"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53.
Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence.
That is why Republicans can’t govern.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.
There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

That is correct.
Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
