"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

While Trump sends masked Proud Boys to blue states, claiming it's in response to rampant crime, it's important to focus on the facts.
Look at the locations of the last ten mass shootings over 12 days.

RFK Jr fired 1000 people from the CDC late last night.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

New from me at Cato: I go through the numerous and massive First Amendment and academic-freedom violations of Trump's proffered "compact" with universities and then talk about the mechanism by which it would be enforced, by way of what I describe as a "retroactive push-button guillotine."

Universities Must Defend Their Independence by Rejecting Trump's "Compact"

The Trump administration has proffered a “compact” to universities that would require them to surrender their independence and academic freedom. How many First Amendment violations can we identify in ...

Shutdown 5WHs

Who? It’s on Republicans

What? At stake: Your
Healthcare &
Federal workers'
jobs

When? Right Now

Where? Republicans are MIA

Why? Republicans seek no
solutions

Congressman Eugene Vindman @repvindman.bsky.social · 4d

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this government shutdown.

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Every answer points to the same thing — Republicans’ inability to do their jobs.

I’m still in D.C., working to pass a budget that puts hardworking Virginians first.

Simon Rosenberg @simonwdc.bsky.social · 3d

The Republicans don’t want to pass their budget on their own. It’s full of ugly and unpopular stuff. They want Dem cover. We cannot give it to them.

Kevin Collins @kwcollins.bsky.social · 3d

The founders in fact did NOT create the filibuster, but they DID give the Senate and House each the power to set their own rules, which includes changing rules to allow passage of appropriations bills with simple majorities

If Congress is looking for something to impeach the felon for, accepting bribes in order to give a military base to a foreign power in our country seems like a good one!

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.
