The fact that extending 702 is a matter of bipartisan consensus when Trump isn’t president is part of the problem tho

The Democratic party’s refusal to stop red state governments’ voter suppression efforts or do much of anything else will tend to have that effect

Also, a lot of “stupid” behavior people do is a direct result of them being stressed, scared, tired, hungry etc. The more stuff you have on your mind to begin with because the world sucks the harder it is to pay attention to what you’re doing.

West Virginia will have something to say about this when they wake up from the daily methadone nap

Idk, West Wing was a lot shittier than people remember

I think he’s gonna make better votes in Congress than Fetterman just because he’s been a lot more specific on policy commitments while campaigning than Fetterman ever was, but I also don’t see how you can have the military career he did and then later say “It is reasonable to ask people to trust me with political power” and actually be a fully reformed human being, so I bet we get a scandal where he’s caught in a racist groupchat with his security detail after he’s elected or something like that

Still, I’d rather have someone who says dumb shit but votes good than someone like Collins who does the exact opposite

Too? Bartender shouldn’t face criminal charges for exercising her self defense right.

The amendment — which was proposed during a vote-a-rama on Republicans’ reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement — needed 60 votes to overcome a point-of-order objection.

It failed by a vote of 52-47.

Only reason the GOPers voted for this was because they knew it would fail, but of course they get sole credit in the headlines anyway

Your beef isn’t with the headline writer who’s describing the situation accurately, it’s with the Republicans running an ass backwards government where the President apparently gets to spend whatever money he wants on whatever he wants to spend it on unless Congress can find the votes to tell him no

“forcing”? Unless they Clockwork Orange’d him that headline’s word choice is bullshit

Wouldn’t have happened if he was on Pixelfed instead

That is some clean zip tie work

Same asshole move we saw from way too many Dem leaders in 2020 when George Floyd protests were happening, and similar to asshole moves we saw from the same people in 2024 against anti-genocide protesters. Democratic party must do better on this.

People should be able to expect better from a Dem governor

Ah, so he’s not actually doing anything anyone else couldn’t do, he’s just asking other people to do something. That makes more sense but I would not have gotten that out of this headline.

Crazy their state constitution allows the governor to just unilaterally impose taxes like this, I would have thought that would be something their legislature has to do
