I’d like to meet the version of Democratic leadership he’s talking about. They should do a press conference or something.

Reposted from Sam Lisker

House approps. chair Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) says a topline number is "not the roadblock" in govt. funding negotiations.

"Democrat leadership remains laser-focused on restricting presidential authority. It’s a non-starter and battle they lost to the American people."

Deadline is March 14.

Never mind the Dem leadership, the eagerness of the congressional GOP to castrate themselves continues to amaze.

Presidential authority is kept in check by Congress and The Judiciary. Being elected President doesn't allow you to become king.

Right? Why is he able to better portray the Dems as fighters and than anyone in the D side?

Dems should demand Musk testify under oath before considering any budget deal.

'I tell them every time we meet that they've already lost, yet they won't help us'.

Yeah, keep spinning Tom Cole.

ah, "the contrarian" Tom Cole (R-OK). Washes with dirt, drys with water. 🐍 walks backwards when entering a room or hall.

Press conference? What's that, Demo leaders ask.

They are keeping that laser focused really low. 😐

As far as we know.

Amazing that a Chairman of the Appropriations Committee can't count enough to know that they are in the majority.

The trust the plan version is that they want to stay radio silent while negotiating and not have the R media complex jump on anyone waffling until the vote happens.

I also don’t understand the premise of the GOP position. You have a majority? Go and pass your budget. You don’t have the votes? Then you’ll have to agree to some compromise.
