Once again, Republicans control everything and can’t even pass a bill amongst themselves.

      This is ABSURD! If the Democrats don’t HELP the Republicans they MIGHT lose the Republican Vote that they ALREADY don’t have!

        And they’d definitely hurt even more people than are already being harmed. Republicans can play brinkmanship games because they don’t care about people at all. Democrats can’t do the same without becoming Republicans in the process.

          Nah, we’re past that point. People are gonna get hurt. People are already getting hurt. I say shut the government down just like the Republicans did so many times before. Be as obstructionist as they have been. Filibuster everything. Let’s see how they like it. If the only thing we get out of it is a Democrat congressional majority in 2026, then we can talk about stopping the hurt and stabilizing the country. That’s IF there’s a real election. And IF the Cunt d’Orange hasn’t assumed all power by then, rendering Congress ceremonial, or even vestigial.

        They’re busy working on their “messaging” to let Americans know they hear you and care, while doing nothing but collecting donations and messaging.
