Senate Republicans should recognize that this is their last chance to save the Republic. They can be strong now, and stand up to Trump, or surrender to tyranny forever.

Trump is speaking out of appointees mouths.
All of Trump’s appointees
are going to say & do
what Trump tell them to say & do.

All of them are sock puppet toadies for Trump’s dictates.

Trump is a Jim Jones/David Koresh/Marshall Applewhite
Cult Type Motif,

A mass-psychosis / Psychic epidemic

big decision - yes - don't cave. @ocasio-cortez.house.gov is right on target - you either fight FOR the American people - they are watching and they know who is responsible for current govt situation - or with anti-American repubs and feckless dems. @olbermann.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

Bullies, extortionists and dictators are devoid of empathy, entertained by oppression and only as strong as we give them power to be.

When the population is poor, hungry, unable to meet living expenses or healthcare needs, ill, afraid and feel defeated, they die off early, become desperate and compliant. This is where trump is taking America, where every dictator and bully takes his victim and where trump wants to take the world.

Typical behavior of the MAGA REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Can't rely on Democrats. Weak!

Republican Senators could have stopped the Trump Tariff War but they have abdicated their power to help. They have failed Americans and their office.
Democratic Senators should stand up for Americans AND the Constitution and Vote NO on the CR Interim Bill. Be strong and very visible for America.

As devastating as it is to shut down the government, if we don’t take a stand now, then when will our next opportunity be?

I don’t understand why a team can’t be mandated to oversee all of this. There should be a team on both sides of the aisle when it comes to the American people’s money. This is only affecting the most vulnerable in our country who will defend them?

You’re working on the assumption that it was ever meant to defend anyone but the monied.

Don’t expect much from Schumer as he is weak minded and will cave, unfortunately.

Democratic leadership had closed door meetings with Elon Musk. No transcripts? Howcome? What deals were made?
