As far as I understand it, 10 Democrats voted for the Republican budget because, if they didn't vote for it, there might be a government shutdown which would give Trump the power to fire federal employees and shut down agencies -- TWO THINGS TRUMP AND MUSK ARE ALREADY DOING ON A DAILY BASIS

This is a really stupid argument. Your constituents made their desires clear, and you ignored them.
That's the core of it, you ignore the people you are supposed to serve and collaborate with nazis.
Resign.

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
