These are not “deals.” It’s extortion.
Two countries whose exports to the US face some of Trump’s highest tariffs are close to deals

The Democrats were fucking dumb to vote for the Iraq war and we all knew so at the time. Clinton, Kerry, Biden all fucked up and we don’t need to make silly excuses for them. Powell did NOT resign in disgust. He was a part of the lie and we need to stop making up phony history.
You forget, Gen. Colin Powell have the Senate a Top Secret briefing on Iraq showing images and telling them that Iraq was had nukes.
It was a lie.
Later, Powell resigned in disgust that he himself was lied to and in turn lied to the senate. Blame Bush and Cheney, profiteers off that war.

There’s no ballroom, but East Room. And golden curtains. Same curtain that hung there during the Biden admin.
See, same curtain.
I took this pic last year, when Biden announced the immigration reform that Trump vetoed.

Maybe we would see a different pattern if the federal government had taken seriously proposals to foster a broader “national dialogue” (A. Roberts), e.g. by establishing something like a Royal Commission for the 21st century.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

Chuck Schumer gave the go ahead. He recruits his scapegoats and taps someone like Chris Murphy to go play the tough guy publicly but its controlled opposition. They're all in lock step and none of them oppose the president.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...

You know how craven you have to be for Gavin Newsom to call you out
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.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
