If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

82.5 + 17.5 = 100 82.5 rounds to 83 and 17.5 rounds to 18

For crying out loud, this is easy to explain with rounding. USAID cuts are a travesty but the 83 + 18 thing isn’t a contradiction

Lemme share something with you. A lot of semi-Trumpy types are saying Zelensky blew it. All he had to do was show up, shake hands, say Trump is great and sign the docs. He couldn't do that. But there are also people in DC who are not Trumpy who are saying the same thing. Now, big picture this ...

At the same time that the entire Republican Party is complaining that Zelenskyy lacked sufficient respect, Trump is calling the leader of our neighbor and longest ally "Governor" and his Cabinet are doing shit like this.

Whether it’s the Ukrainian armed forces successfully holding off a Russian invasion, or Donald Trump aiding and abetting that invasion, both sides are engaging Russia in a surprising fashion.

I’m not super well-informed on this issue so there are various caveats. But taking the concept that she has clear-cut legal authority to do it at face value, she should use it and make a forceful statement as to why. He sold major NYC policy decisions to save his own skin!

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Instead of prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city with the ample evidence that he took bribes from a foreign government, the Trump administration decided to leave him in office, and use the threat of charges to blackmail him into carrying out their agenda. And they did it all in the open.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

As someone trained as a trade economist, it is my duty to share the 1929-1933 Kindleberger Spiral, showing the month-month decline in global trade due to the combined factors of the (global) Great Depression and retaliatory tariffs. Smooth Hawley is implemented mid-June 1930.

Kindleberger Spiral is an inward spiral, visualizing the steady collapse of world trade.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.
