do we think when they post it to his account Trump sees it later, and claps himself on the back for being such a genius? do we think that he understands that they're posting it on his account?

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart.

it also does not, contrary to what they think, incentivize Democrats caving. If anything, it'll incentivize digging in and insisting on more in a CR than health care subsidies.

This website got the shutdown it wanted and now let's see how they are handling it? By getting mad at Chuck Schumer again of course!

sometimes i poke my head into a discord's politics channel and see some of the stupidest shit masquerading as genius and remember why i keep that shit muted most of the time. sometimes it makes the stupidest bluesky posters seem like geniuses.

I’ve come around to the position that they should pass the CR and save the real fight for the end of the month. But even if your position is the opposite (fair enough, it’s not an easy call!) then I don’t think defectors are worth getting worked up over.

55-45, Senate GOP short-term funding bill FAILS.

52 Republicans + Fetterman (D-Pa.), Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), and King (I-Maine) vote YES.

44 Democrats + Paul (R-Ky.) vote NO.

It needed 60 votes to pass.

Shutdown hits at midnight.

I think nuclear option is higher probability (but don't know how I'd rate it)

I disagree. I just don't know where the Dem votes come from or why here. They've made demands and as much as shutdown sucks they aren't being met.

the US military can deploy a fully functional Burger King anywhere on the planet within 24 hours and this guy goes on about how it's their job to kill people?
