Sens. Chuck Schumer and Amy Klobuchar said Senate Republicans are already getting nervous about cutting Medicaid, and Schumer said the bill improves the odds of a Democratic Senate takeover.
I keep thinking the GOP is doing what they’re doing because they have no fear of voter reprisals . My fear is there won’t be more elections coming up— or if there are they will be rigged.
Maga lives in a maga induced circle jerk. Watch any replay of the "magadon" house staff meetings where they ALL suck up to curry favor with their cult leader. "Oh you are so huge, wonderful, great, fantastic, BS, BS, and more BS." It is really hard for most "normal" people to even watch. Magas really think that Grandma and Grandpa will gladly give up anything and everything to orangeblob. However, based on recent elections and polling, I think they are dead wrong.
We The People have given a whoopin' to Elon Muskrat via Boycotts around the World. This means we can get to ANY other BS billionaire. I say we "tee up" Bezos, Zuckerberg and that dude from Google Pichai. Spread the word to dump anything and everything Amagon, Facelessbook and Droogle to see if we can't send them packin' along with their F'ing magayachts too.
Well, it blows any informed person's mind that the Dems and most of their followers don't recognize that the mid-terms will be rigged to the hilt by the Republicans. Every Dem win will be aggressively contested, should they even happen, and dragged through the courts, which appear now to be powerless against Trump's Reich Wing. America is now officially a Banana Republic aka Shithole country aka Russia.
I will say it again. Without the US Constitution there is NO United States. This mean's all Blue States need a Plan B NOW for the fall of the US Constitution. A "BlueExit" if it comes to that. I have been telling Newsom's staff in California that they need Plan B since last November. At first they thought I was "off" but lately they are not so dismissive.
California is now the 4th largest economy in the World and California sends a net of about $70 Billion to Washington DC each year because of their economy. Texas and Florida withdraw about $70 Billion from Washington DC each year; without California both those states would have been broke years ago.
The Senate will end up caving just like the House did. We kept hearing that numerous House 'pubs were against this horrendous giveaway to the rich (for various reasons) but, in the end they rolled over to dictator trump. Sad. Every last one of them should be voted out if we ever have another fair and free election.
I agree that the Senate will fall into the trickle down sewer as well led by Susan Collins. However, We The People need to keep up the pressure with Resistance, Marching, and Boycotts. We need to plan now for American Work Stop Day(s). We also need to Plan for a "BlueExit" of the Democratic States if the Constitution is killed. Buckle up and keep your powder dry.
I really get tired of the phrase “raise taxes on the rich” being used instead of just stating they they will be required to pay their taxes at the same rate as every other citizen in this nation. The rich use and take advantage of all that cost our nation trillions to upkeep at a much higher rate than the rest of the population combined and they have gotten away with way too many tax breaks and loopholes that aren’t available to those who are in much higher need of more money to just survive.. let alone THRIVE, which these bastard republicans want to make certain nobody except them and the richest ever do. I’m just to the point where I can easily say that I hate every last republicans guts in politics especially, and wish they’d all drop dead.. Watching them suffer first would be preferable but I’d forego that for a speedy funeral for the entire fucking bunch of these wicked criminals.
It's the total opposite of here in Australia, where the government just reduced the lowest tax rate from 18% to 16% because that benefits everyone equally, and is particularly helpful to people on lower incomes.
Last year our government also revamped the entire tax rate system so every taxpayer got a tax cut - every one.
Contrasts with Trump giving big tax cuts to the rich while raising taxes for the bottom 20% of taxpayers.
The "tax cuts" over the past 40 years by Reagan, Bush jr, and Agent don Orange have done nothing but raise our debt and shrunk the American Middle Class. Trickle Down Does Not Work! Bush Sr. was correct to call Reaganomics "Voodoo Economics."
Tax The Rich and Give to the Poor! It's simple and easy to understand..
I’d like Chuck to hand over his position to someone strong. But just as important is fighting to make sure the 2026 vote will be one that is not going to be screwed with. Not sure how, but we need to work to ensure we have that right. Without it, we are doomed.
These aren't the actions of a political party that fears a backlash in an election. Trump, aided by the Republicans and oligarchs, has set fire to America and destroyed the federal government. No one does that if they are afraid of losing power. When Trump wasn't held accountable for any of his criminal actions in his first rodeo, even with 4 years of a Democratic DOJ, he knew he could run wild. What do you think Musk was doing inside the federal computer systems? His snot-nosed punks were inside the most protected files in a nanosecond. What about state computers? They have 4 years of no accountability before the next national election to tamper with those. How many of those fake electors from 2020 are serving time? If Trump cannot manage to stop future elections with a bogus national emergency declaration, he'll make sure that the election doesn't matter. America has joined the ranks of the banana republics. Doesn't it feel like we lost a war and are being punished? We even look like one with all of that tacky gold shit in the Oval Office, a big military parade planned, and now a flying palace for Dear Leader.
Agreed. Americans are overconfident when it comes to our democracy, so sure that the bad things that happen elsewhere would never happen here. I don't think "We the People" are going to rise up, and it will fall on the shoulders of our grandchildren. I'm a '60s & '70s protester, and I am stunned that Americans didn't fill the streets when Elon first began shutting down agencies. Civil disobedience works, but it's not easy or painless. These polite protests on weekends will change nothing, and the shock of what Trump has done in the first 100 days has already worn off. I feel like I am living in the Twilight Zone.
I absolutely agree with you. I feel the same. In the 60s and 70s we were out there constantly getting in the thick of it. Trying to be peaceful but not backing down either. I cannot get out there any more but I fear for what is happening for our country. I do what I can but the younger folks need to step up and fight the good fight before it is too late.
My husband said if Nixon had decided that he could make demands of private universities & sent those thugs who wear masks, the country would have burned to the ground. I'm too old to get in the streets now, but it's reassuring to know that others feel the same way.
That's exactly what I am and have been saying. Instead of after the fact get in front of the situation, after the fact is just an empty "to late to the fair". Got to get in front of any situation. That way you win. Musk should have been notified with protest before he had permission to tear apart our system.
We "filled the street" with thousands of People and hundreds of vehicles honking and it was great! Boycotts work en masse worldwide; ask Muskrat about his tesla-edsel cars and trucks.
I agree...I don't know why conservatives think that liberals don't own guns, too. We lived in a remote area for decades & it was necessary to know how to use a gun. We didn't hunt or feel like we needed protection, but I did have to shoot a rabid animal, and unfortunately, we had to put down some sick animals. We also enjoyed shooting cans for proficiency. If my kids, grandkids, or even my dogs were threatened, I'd defend them. I'm old, so I wouldn't think twice.
Muskrat is on the run thanks to Tesla boycotts in America and around the World. He is also the most hated person around the World. This is good news. It means We The People can get to any "billionaire" if we stick together.
Definitely, the way to stop the oligarchs is to cost them $$$$. I think that Musk was shocked to discover how deeply he is hated. There is nothing he can do to fix his image now. We live in Austin now...when Musk first moved here, he expected to be instantly part of the "cool kids club." Austin is the home of a multitude of cool musicians, artists, writers, energy innovators, etc, who live here because they aren't treated like celebrities. They can lead normal lives but they also tend to be ultra-liberal and want nothing to do with someone like Musk. So he decided he'd build his own compound and no one cared. Then, Musk had to piss off the entire planet and will now be a leper for the rest of his life.
Quite concerned of preserving the federal courts' power. If this bill goes through, we are done in this department also, as the felon basically gets a crown.
While we get upset about our system, this is one time that our system will drag that all out. Congress does not just get to pass bills and they stand 'as is!' What they say has to be constitutional. I'm sure that amendment regarding federal courts' power is going to get challenged if it passes. We aren't there yet.
Bluesmurf, unfortunately, this evil, criminal, regime is getting away with anything and everything, not anyone is holding any single one of them accountable. This is not politics as usual.
Everything I do, signing petitions, making calls, doing the best I can as an older person on SSDI, been to rallies (despite the pain) … nothing is slowing this administration down. Hell bent to be in full control as said, ‘…fix it so good you’ll never have to vote again.’
I hear you! And Thank you for all you are doing. We have to keep doing everything we can every day, even if it is just calling Congress - which is critical! We have to keep standing behind our leaders who are standing up to all of this as well. They are counting on hearing from us to make sure that they are standing up because we want them to.
I know that it feels like we are trying to stop a tidal wave with a whisk broom, but every sweep counts and the more people who line up and link arms and jump in to sweep, eventually it will stop the water flow and the flood.
Hang in there and vent here or on any other substack! Everyone I talk to is in this for the long haul and is supportive of everyone else.
It would be great to retake the Senate and the House but they are delusional if they think that there will be fair elections coming up. The Republicans already know that they are screwed and the plan is to cheat or declare a fake emergency so they can have Martial Law and postpone the election indefinitely.
Hoover won in 1928 with 60% of the popular vote and some 80% of the Electoral College, by 1932 FDR did the same thing plus a bit better. We held elections during the Civil War and can do it again if needed. However. I do believe Blue States need to Plan for a "BlueExit" if the Constitution if killed.
And they need to start now instead of allowing the bill to get to the Senate the fight must start now to fight against it getting to the Senate not after...
There are lots of us out here concerned about whether there will be elections in 2026 or 2028... On the one hand, people are asking "who's running?" and on the other people are saying "what elections?"
I don't believe, and it is strictly my opinion, that shutting down this country is going to be that easy or that fast... I could be wrong, but everything we do here is dragged out and dragged around and I don't expect that the mid-terms or anything else is going to be any different.
Declaring Martial Law and suspending habeas Corpus is not quite the "bing, bang, botta boom" that the trumpettes want us to believe. And there are people who are watching around the clock for anything that comes out of the white house to get injunctions and such.
"We the unwilling, led by the gaslighting, are trying to save our Democracy, from the ungrateful hateful, using anything we can!"
It is difficult at best, but we still have time, there are still arrows in the quiver, and the archers are still standing! WE need to keep doing what we are doing and believe that "right" will prevail!
Keep in mind that their Project 2025 was set up with an implementation by date of 180 days after inauguration. That is approximately July 20, 2025. That clock is ticking folks...
I have always tried to be an optimist. But here's the deal : A few years ago we endured the Big Freeze here in Texas where around 700 Texans froze to death. And while people were dying from the brutal cold, our senator abandoned his constituents for the sunny climes of the Caribbean. Then in this last election cycle Texans had the opportunity to rid themselves of this asshole. Instead, they reelected this creep.
What's my point?? Voters are just too fickle to figure out how they will ever vote. And then they reelected another asshole for the presidency. Voters simply cannot be trusted.
Ever so true... that's where "WE" all come into this equation. WE cannot expect our DEMS and INDS to sell the idiots in our country who vote by the sparkles in their eyes on why they are voting against their own interests. WE have to be out there selling the truth that the DEMS aren't the devil, as said by TN Brando quite often where he lives.
It has to be presented by neighbor to neighbor, town council to city, county commissioners to county, and state legislators to the State. If WE do not get involved and help sell the truth to this idiots who don't do any research and only remember the last ad they saw before voting, then we may lose. So WE who are active will need to BE active all the way through - volunteer at your local DNC office. Work phone banks, go door to door once the campaign season starts.
DNC is working hard right now, so if you can volunteer in your community, then get in touch with them, see what you can do. We have to take back our Country from the bottom up - not just Congress - but all the boards, mayors, council people, district boards, school boards, library boards, water boards, recreational boards, city planning boards, county commissioners, sheriffs, county election boards, state legislators, AGs, Sec of State, Governors and everything else in between.
Haha. The 2024 presidential election was rigged. I believe the rest of them will be as well. T-rump told the truth about him not needing votes, and he also told the truth that you won't need to vote any more.
But we ARE NOT the Germans in the 1930's. America is NOT Germany! We are a much bigger country with 347 million people - it is a lot harder to "take over" that many people in this large a country. So, we'll see. They aren't making as much progress as they make it sound like. We are all still free today.
We can write in this substack - if we weren't free, this would not be possible - We can go get in our car and drive pretty much anywhere in this country and not get stopped and asked for "papers!" We can go to work, work that job, or quit that job and find another one. We can move from one State to the next - no one is going to stop us.
We are under attack - yes we are! Be we aren't anywhere near being Beat. We have NOT Lost! We are Not Victims! And this is still a free country overall. We need to come at it from that perspective - not the "we have already lost, now how do we put it all back together!"
Yes, a large number of things have been crashed and burned. But we can recover those things - will it take time? Yes! But we can still talk to each other and move about freely and so we are here to fight another day!
Not sure about 'getting in your car and moving about freely' if you are black or brown and ICE vigilantes have their targets and bonuses to reach in the neighbourhood?

Sorry, I won't give up my Google, or my Amazon. Works for me.
CHERIE! I TOO!!!
If they rig the election, let’s storm the Capitol and burn it to the ground!
My fear as well.

Well, Chuck should send another strongly worded letter to someone to show them who's boss.
Careful throwing stones at fellow Democrats. Chuck believes in the Constitution, maga does not. Remember who the "real enemy" is.

2nd Amendment applies to Democrats too. A 12 gauge pump, maybe a 20, along with a 357 and ammo may help if push comes to shove with magazombies.
I agree...I don't know why conservatives think that liberals don't own guns, too. We lived in a remote area for decades & it was necessary to know how to use a gun.

Then, Musk had to piss off the entire planet and will now be a leper for the rest of his life.
And my immediate reaction to was to remember the stupid announcers in "The Hunger Games" saying "May the odds be ever in your favor..."
I'm sick of polls.
Quite concerned of preserving the federal courts' power. If this bill goes through, we are done in this department also, as the felon basically gets a crown.
