If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

This makes me wonder if the Republicans are confident that the voter suppression measures in place with protect them in 2026.

You comment was cryptic to the extent you didn't clarify, when it was clear that the issue was federal income taxes being paid or not. It would be cool if we Californians could keep what we pay in federal incomes taxes in state, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Are you working under the table? Or do you mean withholding covers your tax bill?

Small businesses will go out of business (~instantly) because they can't come up with the extra money to pay the tax. And even if all businesses were able to front the $, and pass the tax on to their customers, where is an extra $700b going to come from? Regular people don't have that extra money.

States can't stop paying federal taxes. Individuals pay federal taxes.

@delong.social Can you respond to this? Is Tanvi Ratna legitimate or delusional?

She failed to video the part where she was bullying the employees. It wasn't just the hat. It looks like a set up to get video to post.

She was kicked out for bullying the employees for being trans. This happened before she started recording.

You're posting this over and over. Kendzoir is not credible at this point.

No on cloture! This is the time. This is it. What are you afraid of?

Do not vote for the House package. A month clean CR will avoid an immediate shut down and won't be capitulation. Don't just go along with the coup! What are you afraid of? This is the time.

They stopped booing. Are they scared they'll get thrown out too? what's going on?

PBS covering the speech...wtf? Why are you letting a Trump hack on your panel? Both sides bs?

How will you stop the taxes being taken out of your paycheck though?

They already have our money. We pay it out in every paycheck.

Wow. This might explain why I got measles when I was 15 in 1975. It was horrible.

I work for an environmental NGO and find myself writing fiction about the end of the world.... 🙃 not sure how inspiring that is...

Wow, this is lovely. I write and have a lot of anxiety about whether it matters at all. It feels so frivolous sometimes.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Christopher Rufo along with Hannah Grossman claims they got into the private chat logs at NASA and is publishing posts. Is this illegal? Can you look into this breach?

I attend theater in DC and the actors are all local, and it's still expensive. In most cities, even big ones, the actors are local. I don't think most actors are children of Hollywood celebrities. Do you?

But isn't this a song Trump likes and has used at his rallies? I hate to be a downer, but it's possible he requested it. Or, if h e didn't, they may have chosen it to troll, but also knowing he likes this song?

What the costs are is a legitimate question. I'm against immigrants and day care workers getting paid too little too. Do you have a nasty comment for that as well, or would you want to have a real conversation. Never mind, I know the answer.

This is horrific. It took years and massive effort to get transgender people out of prisons where they were abused and raped, and now they are going back. This is so gross.

If the election was rigged, then none of this stuff about polls being wrong applies. And it was rigged.

Who is this "average person"? I don't think this is true. The people showing up at protests and town hall meetings with legislators and flooding congressional phones are average.
