Posse comitatus is taught at the military academies & OCS. Everyone I know understands the grave importance of it. They are also understand & live by the motto "De oppresso liber". Despite Hegseth not remembering a single word of the oath he swore, I think he will find that those around him do.

I looked up the Cardinals name right when it was announced. The page had been replaced with a place hold & already said Pope Leo XIV. Seriously, I checked 30 seconds after listening to the announcement from the balcony. New page up 1 minute after that.

There is an old joke. In the EU they consider 200 miles a long distance and 200 years a short time. In the US we consider 200 miles a short distance and 200 year a long time.

Useless theatre. How about making better cars that can compete? BYD is making amazing advances in EVs and the US manufacturing is making the same old stuff. How about sponsoring a bill focused on R&D to compete.

I received the same email. I am out of town but going to try to change my flight home to make it. I have always been on the fence with her and have made an effort to contact her office in the past. This vote however is a bridge too far.

My cat does the same thing. They feel abandon. People think they can just leave a ton of food & water & they will be fine. This is not true. They are social animals. We get much better results when we have the neighbors teenage kid come over once a day, feed them & pet them for a bit.

I think her point is since he does not meet her expectations completely his voice is useless. This is why the Democrats loose. He is fighting the same fight and is an ally to the preservation The Republic. Right now that is the only cause that matters as if we loose that any other cause dies.

There are no Democrats now. There are only those that are willing to fight to save The Republic and those that passively walk their way into Fascism. If MLK followed the lead of the Democratic party at this point we would still have segregation. Total resistance is the only path.

The House stood firm and @schumer.senate.gov made it worthless by caving on the vote. Holds on all nominees, no unanimous consent. It is the only path forward. We are not in a normal time. The Republic must stand.

If I was sitting across the table from the Democrats my intuition would to be to never give an inch because the Democrats have taught the GOP that they will cave. Democrats need to reset that expectation & this was the time. The future of our Republic is at stake. It is time to fight.

The Democrats should have made a ton of noise about the Republican shutdown until the pressure on some members of the GOP in both houses of congress cracked. The Democrats alway blink first & that is why we are here. They never have the stomach for a fight & never message correctly.

Just as speculative as yours predicted that not passing it would have resulted in disaster. We have a disaster now because it was just an reinforcement that the Democrats will cave. Would my path have been better? No way to know, but at this point fighting is better than rolling over.

Also the CR contained a provision that blocked privileged resolution that would help block these crazy tariffs.

He is fighting with the old rule book thinking his opponents will act rationally. The only course now is 100% obstruction. Holds on everything. No unanimous consent on anything. The Republic is at stake and the Democrats need a leader that is prepared to fight. No compromise, The Republic above all.

Zero proof there would have been a shutdown of more then a few days. The House Rs passed their bill & went into recess to dare the Ds to defy them. The House Democrats stood firm & Chuck betrayed them. He folded without a fight. They knew he would cave which is why they had the power to do this.

#DumpChuck. @schumer.senate.gov has to go. He is a weak leader that voted to allow the CR go to a vote.

@schumer.senate.gov you need to go.

There are 44 other democrats that should try. They should keep this going for the next 44 days.

Too bad you voted to allow the vote on the CR to go ahead. You need to go and turn over leadership to someone that will not backdown like you did.
