A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

It's concensus opinion among Dem party rank and file, that our leaders lack courage, bravery and refuse to act in accordance with the reality of the moment. If lose/lose, vote to obstruct Trump wrecking crew by closing the government for as long as it takes. Shutdown will not matter by Nov-26

Trump said on Meet The Press that he will focus on "drill baby drill" as a means to get cost of living down. Crude oil is currently trading below $70bl and gas is $2.99/gl. Drilling more oil into global supply would create a glut, driving prices lower. Producers will never allow that to happen.

You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

Make no mistake. Musk and Trump are on a mission to cut $2T from federal spending, on the backs of working class, working poor and protection from corporate greed. All so that BILLIONARES don't have to pay their fair share of taxes or those that have already cheated the IRS out of.

Its estimated that universal Healthcare or "Medicare for all" would save $400B+ per year. For health insurance is a parasite on our Healthcare system as it adds no value nor results in better outcomes. They make money by shifting costs to the insured by denying care or raising premiums and copays.

Listening to Olbermann's podcast where he cajoles Biden to use SC immunity to save us from what 49% of voters just did. Recall that party leaders forced him out of race, MSM bashed him daily over age and America rejected his replacement over price of eggs. Seems Joe is happy to leave us to it.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Joe was running for re-election when he said that he wouldn't pardon Hunter. Circumstances have changed (America electing a convicted felon) and so to has Joe's decision. Considering Trump has vowed to pardon J6 terrorists I think those clutching their pearls over Bidens pardon for his son can STFU

It's probably not a good day to remind people that Trump's son in law walked away from his White House gig with $2 billion from the Saudis. I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.

Any loving father in Joe's position would do the exact same thing. Hunter has been persecuted by GOP, publically humiliated and only charged w/bullshit crimes because his dad was President from opposing party. He paid his debt to IRS and got rid of gun, nobody was harmed by Hunter's addict decisions

Feel guilt, it builds character. Feel weakness, it builds strength. Feel fear, it builds courage. However, if you allow yourself to only feel without building or perseverance to build further, you'll fester in the rot of apathy or compliance. The world may fail but you shouldn't fail yourself.

Political appointments and federal judges require simple majority in the Senate to confirm. The next Senate will have a 53 seat Republican majority so could lose 3 votes and still get confirmed. Many are looking to Murkowski, Collins and Tillis to "to buck Trump", but they won't be being courageous

540 members of congress all vying for piece of pie to send back home. Musk DOGE goal to cut $2T is little more than smokescreen to further rig the game in favor of billionares and transfer what wealth the bottom 90% have left to themselves, the top 1%. Reg agencies are there to protect us from them.

My friends who are pinning their hopes on Republicans in congress to "stand up to Trump" or put country over party haven't been paying attention for last 8yrs. After J6, Senate failure to convict, GOP nomination and America re-electing a felon, to see a reality other than one were in is delusional.

Large swaths of us have realized just how dangerous to our democracy and society it is when a few billionares control the information we receive. The Putin style psyop/disinformation attack that decided this election proved it. That is what is fueling exodus from X and Meta as well as MSM.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

BREAKING: Elon Musk accuses Alexander Vindman of working for Ukrainian oligarchs, labeling him a traitor and suggesting he could face the death penalty.

Possibly the one salvation for Ukraine is for NATO to move against Russia. With or without American troops, the European alliance has enough troops and fire power to decimate whats left of Putins military. Question is if it would pull in China and become WWIII.

When you feel like your actions can't change the current chaos, remember the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect suggests small actions, like a butterfly's flap, can trigger significant changes over time. It reminds us that even minor gestures can ripple outward, sparking meaningful change.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know
