The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

This is a very quick break down of what happened in the Senate over the weekend.
While I'm more than disappointed that they just took the L on ACA help, it is good to see SNAP & furloughed feds catch a much needed break.
Call your reps. Hit @resist.bot. We're not out of the woods yet. Stay loud.

Remember that Democrats moved the goalposts to ignore all of Trump's fascism except for his decision to let ACA premium subsidies expire
Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, demolishing the White House, and blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies
Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care
Trump: No
Schumer: Okay

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

SHUTDOWN TAKEAWAY: send home as many federal employees as you want, cut off people's food stamps, let health care system career towards a cliff, but don't mess with air travel, especially with holidays looming.

What would Trump do if he wanted the military to help him establish a dictatorship?
He’d order troops into U.S. cities.
He’d order strikes on foreign targets to show he could get the military to kill people without congressional OK.
He’d purge the military of top brass who might defend democracy.

DOGE, all of its employees and actions were not congressionally approved. But here we are nine months later like it’s all fine and good. Nobody even talks about it anymore. This entire regime is illegitimate, and those in Congress on all sides have fully consented.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Not helping the "these tariffs are not about revenue" argument his lawyers made before SCOTUS is he
He's been ranting since 6:30 this morning
Mostly about how much Obamacare sucks
And that the Senate "MUST" nuke the filibuster at once
He's feeling the shutdown political pressure in the extreme
Seems like he also got a heads up that SCOTUS might not have his back on tariffs👇

Apparently he missed the part of the briefing where they explained the USA can impose tariffs on other countries.
Its just that the Presodent can't.
But instead of him refocusing his efforts on getting Congress to impose the tariffs, he throws a temper tantrum.
