The precedent set today should upset every American who believes in our democratic form of government.
It appears that from now on no major legislation can be passed without the approval of the wealthiest person in this country.
That’s not democracy, that’s oligarchy.

It is very upsetting…
Who do you think decided genocide is okay even though 70% of actual US democrats don't support it?
We the people need to organize with groups like @workingfamilies.org push back on gop, force Dems to be bold inn supper of working people, and hold corps to account

But the Defense Authorization should have been a clear line to draw, a stand to take, a bargaining chip in the coming fight against the Trump administration fearful of looking weak.
Musk knows that Trump is demented & Congress has no balls. He figured he could coast right on in & take over. And he did. Now either Congress acts or cowers.
They see our Government as an obstacle that must be overcome. And they have the means to do iit.
They’re just doing it in the open now.
This just reinforces MAGAs narrative that it's not worth including the alter-abled in public policy discussions.
It's not hard to be inclusive. Bluesky even has a reminder you can turn on to remind you to include Alt text before you post.
They can choose to collectively end the acceptance of donations from the public for campaigns.
But their collective obedience and weakness mean they refuse to even try. Or worse: they like being owned.
Clarence Thomas is a good start but so far, nothing from Democrats. They must approve.
his/her constituents or the country as a whole.
Too many repeat LIES, are unable to display a modicum of integrity, and vote per Trump/Musk vs. honoring voters.
Also, sorry. I get now that you were referring to Sanders as someone who should do something and not OP, which makes more sense. My bad.
Theoretically this is good, since keeping the job should depend on doing things that make your constituents want to vote for you again. Should.
Why transparency is missing from "we the people"
If it is continue resolution, just keep government open.. why add anything else
