As far as I understand it, 10 Democrats voted for the Republican budget because, if they didn't vote for it, there might be a government shutdown which would give Trump the power to fire federal employees and shut down agencies -- TWO THINGS TRUMP AND MUSK ARE ALREADY DOING ON A DAILY BASIS

Every single person who voted YES took money from AIPAC in 2024.
Add it up folks.
The rest of them are just cucks.
The biggest disappointment is Schatz.
We need new leadership NOW.
Question is will it get done. I want Sanders or Warren up there, but it's not going to happen with all these "decorum" hurdles.

A government shutdown would close the federal courts which dems need to quickly push back on Rump and his subversion. Lose/lose situation.

2) King
3) Schatz
4) SCHUMER

Today, they made him a king.
They could’ve made the story about Trump & Musk, put all the pressure on the GOP, but nope. Now it’s all about feckless D leadership.
Playing 1 dimensional twiddlywinks!

If there's a an expert who wants to explain the nuance of how it would, I'm all ears.
When the political backlash was supposed to be on the GOP it will now be on the Democrats.
And not just unilaterally by tRump and Muskrat?
Is the budget crappy? Probably. Will it hurt people? Probably. But there's no denying it's a *Republican* budget. We need to reach the 2/3.
They’ll always blink first. Always.
Now it's all legit with no time bounds.

Result = DOGE Makes the Deficit Goes Up! 😶
or DOGE cuts your Medicaid, SSA, Medicare, federal job..
or both
You can probably guess what is coming next. 📉
They made it possible for Republicans to kill ss Medicare and Medicaid through reconciliation.
What did that achieve?
My dark fear here is that the yes votes don't believe there will future elections to oust them.
