It wasn't a compromise, it was a capitulation. The promise of a vote means absolutely NOTHING. If you really think anything will change, you are extraordinarily naive.

I don't think it is just about quitting for not getting their way. This is an extraordinary betrayal, especially coming on the heels of a major Dem wave. By capitulating now, the gov shutdown will likely be for naught. The anger & frustration is at a higher degree now. Voters need better candidates.

Thank you! This fix hadn't occurred to me.

I appreciate this thread. I am fortunate enough to earn a decent salary, yet I worry about money EVERY SINGLE DAY. My family's grocery bill was astronomical today. I fear it will only get worse. Times like this I appreciate the public library even more! I hope that doesn't go away any time soon...

Absolutely! @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social listen to @chrismurphyct.bsky.social! He is spot on. You will do irreparable damage if you give in now. As a Virginian, I implore you to keep fighting!

Your observation is spot on! @kaine.senate.gov just sealed his fate. The GOP will not bring this up again and for Kaine to think so is beyond naive for someone who has been in DC as long as he has. *sigh*

I just left a message for Sen. Warner but Sen. Kaine's phone system does not allow for voice mails to be left. Grrrr. If they give in now, they will get NOTHING until (and if!) a blue wave in 2026. We can't wait that long!

He lies as he breathes. It's one thing to lie about issues MAGA doesn't experience for themselves and will readily believe. But lying about prices being down when EVERYONE is impacted by high prices (except for the wealthy) is beyond ridiculous and will (and should) be a much harder sell to MAGA.

Are there really NO GOP House members who will call Johnson out for keeping the House out if session or not seating the new Member?

I just realized something - I did not intend for ppl to think this was my son - it was a post of my favorite sign from the day and I should have provided that context.

In what way does the large turnout at the No Kings protests help move the needle? My husband & teenager attended a rally in Northern Virginia. My Marine Corps husband led some of the chants!

It's also extraordinarily disrespectful to those who served and weren't draft dodgers.

This is so true! My Marine Corps husband led some of the chants today and he felt so good after! Needless to say, we're all a little hoarse now!

Are other countries actively, even aggressively, bolstering their own militaries and weapons manufacturing in anticipation of less US aid and b/c of Russia's aggression that the US refuses to challenge? Will European countries save Ukraine?
