Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

If the GOP can't raise the debt limit by themselves then they should ask for help publicly. Horse trading behind the scenes is guaranteed to backfire as the word of trump and the GOP should not be trusted
Burn the USA to the ground. We aren’t united. We’re divided into Nazis and free people, but none of us deserve what we willingly threw away.
Fuck this country.
Give it to them.
I hope they enjoy the leopards eating their faces.
My first thought was committee chairs in the house
But I think maybe a better thing in return would be to include a full repeal of the 1807 insurrection act in the bill?
It repeatedly commands mass genocide.
The U.S. was founded by white religious fanatics who thought they were “god’s chosen people” and invaded America, slaughtered 25+ million Natives, and stole their land.
It’s why the Evangelical cult backs Trump.
No, Democrats need to stand firm, for once. Do not help the GOP pass a single awful thing.
Removed the unvetted unelected walking talking conflict of interests from We The People's business
No help until the criminal conduct stops AND IS RECTIFIED.
Otherwise they get away with everything. The IGs are still gone, fed employees still illegally targeted & terminated, critical government infrastructure still compromised, USAID still dead, etc.
Make him apologize for something before giving him anything.
"You have the majority. If you want the criminal conduct to continue, then you're going to have to own it. We will not."
Anything else, they can fuck off!

Shut it all down. For four years.

Or, just point and laugh
Make them sweat
Unfortunately, they probably won't use them on someone with money.
Sorry, it was the only thing that came to mind. I had to!
3 month extension in exchange for good behavior!
Arrest Elon for wire fraud, espionage, and foreign influence.
GOP Regions and People would absolutely collapse without the funding Democrats always protect.
And that’s a pretty safe bet.

But... Does a government shutdown stop Musk?
Bet he'd help since when he's not falling down stairs or freezing he's an honorary dem these days.
& Jefferies
"McConnell crippled this nation under Obama with only 40 Senators and 179 Representatives
We expect you to do no less with 47 and 215"
Sick of these people feathering their own nests. Especially can't handle Elon Musk running around telling other people they are spending wastefully.
They can also extract a lot more out of them, and the “stop doing these things and we’ll help” will see those things start right back up after the help is provided.
Fund the government when they’re all swinging from ropes on the mall.
Help them on nothing.
NOTHING.
Deals with fascists are deals with fascists.
Sack up.
Options are:
1. Extend the debt limit ONLY on a quarterly basis and thereafter extend only IF the lawlessness stopped;
2. Consider tying it to court reform to speed presidential action cases.
The GOPers want tax cuts, expensive deportation funding and maintain purity on deficit spending. Good luck with that.
Ask nicely “please stop”
That’s all?
If Trumpist cretins need Dems, then Dems should be ruthless. As in Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons ruthless.
He said one idea people floated would have slowed things for 10 minutes
I know we all think we are experts on all things like Trump but we really aren’t nor is he
I absolutely see the same strategy going on now
It’s not how we defeat this
We defeat it by behaving like maga not our elected but we the voters
Be United against Rs
We must understand why we are divided, and address that.
Are we United against Elons Shadow Government? The dismantling of our Constitutional rights? Against crimes against humanity? Are we United by clean air & water protections? Employee protections? Consumer protections?
2025
It’s way too late.
It would be just as bad for the Dems to shut the government down this way as it would have been for the GOP all the times they threatened to over much smaller issues.
At this point, though, that may be the lesser evil. There's no path out where we emerge unscathed.
Our only hope at this point is a few gop resigning, defecting or dying to flip the house and immediately turn to investigations and impeachment.
I knew we couldn’t last 4 years. I don’t know about 2 now.
Let those capital hill red hat fuck around society members swing in the wind. FOR FOUR YEARS. Let them self implode.
It is their job to steer the ship of state.
It is the Democrats job to point out the Republican's errors and explain how they would do things better.
Yeah...sure...Republicans will get right on that...just as they are done imposing a theocratic "Christian" nationalist government...which will be some where between Gaza is turned into Israeli Vegas and Never.
My advice: GET PEOPLE TO PUT UP THEIR DUKES!
You have to treat every single Republican like they are Trump, untrustworthy, malicious, con artists.
No chance they keep their word
Mainly, because lies are more compelling than the truth and R’s are the masters of misinformation…
R’s get what they want, D’s look stupid and we’re right back at square 1️⃣
Let R’s do the damage. D’s just need to make it as difficult as possible.
DO. NOT. ASSIST.
That would truly be a miracle 🌟
What's the plan for these three elections?
New York is a long shot but Florida is in play . They screwed the Cubans and Venezuelans already .
But we should be ready to see disappointing results nonetheless.
They're the governing party. Make them own their failures.
