The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Why?
Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole

The Democratic ranking member bringing the fire in this video is Bill Keating of Massachusetts (his district includes Provincetown).
This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

Outrageous. Apparently, if Trump doesn't like it that makes it "illegal."
Immigration officers arrested a Columbia University graduate — who is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. — for helping lead campus protests against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. President Trump said the case was “the first arrest of many to come.”

That's really outrageous. The whole purpose of the independence of regulatory agencies is so that Presidents DO NOT interfere with their functioning! He can't simply say, "oh. I don't like that. I'm changing that."
If MAGAs think the professionally run federal government wasn't good enough just wait until they discover what a completely corrupt Trump dictatorship does to them.
