As Schumer and the blue gang of ten showed, we have one cartel party ruling America on behalf of an insanely wealthy ruling class, posing as two cartel parties governing the citizens of what once was a Democratic Republic.
if the government shuts down for a month, they then have to reduce the furloughed and laid off workers by 25% so DOGE wins, because they don't need an excuse to fire them. it BENEFITS DOGE to have a shutdown for a month!
I wish the term republican wasn’t used to describe these current “ A’ holes ! There was a time when republicans worked for there constituents ( we the people) and I was proud to vote for them! ( mind you,this was a long time ago)
💯 - I am really sick & tired of ‘Ex-Republicans basing the Democrats on all the talk shows with the exception of Liz Cheney
They left their party instead of fighting to save it
No, it's the Democratic party since they couldn't be bothered to put Trump in prison, ensure people their Constitutional rights, or stop this shit show before it started. Democrats and Republicans need to be destroyed. #revolutionFrenchstyleNOW
Neocons to this day like Bibi and the Republican Party want to have war against Iran 🇮🇷 so badly or even invade it see it has a enemy which so risky, insane, dangerous and stupid because Iran 🇮🇷 is one of the most hardest countries to invade and powerful in military.
I'm so disappointed in Gary Peters. Waiting for his response on why, however, it will probably resemble Schumers. Elissa Slotkin, Michigan's other senator, sent an email immediately after explaining the situation and why she voted no.
Oh, and if he gives you the same excuse as Schumer. Let me debunk that. Necessary essential federal employees don’t get paid during a shutdown. Doge employees are currently being paid the max amount of money they can legally be paid. Cutting off the cash would’ve forced them to the negotiating table
The whole point of doge was to misappropriate funds so musk and Trump other cronies can enrich themselves and fund a tax cut for billionaires. Shutting down, the government would’ve cut off their access to federal funds. Whatever federal employees they deemed essential wouldn’t be paid.
They couldn’t enrich themselves during a shutdown. If there was the potential for a Trump power grab Trump wouldn’t have signed the bill. These 10 people need to resign.
So, I assume you saw Schumer's reason. Would you rather have a shutdown that allows Trump to finish gutting the government, only this time legally? In the event of a shutdown, the executive branch determines what government functions are necessary and can legally cut funding to everything else.
That man is playing a game that has long since been no longer at play. They are no longer following ettiquete, rules or anything resembling due process and will either get their way through force or through loop holes.
Fight.
I mean, whether you agree with the decision they should all resign. Nothing will change the fact that they allowed Republicans to cut over $1 trillion from Medicaid and snap. When we could’ve just shut down the pay for a fascist regime.
Doge workers are being paid the maximum amount a federal employee can be paid. I have the feeling they probably wouldn’t work for free during a government shutdown. And if you could prove they were getting paid, it’d be illegal. Schumer‘s argument doesn’t pass the civics test.
Also, if this was always a possibility, why did it only become a problem on Thursday? Why was our caucus united when Republicans didn’t have the votes on Wednesday? It’s bullshit. Trump would never pass up a power grab. The courts had an easier time stopping doge before the $1 trillion slush fund.
If a shutdown would’ve given Trump, a huge power grab. He wouldn’t have signed the bill. Trump or musk would’ve been all over social media saying Democrats ruined the bill with DEI and now he can’t sign it and shut down. Like Pelosi said it’s a false choice.
The CR specifically funds many of doges cuts. The reason the cuts were initially illegal in the first place was because they were done without congressional approval. The CR now partly codifies doge, giving them congressional approval.
However, if the government was shut down, you could still stop them via the courts since they started cutting before the shutdown. Also,while the government is shut down, they can’t pay anybody, including doge. Essential federal workers work for free until the government reopens and they get backpay
Once the government is shut down, everything they do becomes legal. They most certainly can pay whoever they want because they get to decide what is necessary. They declare DOGE as a necessary service. Congress is not. All legal. We lose.
Many of us remember the republican party being decent, law-abiding, and respectful elected officials (even though they had different ideas about how our country should legally move forward).

The nazis trying to do settler colonialism in ww2. Tried to destroy the USSR failed. US after ww2. Korea Vietnam Cambodia laos. Cuba chins DPRK. The USSR. made putin inevitable. Still trying to destroy Russia. The CIA admitted Stalin had a democracy. America the real evil
It's unfortunate we didn't recognize the beginning of the decay 40+ years ago. But we've been allowing them to eat away at democracy since Reagan said " unions, we don't need no stinkin' unions" or something to that effect....
You are all a threat to the world.
WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN THIS DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY, BUT YOU AMERICA SEEM TO BE THE WORST. YOU'RE IMMATURE /SELFISH.
YOU NEED TO GROW THE FUCK UP & THINK ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE NOT JUST YOURSELVES, CAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THEN NOTHING CHANGES.
Trump has issued executive orders aimed at stopping investigations into his crimes, his finances, his alleged ties to Russian intelligence, violations of the Constitution or American law. He is making himself a dictator in the US. And he is using same strategy Putin once used.
I'm with Mark Twain all politicians totally suck-some suck more like child rapist trumpers and others suck on the down low like Schumers who keep child rapists in office!
I've always been curious about the Trump supporter hatred of DEI and EEO, and their statement that the most qualified person should get the job. Since when is a, at best, high school educated white man always the most qualified?
The Republican Party was dismantled during and after Trump's first term. There were purges and political revenge against those who remained principled. It's now Putin's party, filled with self-serving cowards.
Mind you, if my hypothesis is correct, it is Russia that infiltrated the Republican Party in hopes of destroying 🇺🇸. It was a strategy that took years to come to fruition, but it has worked & this success did not require Russian bombs or boots on the ground (that would have led to failure). 😨
NEVER FORGET 77 million POORLY EDUCATED MISINFORMED BRAINWASHED EXTREMELY IGNORANT RACIST HOMOPHOBIC CHRISTIAN NOTZIS, & 67% of VETS VOTED FOR A CHILD πOLESTING ADJUDICATED €RAPIST TWICE IMPEACHED
It’s also cowardly Democrats who are willing to fight for Wall Street, but don’t give a crap about the country. You need another color in your handle because there should never be another “blue wave” again after Senate Dems rolled over yesterday.
Democracy died in the U.S. when corporate influence and interests took over. With the exception of AOC and a few others, the Democrats are basically BlackRock. It’s not the Republicans you should be resisting; it’s big corp. Most Americans don’t even actually know what they’re voting for anymore.
the GOP has been the enablers, the spring board,the catalyst for the past 35 years to enact & push every single bill concocted by TheHeritage Foundation,The Federalist Society The Koch Foundation & a myriad of other far right well monied private groups. Far right media assisted with conspiracy.
how did anyone shuffle over their seats?
Black Rock worked to help get the nation out of a severe recession the Dubbya 's Admin pushed us into.
Deese worked in the Biden Admin helped get the economy up,the stock market soaring.401Ks explode.
you see how in 3 weeks tWump is fucking it up.
And if you do no know that the GOP has been planning this coup since Reagan..where have you been?
Sure the Dems are Dims playing nice and maintaining decorum & that got them fucked in the ass w/o lube.
But pleasse do not think that the GQP is innocent or have no part. This is their end game.
Both BlackRock CEOs who were appointed as “senior advisors” to Obama and then Biden. They weren’t so subtle about it with Deese, they basically outright allowed him to run the economy on behalf of BlackRock… sorry on behalf of The President of the United States 🤣😂
Thanks @schumer.senate.gov look what he's cutting next! I mean who cares about minorities, the homeless, community development, history, the news! Right! You sold your soul to Fascist Nazi Russian KKK Trump and MAGA and South African Musk!
Neither R Russia or China threats to Canada, in light of what the US does & has done. Canada,(my country), seems to be worried about interference in our elections by Russia or China becuase of social media posts, or esoteric computer manipulations. But the US has always managed Canada COMPLETELY!
Yes,a GOP that have no conscience or concern for the Constitution, are no longer beholden to the people that voted them into office but only big corporations & singular billionaires.
On the left there are self absorbed,out of touch politicians who can no longer read the room .Sweep them out.
It’s neoliberalism. Both parties have this ideology just one party is get rich quick and attack and punish percieved deplorables and the other is a stabilizing economy but not mainstreet economy while providing milktoast concessions as a way to prevent revolt.
They have all gone out of their minds! How do they think any of frumps & susk ravings are going to help our country? What happened to the republican party’s values? They are all traitors to the United States of America 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏
Donʻt forget the elections and Presidency were bought and paid for by billionaires and complicity by Dems who ignored warnings and solid evidence that this was happening!
The biggest threat we know that is around for ever is the 1%, the few, they/them. We all know it. But every time we turn to the puppets put before us!
Red and blue side must UNITE to get rid of it! To get them out of the offices that effect peoples lives.
If not we will loose for decades to come!
And they get away with threatening you, how? Are they supervillains or just a doddering, witless old pedo and his moron disciples? The so-called resistance seems to only resist fixing the problem. The very, very simple problem.
The Democratic Party is also to blame for not fighting for Americans, being complacent, allowing the Republican Party to steal our elections and destroy our country. The “I hate Trump but can’t vote for a woman so I’ll sit this one out” voters are also accomplices to the murder of America.
Capitalism working as intended. The ruling class increase their wealth with every cycle while the worker suffers. Strange how Obama didn't prosecute those responsible for the '08 crash, huh? Weird how he did the ACA, which was a windfall for the insurance industry and not M4A. 🤔
This is like saying the worst part of the pandemic was the COVID-19 virus itself and not say all the anti-mandate assholes who didn't want to follow even the most basic of rules to keep safe.
Yes, republicans are shit but you don't see many Dems wanting to genuinely fix anything such as ...
2/ killing citizens united, or opening up the constitution to modernize it, or heck, just stop fucking insider trading while in congress, etc and so on.
oh I'm well aware. My philosophy is to cut off the head of the snake first. The buck stops with leadership positions, and if they arent able or willing to do the right thing...

The biggest threat to democracy is 90% of elected officials on both sides. They’re too old to not be a part of the wheel and try at every turn to suppress the young blood fighting for change and the people. It’s about the power they refuse to give up and the $ they’re making. Replace them
I’ll go one further; it’s that part of the electorate that supports them.
The people that we are working with, go to school with, shop with and watch sporting events with. In some cases these people are related to us…
There are fascists amongst us, that’s how fascist get into power…
its actually Netanyahu, all of this mishigosh is a smokescreen for armageddon. When ? I dont know but the target is Iran and it will involve the US in an all out attack on Iran.
#billionaires whether they identify as Republican or Democrat. It’s the ultra rich who are exploiting the working class. And, of course, the politicians that are letting it happen- again, republicans AND (apparently) democrats.
