this entire article is an argument for dems to refuse to lift a single fucking finger to help republicans pass a dirty CR. if congressional republicans can go straight to musk to get relief for their districts but congressional democrats can't, then there's absolutely no reason to help, at all.

As it turns out, people respond to incentives:
Your regular reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics, from now back through Iran-Contra to 1865, is because there are never any actual legal, personal, or political consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.
This is, quite literally, what Trump got impeached for the first time
(he illegally paused money for Ukraine and extorted Zelenskyy, trying to get him to conduct a sham investigation into Biden)

If sending ICE storm troopers into elementary schools is your idea of "making America great," I refuse to respect you as a fellow citizen or even a human being. You are depraved, broken inside, and fundamentally foul. A blight on this nation. An embarrassment to our species. Human sewage.

There is a desperate and painfully overdue need for a real news outlet that determines the news is the real and true thing, not just whatever Trump says followed by a smaller-font addendum that lightly contradicts him. Everything he says has a 95% chance of being a lie or wrong and yet it's repeated

This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.
Heads up:
North Carolina Republicans just voted to strip the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general of key powers — passing a sweeping bill before the GOP most likely loses its veto-proof supermajority in the Legislature next year.

Democrats are busy concluding that this worked for Labour rather than considering that what worked for Labour was being so incompetent that they gave the Tories 13 years to run the country into the ground until people finally had enough.
