Donald Trump and Elon Musk need to come up with trillions for a tax break for the wealthiest Americans.

And to pay for it, everything is on the chopping block.

And the democrats do nothing! A tweet here and there! A few hours in the office here and there; then off home to put their feet up by the fire to check their stock portfolio! The people are angry, yet you seem so sublime! Why? Could it be because you benefit from the status quo, are happy with this?

carmsblue.bsky.social•5 days ago

So we all know they’re traitors to this country. They’ve cheated to win. They’re breaking laws left and right. They’ve literally hijacked our building and fucking living in it? It’s illegal what they’re doing, we know it, the whole fucking world knows it. Arrest the fuckers! Enough already!

Yes, the administration's tax policies have significantly reduced federal revenue, necessitating compensatory cuts to government programs that many Americans rely on, thereby prioritizing tax relief for the wealthy over the maintenance of critical public services.

Cool… does that mean you’re going to stop voting to confirm Trump’s cabinet nominees? Because that would be a really 🤬 nice place to start.

What they have saved so far is a grain of sand. The big savings are coming.. Medicare and Social Services which make up 20% of the budget!!

Almost definitely cutting SNAP. Inflation, tariffs, and SNAP cuts would push people to the brink of rebellion. And then he gets to invoke martial law.

Yeah, that's it. "tax break for the wealthiest Americans". It's original. It'll probably catch on as a slogan for somebody somewhere.

And... It's illegal. Unconstitutional. And until Republicans and Democrats are willing to enforce the Constitution by impeaching Trump, we have no Constitution.

gwenifer59.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t get how they’re still doing it and not in handcuffs. By the time someone with balls to pull them out we not only don’t have a constitution, we don’t have our country. I work in IT. Turning off access to secure a system isn’t hard.

fairverona.bsky.social•5 days ago

It means our government is complicit. Republicans voted for all of the cabinet picks despite warnings. They're for this. These are their values.

dan-marq.bsky.social•5 days ago

The corrupt Republican controlled Congress sold out the US government!

Republicans no longer represent the citizens.

Elon Musk owns them.

fairverona.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think it goes back further than Musk. But I agree, Republicans hate Americans.

gwenifer59.bsky.social•3 days ago

And, he released the thugs on day one, why? To send a message to senate that if you go against me, my thugs are ready to take you out. So we pay the price of them not doing their jobs. What’s new about that? Threat is bigger now though.

fairverona.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think Trump is the mastermind, or Musk. Musk buys his ideas. Trump = ideology. Musk = finance. Heritage Foundation might be. But I sincerely don't know enough. This is all way too organized for either of them.

gwenifer59.bsky.social•2 days ago

100% agree. Dump isn’t smart enough. Don’t use his real name. And don’t capitalize it - he doesn’t deserve that respect.

gwenifer59.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree, but I see threats against their families as the reason they are selling us out. They didn’t vote to convict during the 2nd impeachment. Why? Jan 6 rioters are violent thugs and their master would’ve sent them to make them pay. They didn’t think they’d have to deal with him again.

demandside.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, there ARE the Courts who are ruling and will rule that Article I prohibits an Elon Musk making decisions on spending. I mean they can find gun rights in a footnote, Amendment 2, so they can read the plain text of Article I.

deanshaffer.bsky.social•5 days ago

There are, but courts can't enforce their orders without the executive, and the president appears to be immune from liability for criminal contempt. So Trump gloats about his refusal to obey those orders:

demandside.bsky.social•5 days ago

Disobeying the courts is a no-go for the plutocrats. They depend on the courts. Shaking that foundation breaks trust in all sorts of things and accelerates the Trump crash that is coming.
Trump will see how far he can push it, but it won't be very far. imho

deanshaffer.bsky.social•5 days ago

I certainly hope you're right. My fear is that even the plutocrats but off more than they can chew. Once the executive starts disregarding the constitution, the plutocrats' grip is broken, too: you can't buy elections that don't happen or won't have consequences for the unaccountable executive.

deanshaffer.bsky.social•5 days ago

*bit* off. Why does my autocorrect think "bit" is not a word?

infinitygate.bsky.social•5 days ago

Remove him. Don't ask for permission, just declare impeachment & evict. That's how the Republicans work

Everything and EVERYONE! We aren't safe. Our jobs aren't safe. Our benefits aren't safe, our taxes and finances aren't safe, our skies aren't safe and they are building concentration camps. God only knows what is happening at Gitmo.

indianamelba.bsky.social•5 days ago

So come up with a better strategy than whatever it is that Schumer has. Appeasement doesn't work. Fight back. Look at the Dear Colleague letter from the Department of Education. It's appalling. Sue the government. Take your message to the people. Enough with the complaints.

What is the senate doing publicly to combat thus outrageous behavior. I expect to see Democrats to yell and scream every day all day. I can only name 2 people prominently pushing back. I've written to my senators to no avail. They will pay in the next elections..bye

gwenifer59.bsky.social•5 days ago

If there is another election. Dumpy promised us we’d never have to vote again, remember? He is now X owner’s lapdog and riding the wave, completely ignoring court rulings and judges’ saying you can’t do that. I won’t say either of their names but I’m sure you know who is who in this response.

Me thinks you’re worried about things that assume they will work within the traditional rule of law and government machinations.
They have shown they don’t really care about that.
Maybe one to come up with a new plan?

billstewart.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is this a NEW tax break for them, or is this re-upping his last term's $1.7T/year tax cut on rich people he paid for by running up record high deficits and then blaming Biden for the resulting inflation?

jeffisontheroad.bsky.social•5 days ago

Do you know what would be really nice? If we had an opposition party.

And it still wont pay for it.

Oh yeah, that's right!

NOTHING.

Do something, please.

Thank you for all you are doing to push back against the illegal and chaos driven actions of POTUS.

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•5 days ago

They cut funding to disability programs for kids. There isn't a hell hot enough.

enzibzianna.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hell is an uncertain prospect. They need to be made to suffer in this life.

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh, my apologies. I figured the awful remainder of their lives was implied.

Both. Both things.

Good to know our Senate scribe and republicans behaving badly reporter is on the job bringing us news we already knew. Maybe while he is there he could do something else like take positive action and do something real to stop our states descent into fascism. Just a thought.

It is much worse than just that, Trump and Elon are about to start World War III. You need to start see it all for what it is Adam. USA have been taken over by NAZI’s

onemoney.bsky.social•5 days ago

California is, economically, the most powerful state in the Union. I hope you and your fellow elected Democrats are prepared to launch marches, occupations, strikes, and other protests sufficient to shut down DC and stop the madness. We want our nation back!

reno419.bsky.social•5 days ago

I must respectfully say Mr Shiff that if our elected Democratic representative's don't do something about this - we will. They're corruption and your inaction is going to tear this country apart. And I mean literally tear it apart.

When is this going to stop, and is there anyone out there that will stop this?

lez33.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s a coup you need to look around the world at how coups are stopped and act like a leader.

So. What. Are. Your. Plans?

The Democrats are a shit show atm.

betio.bsky.social•5 days ago

Senator Schiff. What are you and other Dems going to do about all this? Are we really that helpless? The only thing I have going is Feb 28 but its something rather than nothing.

mr-gecko.bsky.social•5 days ago

When Trump invites the world’s richest man to smash the government like a piggy bank in order to grab billions in tax cuts … that's THE conflict of interest.

Are their laws with respect to conflict of interest, or just gentlemen's agreements that can be ignored?

purple-dot.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are sufficiently outraged. I didn't see a plan of action. I understand the dems are the minority but honestly, if you aren't part of the solution then you are part of the problem. Right now the dems are nothing more than talking heads. Where's the leadership? What's the plan?

octagarian.bsky.social•5 days ago

Disregard that Big Balls will soon have access to the IRS treasure trove, providing access to all our tax return and demographic info, thus permitting the creation of the hit list they so desire.

You’ve lost the plot Schiff staffers.

So why the fuck are you not doing anything real. We are past talking or sending letters - for the love of God do something or resign and let someone else who understands take these fuckers out

ninawinnie.bsky.social•5 days ago

If they get access to the IRS, can they just take all of our tax money and skip the whole annoyance of having Congress approve its use? Basically, can they skip the whole constitution?

mtnmystic.bsky.social•5 days ago

You’re trying to play the ruthless game on the field by the rules of the last century. Those days are long gone. Dems better shift to street brawling, because you’re getting your a**es handed to you hourly. The American people are paying the price. Get those f*ckers out of IRS! And everywhere else!

teeganburke.bsky.social•5 days ago

You have to do something. Medicare Medicaid and Social Security are not negotiable. People’s lives depend on these benefits. 🍊💩 let almost a million people die during covid, he will have no problem killing more of us if it makes him wealthier

Open an office in #California.

Have more than one phone line that always has the messages full.

Work round the clock WITH the entire California Congressional Dem group to STOP THIS.

3ndora.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, at the very least we should be able to speak with a staffer. That is basic administrative housekeeping. Handle your voice mail.

Musk now seeks access to the I.R.S.
What could he possibly want with that data?
He wants to steal that data for his GROK A.I.
Destroy personal lives of the people that the king hates.
He wants to smash those who challenge the coup!
Stop the billionaire!
Stop the "king"
America Strong!

kenbalcombe.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wish you luck in your fight Mr Schiff. We need more like you to stand up to America's Hitler (as JD Vance put it).
