I don’t think I have ever felt so angry and betrayed by Schumer and the other senators who followed him. They will regret what they have done. And this is not a threat, but a reality check. I don’t understand why they didn’t stand up against this CR.
We do, but splitting the dem party right now would ensure republicans continue to control everything for generations, or forever… just look to the United Kingdom as a cautionary tale when the left split, ensuring conservative control for a long time. GOP has to simultaneously split for safety
Y’all keep saying that and I’m sure it’s true but where is the internal memo, taped conversation, uncovered draft legislation to back up this claim? I’m not the journalist or political expert. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
What kind of a 'wealthy person' would accept a tax break on the back of old, poor or ill children or seniors? - - That doesn't sound much like a "man" or someone that is truly wealthy, does it? - - - With the exception of the cheeto/felon, DUH! - -
Do you think trump’s praise of Schumer is meant to rile up Democrats into voting for a shut down? Then trump gets what he wants and will accelerate destruction?
While installing a dictator unanswerable to constitutionally defined checks and balances it's the end of the Weimar Republic it's the same thing that Hitler did and it cannot be made a small thing it is the destruction of our democracy not hyperbole
100% 8.4 trillon spent in 4 yrs & 2 trillion of tax cuts all mostly for the ultra rich who own the GOP & some democratic neo liberals during 91 charged criminal 4yrs of disasters! Then they want trillions more this one on us
if we are not marching every state & removing
bribery in politics!
And and and, increase the deficit they so often campaign on lowering because "we need to get our fiscal house in order" or something like that. The Great Lie
Absolutely! Greed is a sickness. If the wealthy and large corporations paid even 10-20% of their net income, they’d still be extremely rich. Why do people in the low to middle income brackets have to carry the burden? Don’t the wealthy benefit from the services that taxes support?
the CR in place no shutdowns can happen LEGALLY! Must be done by super majority in senate. 127 lawsuits right now against doge by Dems in congress. Dems have won ALL court cases except 1 so far This is stopping trump ILLEGAL actions. In govt shutdown US prez LEGALLY can shut down ALL
Molly- you have the microphone. Let’s start “We have the power of the purse” CEO’s should not be scared of Trump- they should be scared of who buts their products and services. “WE ARE THE PURSE” be scared…..be very scared. GOP,DEMS,IND- we are strong together.
It doesn’t even come close to paying for it. They’re just gonna do tax cuts, dramatically increase the deficit, and cut services to punish people they don’t like (nearly everyone)
That may be what they say, but I’m not so sure. I believe it. Trump has no loyalty. I believe their plan is to do everything they can to bankrupt America and flea.
And democrats have yet to find a message for fighting this. They’re capitulating to the Republican messaging. It’s cowardly and beyond embarrassing. If they can’t spin this CR and shutdown as 100% on Republicans, they might as well quit politics and sell clay pots.
Besides death for millions living on SS and needing MM health insurance, the spike in unemployed workers, a repeat of 1932 Smoot Hawley Tariff War, US is guaranteed a great depression.
This is all to sow chaos to benefit Vladimir Putin's expansionist agenda in Europe.
Tax cut for the wealthy is merely a way to get the wealthy to abandon every American ideal. I kind of think Republican donors should be held mortally responsible for surrendering our country to a foreign power.
Don't you wish they had an editing component? one of the few decent improvements Threads made over Xitter. Lets you edit for a few minutes after posting. I make tons of mistakes when (anger) posting from my phone. Which happens a lot lately.
I guess we finally have the answer to 'when is enough enough' for the wealthy, because it's obvious now they just want everything. It's all just so gross.
It’s worse. It’s part of their concept to turn the dial back to industrial magnates in a protectionist economy instead of a service based global trade economy. The dollars hegemony will be damaged so they are trying to reinforce it with crypto currency reserves. Massive disruption will result.
1)Ya know, I am really weary of all this consultant-speak- weasel-wording. It's always 'the wealthiest Americans'; the 'well-to-do-and well connected'; the 'wealthiest among us'...
Dammit, it's The Rich. Period.
Can Japan & China just call our notes to be paid. I'd almost rather be bankrupt from paying our bills than watch this obscene spending amidst all the lies about it.
Trump isn’t negotiating with Putin—he’s obeying him. From wanting Canada as the 51st state to eyeing Greenland and the Panama Canal, it’s all about justifying Putin’s Greater Russia dream. America, don’t be fooled!
Chuck Schumer is a Traitor to Dems!
Fuck him
I'm done !
If Chuck won't fight why should I.
We lost 2 days before the battle started!
Schumer is a pissant mother fucer
That’s why your country is broke! Hollowed out by the wealthy who don’t pay taxes. Why aren’t you people getting out your torches and pitchforks already? Do you like it or something?
As are the tariffs. So many Americans don’t seem to understand that when the tariffs are collected at the border, the money is given to the US government. They are charging the American people a 25% tax but just not calling at that and pretending that somebody else pays
I'm not convinced. I think Trump thinks if he can commandeer control of the country, Canada, & Greenland, Panama Canal, South African natural resources, he, personally, can be as wealthy as Putin. This isn't for anyone else. This is for his stupid self, stupid bc he's a doddering old man.
JMHO (w receipts) we are in the midst of oil wars. The democracies on the globe & their satellites decided to phase oil out. THAT is how this all started. RussiaRussiaRussia, T* & his uber baggage, & the annoying interference of democracies over rich hoarders/oil barons had 2b stopped.
You know they're just people, right? They aren't invulnerable. They aren't immortal. They aren't gods. They aren't infallible. They've just convinced themselves and you that they can't be touched.
Why don’t people get this! Tens of thousands lose their jobs which will possibly mean they lose their houses and top it off by losing their investments and retirement with the stock market nosedive so the top 1-5% get more and more then they will ever need. And they makes excuses for him.
This is literally exactly how the Soviet Union collapsed. If anyone wants to spend the next 7 hours drinking and learning about that, this is such a great documentary.
The parallels are 1:1. It’s truly wild how fast the West succumbed to same concentrated forces that dismantled the USSR. Greed.
With all due respect, Molly, the cumulative actions thus far show that this is about much more than tax cuts. It's about destroying the existing systems of government and civil society in order for very wealthy people to completely consolidate wealth and power.
New York's schumer and gillibrand led the charge to get Dems to vote yes.
They did so to appease Wall Street and end the selloff, which "coincidentally" is in New York!!
In other words they're more worried about their wallets than they are about their employers? These motherfuckers have made more than enough money on the backs of the taxpayer. Anybody hired in the last century needs to go the fuck away for good and take your corrupt money with you
After the very wealthy already got a huge tax break that cost the country last time. Trump’s last cut meant that he alone added 25% to the national debt. One president in one term added one quarter of the country’s current debt. All to help the already wealthy get richer. Crazy
Dow is up 600 today. That indicates current tariff levels and DOGE cuts are factored in. When the markets rise so will trump's approval numbers (which aren't even bad now)
I'm beginng to suspect the unfortunate truth is that people won't actually start an outright revolt until they feel a lot more pain, a lot more directly than seeing it inflicted on someone else on the news.
The only advantage we have is sheer numbers. With trump controlling the military and its advanced weapons, tar and feather sounds absolutely quaint. Though he has pissed a lot of veterans off.
I keep asking this. I am older, ill, and a remarkably large target (a joke) but I will do my part. We need leaders. We need people who will stand up. This isn’t a handful of people meeting in a tavern to throw tea off a ship.
The French didn't need a strategic vision when they lopped off the heads of the aristocracy or when they go on a nationwide strike to show their displeasure at the parliament. Americans need to do a General Strike and put the GOP back on its heels b/c $$$ is all they care about.
They did and do in my estimation. Robespierre for example. Their vision could be as simple as “no king”. But I somewhat misspoke. I am looking for people with STRATEGIC vision I meant stategy. If we are going up against a seriouly armed force we need strategy too not just pitchforks.
Focus group: Trump swing voters in Michigan have buyers' remorse.
✅ 10 of 13: isn't what they thought they were voting for.

No darling it's deeper than that. trump wants to fashion the US after Russia. He thinks he can be Putin. That's how stupid he is. We need to debilitate his cash cow , Elon. Then watch humpty trumpy implode.

We're in an ideological fight, not a political one.
marginalize and control women and the working class
no seat at the table
Call each of these Senators to NOT vote with the GOP & instead grow a spine. Each number starts with 202-224
Schumer - 6542
Hassan - 3324
Peters - 6221
Durbin - 2152
Schatz - 3934
King - 5344
Shaheen - 2841
Fetterman - 4254
Cortez Masto - 3542
Gillibrand - 4451
And there are some Dems in that bucket too.
if we are not marching every state & removing
bribery in politics!
For every $1 cut, the wealthy get $10 in cuts. They don't care about the debt. They never have.
1 billion seconds=32 yrs
These people will never spend what they already have, but they will steal from us just to have more.

Then why aren't the DEMS "United" like how the GOP is united with an 🍊💩felon! 🤬😤
I'm collecting so much money because, I'm fucking cussing all the time!
Maybe we can hasten their depature

It's both..
This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!
They are becoming the enemy.
How hard is that for the Democrats message.
We have to demand the two ways that ensure fair representation:
#Anti-Corruption Legislation
With real Teeth
#RCV
To get rid of safe seats. No seat should be safe.
Dammit, it's The Rich. Period.
It makes no sense to me otherwise!!
Fuck him
I'm done !
If Chuck won't fight why should I.
We lost 2 days before the battle started!

Fuck me, seriously, you are such a clueless fucking nation.
Snakes and cowards living in a shithole country.
Gov shutdown means no more democracy. That's better - Putin/Musk funded oilgarch martial law dictatorship.
riots guns death dissidents flown to siberia..
way better putin than trump
Meanwhile Millions struggle to survive on minimum wage.

Touch them. Where it hurts.
It's the THEFT of PUBLIC assets to the American OLIGARCHS - JUST as Putin and his OLIGARCHS did after the fall of the USSR!
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT COINCIDENTAL!!!!!
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!

Votes from your pocket book are better counted than from your polling station.
We are still in a two party/one oligarchy system. Status Quo D's will not help us.
It's so that Leon and Captain Underpants can steal all of our tax dollars directly. Screw tax cuts. That's for the underling rich people.
They intend to steer all of our tax receipts into their pockets. I don't think they'll even try to disguise it.
