American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
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.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

„No, the U.S. has not given Ukraine $350 billion; yes, Zelensky has repeatedly expressed his thanks to America and to Trump; no, Zelensky was not attacking the administration.“

Trump & Vance are disgusting PIGS rambling on about how Zelensky didn't thank them and how bad that is... THIS was a publicity stunt for King Trump to show Putin that he's a STRONGMAN -and on Putin's side. This was a planned public flogging of Zelensky. Pathetic.

Als 🇦🇹 Bundeskanzler hat Karl Nehammer die unter seinem Vorgänger Sebastian Kurz zelebrierte politische Kriecherei mit Wladimir #Putin beendet und sich klar an die Seite der überfallenen #Ukraine 🇺🇦 gestellt. Nun meldet sich der medial sonst fast abstinente Regierungschef außer Dienst zu Wort.

Trump und Selenskyj haben nicht „gestritten“, wie jetzt Agenturen schreiben. Trump und Vance haben den Präsidenten eines von Putin überfallenen Landes zur Sau gemacht.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

You should give the response, in front of dozens of fired federal workers and their kids. If the party doesn't let you do it, do your own. The networks would carry it because you're you. A consultant will force you do it in a cornfield or something, fine, whatever, but this should be it.

People need to understand that we are in an entirely new paradigm. It is now Russia the US against Ukraine and Europe. This is not a shift in US policy, it is a transformation of what kind of country the United States is in the world

Rubio spent a life in politics trying to get at the big kids table by talking tough about Russia and democracy, then chose to implement an autocratic Kremlin playbook so he could fly around on a nice plane and have people be nice to him. Perhaps even more shameful than Trump and Vance.

Es ist einfach beschämend, diese Szenen aus dem Weißen Haus zu sehen - wie ein Land, das Bombardierung von Krankenhäusern, Mord & sexuelle Gewalt in einem Angriffskrieg durch Russland erlebt, als Bittsteller vorgeführt & in hochnäsigem Ton angeblafft wird
