now’s the time to investigate republican stick purchases in between stock market slumps and bumps based on trump waving his tariff wand. fucking clown government
April 9, 2025 at 6:30 PM
if the president can declare *any*thing an emergency, and Congress lets him do it with impunity, things are going to get much worse. our government is assaulting, kidnapping, and illegally transporting people across international borders without even the barest hint of due process.

trump just imposed a slew of tariffs (which he doesn’t have authority to do), which is tanking the stock market, raising prices for us on virtually everything, harming our relationship with every other country, and killing our tourism draw worldwide. great job everyone who voted for him.

it’s almost like everything destructive, terrible, and anti-democracy we said the Trump would do is happening, wow how did we know?!? 🙄

as an fyi, a filibuster is a tactic used in the US Senate to delay or block a vote on a measure by preventing debate on it from ending. a senator may speak for as long as they wish.  when debate ends, the measure can be put to a vote. Booker was protesting Trump not debating pending legislation
April 2, 2025 at 9:18 PM
i can’t believe Cory Booker gave the longest senate speech in history and it wasn’t even a filibuster to disrupt passage of legislation. it was just a speech for a speech’s sake, which accomplishes nothing except performative opposition to Trump. i thought he was trying to block something but nope!

would love to see term limits and ranked choice voting, probably two of the more impactful changes we could make. the current entrenched cowardly democrats are pretty frustrating to watch flail

the anti-science party wants to have an agency they have absolute control over to research a baseless claim, presumably so they can get biased researchers/snake oils salesmen to further sow disinformation into the scientific community

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.

I’m sorry but we cannot fucking govern like this

Some will say this is him backing down and won’t follow through

I’m starting to believe he is actually pausing until he gets his tax cuts passed permanently

And after that will go through with it

Regardless of will he won’t he, terrible governance
