The fact that the turd has to constantly repeat that we are the 'most whatever...' shows you just how the'least' we really have become.
#GVerse #Shit4Brains announces a $2,000 “Tariff Dividend” for most Americans, funded by tariff revenue.
Markets reacted bullish, seeing it as short-term stimulus for crypto & stocks. But the plan hinges on a Supreme Court ruling prediction markets give only ~20% odds of approval.

Looking at the ten who caved, I wonder if any will be back in once their terms end. This was an extremely STUPID thing to do. Now, Trump will dance around claiming he won. He lost, though, the trust of the nation is no longer his. He is a lame duck and probably will not complete this 2nd term.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Never gets old seeing President Obama cheered on because he’s loved, missed and appreciated.

Agree. it seems pain. It’s the only way to get any information through to the Republicans.
"If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make your arguments, and the country was just starting to pay attention... I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure."

Going to Broadview is not the only thing I'm doing, but I cannot stress enough how many great people I've met there from all walks of life. We talk & help each other organize even more & share insights & info for how we all get through this & make the resistance even stronger. It's really something.
