Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Dems talk a lot about the bad things in this bill, but I really think they ought to hammer more on the deficit. That's what Republicans always complain about and then make worse.
It's relevant right now with our credit downgrade and rising interest rates. Hang this around their necks.

The fact that the Trump/Musk DOJ — without due process & in defiance of federal courts — snatches people up, puts them on planes, and deports them to an authoritarian country where those people will be forced into slave labor in an inhumane prison should be a much bigger story.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain
