Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

You named my 4 favorites right now. Specifically, the rest of the party needs to stop cooperating entirely with fascists. Make a shadow cabinet. Make noise and walk out of the SOTU. Above all, stop the flaccid TV spots that Jeffries and Schumer are doing. It’s embarrassing

@kenmartin.bsky.social you need a same day response team to go after anything Trump says or does, Real Time.
Real Time is the key. Tell elected officials to stop with their wordy, empty, posts. Give them a choice of three posts to use. Everyone on the same page.

I suspect USAID is first because it's "foreign aid" and fewer Americans will object. But once the precedent is established, expect unilateral dismantling of domestic institutions too

This reminds me of what was happening at Citroën when the factory was captured by the Nazis in WWII. The employees were forced to make trucks for the enemy.
And they did, with a very small production change: They moved the lines on the dipstick.

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.
Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

Eggs = expensive
Elon Musk = making Nazi salutes
Inauguration front row = billionaires
Prescriptions = 4200% more expensive
Jan 6 violent insurrectionists = pardoned
Ukraine = still fighting off Russian invasion
Trump only cares about fascists, thugs, billionaires, and himself
