A word of advice for Dems in Congress. For once in your miserable lives PLAY HARDBALL! Don't help them. They never help you! SHUT IT ALL DOWN! Let the country experience GOP "leadership" the way it really works.

Let’s start with Hakeem Jeffries. Pelosi knew how to twist arms. Too bad Pelosi is too old and already history. The ones worth paying attention to need to break away and become independent.
It is hard for the older citizens on social security. These idiots don't give a damm. Besides I agree that the nasty blokes would do even more harm with the shutdown.
I'm a lifelong Democrat and have never been moved to action by being denigrated. I'm sure this is true for our Congresspersons and probably you too. It's also folly to make life saving demands to a group of people you see as beneath contempt. Why ask while you don't think they're up to the job?
I agree-the MAGAT CR cuts spending big time. A CR is supposed to continue current levels of funding. If MAGATs can't agree to that, then fuck em and shut it down
That's what drives me up the wall. They act like the Gop will reciprocate, like they're equal partners at the table. But the Gop NEVER meets them in the middle! They need to stop pretending like they Gop cares and just fight back.
Completely agree with the sentiment, but shutting down hurts us too. Our people, already impacted by VA and SS cuts will be further impacted. Our people working for govt / on contracts won't get paid, making their situation worse. Dems should insist on restoration and tell the public, before voting.
In a demonstration of how much they're listening, Jeffries & Co. took their outspoken colleagues to the woodshed a few days ago. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall of 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 meeting. I can't imagine that the likes of Green, Crockett, & Frost sat meekly while they were berated & then apologized
Abso-fucking- lutely, Andie. It's clear that until genuine pain is felt by his cultists - and they have no one to blame for it but Trump and the GOP - they won't push back on their representatives to rein that asshole in.
