The fucking wishy-washy “We need to reach across the aisle” placation.

    I don’t think the ‘good ones’ have enough to take the DNC. Why they aren’t announcing a third party right now, fucking mystifies me.

    I’ve been independent after they screwed over Gore, but still, voting the lesser-evil was mandatory.

    There is no ‘lesser evil’ now

      Because of the spoiler fallacy and American progressives’ Stockholm syndrome-style attachment to the Democrats.

    Chuck Schumer, minority leader of the Senate, said that Hakeem Jeffries (who himself has taken the “cower in the corner” approach) needs to work with New York Republicans in the house and ask them to play nice because there’s nothing he can do in the Senate.

    There’s your answer.

      To put it in terms of the headline: Democrats pick up their sword, and drive it into their own chest.

    Haven’t there been leaked conversations among the dems that are basically “we need to alienate the left side of the party and try appealing to center-right voters by sucking some maga dick.”? The dems are a lost cause.
