Democrats confront limits of their minority power after bruising shutdown vote
“It’s like two horrible things, and you can’t imagine either one.” – Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.

@hyenagirl64@yiff.lifeuspol: we don’t need the democrats
The #democrats are nothing but a dead weight holding us down.
We’ve been dragging them forward kicking and screaming for decades.
Why drag them around at all?
They sacrificed their entire party just to *try* to slow us down. Thats after a full year of false promises to stop the goddamn genocide.
They think we are terrifying.
Good.
Let’s get even MORE terrifying.
No more waiting on them to do something.
Don’t wait! Just do it!

Here’s how things work.
The #republicans threaten to kill us. The #democrats pretend to be our friends and beg us to give them $20 so they can protect us, and then once we are out of the room the two parties split the cash and go out for beer.
It’s a protection racket.
Don’t feel bad if you fell for it and convinced yourselves the democrats really were trying to protect you. It’s called “Stockholm Syndrome”
#GovernmentShutdown resolution passed by Senate.
These 9 #Democrats voted with #Republicans to get it passed:

Dick Durbin Ill.
John Fetterman Pa.
Kirsten Gillibrand N.Y.
Margaret Wood Hassan N.H.
Gary Peters Mich.
Brian Schatz Hawaii
Charles E. Schumer N.Y.
Jeanne Shaheen N.H.

"Schumer argued that #Democrats would ultimately lose a #shutdown #fight."
So why bother to #fightBack at all?

#Pelosi has issued a statement against following #Schumer's lead.
Congress has the “false choice between a shutdown or a blank check,” Pelosi wrote. “Neither is a good option. But this false choice some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

I wish I could find a way to disagree with you, I can't.
#DNC needs new leadership or the US needs a viable #ThirdParty.
I'd say that soon there will be enough disaffected #Democrats and #Republicans to constitute one.
I realize the #Libertarian & #Green parties are out there but they have not garnered enough belief to really move the needle.
All I can say for sure is that #wethepeopleoftheunitedstates have allowed #Trump back in power and we need to fix that at the ballotbox.

Recently, a bloc of self-proclaimed conservative reformers invoked the Sharpstown debacle in their crusade to take down the speaker of the house and root out an alleged cabal of corrupted “RINOs” who they claim have conspired with lobbyists and #Democrats to control the chamber. https://www.texasobserver.org/ethics-reform-texas-house-legislature/

"#Schumer sent… #Democrats into fits of rage… by announcing that he would vote to allow… #Republicans to pass the stopgap #CR.
Democrats have pushed for language in the bill to stop #DOGE from cutting congressionally approved spending, but Schumer argued that Democrats would ultimately lose a shutdown fight"

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he'll vote to keep government open in move criticized by some fellow Democrats.

Top Democrat Schumer backs Republican spending bill to avert shutdown https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdx2j8n7xz1o
There is a double-stranded in America. If there is a shutdown, while Democrats run the government, people claim they're lacking leadership. If there is a shutdown, when Republicans run the government, people claim Democrats are preventing government from functioning.
This double-standard allow Republicans to get away with anything, while Democrats are blamed for everything, including when trying to help the people.

Condemning Dana Nessel’s Hypocrisy
"Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel, a self-styled progressive who has attempted to build a reputation opposing Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, now exposes her own hypocrisy by weaponizing the legal system to suppress pro-Palestine protesters.
...
Where was this zeal for “accountability” when white supremacists plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Where is her outrage over “israel’s” US-funded genocide in Gaza, which has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians? Her selective application of justice exposes a dangerous truth: For Nessel, opposing Trump is a political brand, not a commitment to dismantling oppression."

@benroyce@mastodon.social"#Trump #WhiteHouse has asked #US #military to develop options for the #Panama Canal, officials say"
THE STUPIDEST FUCKING SHIT
Dear Free World (not you, #USA):
Have contingencies, wait for 4 years (2 if #Democrats retake #Congress)
If the USA elects #MAGA again, give up on us entirely
My apologies as an #American
Millions of us are in cringe humiliation now
#India, #EU, #China, remaining world powers:
Use the vacuum left by the immense implosion wisely
Tim Walz (VPOTUS candidate last year) started going to Town Halls republican politicians fled from, or ignored.
THIS. IS. HOW. YOU. DO. IT.
Given the gerontocrat democrat ¨leadership" propensity to just go FDAU and spread cheeks to republicans, it's refreshing to see SOMEONE who gets it.
@benroyce@mastodon.socialIt hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump
If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least
"A #German Thru-Hiker Has Been Detained, Deported, and Banned From the #US Without a Hearing: Here’s What You Need To Know"
Today, Gingrich’s campaign offers the #Democrats a playbook. If they want to undermine Trump’s support, this model suggests that they should pursue a relentless, strategic, and thematic campaign branding Trump as America’s most corrupt president. Almost every development could provide fodder for such attacks, which would connect #corruption not with generalities like the rule of law but with kitchen-table issues. Higher prices? Crony capitalism! Cuts to popular programs? Payoffs for #Trump’s fat-cat clients! Tax cuts? A greedy raid on Social Security!(
