This is insane. Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov What are the implications to the states if Congress stops functioning? @chrislhayes.bsky.social

errplain.bsky.social•2 days ago

This. I sent a letter to my state senator asking what happens when the federal government stops functioning or threatening its citizens. Would they consider legislation to escrow federal taxes? How will we defend ourselves against a tyrannical military? Will state and local law enforcement stand up?

marcosantana.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov Do this for state citizens. Cc @governorwalz.mn.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov

Congress needs to do it's damn job. They are just going along at this point. They have totally abandoned their role in the checks and balances of the 3 branches of government.

I think it's better that they don't

If they *did* have a vote on it, the GOP would cut all funding/jobs in blue states but leave all the red states to continue hoovering up all the blue state tax dollars

This way, they get to 'enjoy' the results of their fuckery like the rest of us

The constitution is dead.

The self-proclaimed defenders of the constitution let it die - it wasn't the "woke" who killed it.

Wasn't the CyberTruck created under muskrat's watch?

Hasn't the CyberTruck been unreliable?

If the CyberTruck is worse than 91% of all 2024 vehicles doesn't that mean that muskrat is worse that 91% of all CEOs?

Ever single Republican lawmaker is a coward and a traitor. They will pay at the polls and I don't think Musk and Russia can, or will bother to, fix all the voting machines in their favor.

comedycatnip.bsky.social•2 days ago

They no longer need them.

Republican Senators assume it's now a dictatorship.

ghostofgroucho.bsky.social•2 days ago

THIS IS GOOD! This will take it from ONE man held up in DC to your YOUR LOCAL REP who is reachable in their office or homes!
When THEY cut your Social Security it will have THEIR name on it!
Keep your powered dry and your aim true! I have 300K in my SS account. Taking MY money is theft!

flywrangler.bsky.social•2 days ago

While I'm in support of more efficient govt (as most ppl are) running govt like a startup or tech company makes no sense.

Dems and Republicans need to get their balls back and take control of the Muskrat.

errplain.bsky.social•2 days ago

Republicans have the power to end all of this right now. They are choosing not to. Pathetic cucks. Why don't they just let Elon sit on the dais so they have easier access to his dick.

bonfire25.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is so surreal.

legalgeekjb.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are asking a non-elected, drug-fueled billionaire who does not have the power of the purse to "let" them vote? 👀

rabinpw.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not like there’s any conflict of interests, with him being a government contractor and all.

legalgeekjb.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh, definitely not. 😣

santasama.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why aren’t the civil servant unions calling a general strike of government workers? If Trump tried to pull something like this in France, Paris would be ground to a halt with mass protest marches, offices occupied etc.

nacifan.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s rich. Hey Congress, there is a thing you can do yourself. Pass a law with a veto proof majority.

therealzachmann.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’ve never seen a more spineless group of humans ever assembled than the Republican Party in 2025. Being told what to do by an unelected tool because this tool can finance their campaigns or run candidates against them if they don’t play ball is surely what our forefathers wanted.

kmschubring.bsky.social•1 day ago

That goes against Unitary Executive Theory & basically Musk runs the government while Trump golfs, goes to NASCAR with the Beast, Super Bowl & a UFC match on the taxpayers dime. Trump gets to play the character of President. 12 days golfing in 44 days. So 1/3 of the time he has been on vacation.

sfjulio415.bsky.social•2 days ago

Besides Nazis I wanna know who is still buying teslas? I’m assuming some sort of shady gov contract to some country like turkey 🇹🇷 or something like that. Because all the liberals who bought them in 2014 are getting rid of them and their only customers now are cybertruck customers.. they’re FUCKED

mocad70.bsky.social•2 days ago

So they want to have a say in a FAKE ORGANIZATION? Putting the horse before the cart...FML!!!

chefberg.bsky.social•2 days ago

If one party can’t seem to stand up for our Constitution and the independence of the three branches of government then they should lose their jobs.

sdmarch1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Can’t make it up. These cucked Republicans have no integrity, pride or shame. Their subservient nature knows no low.

katzyax.bsky.social•2 days ago

Huh? Why does the Republican-led Senate need Musk's approval?

x033.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because that's how a dictatorship works

bluecarcharodon.bsky.social•2 days ago

OR... why are we paying for a Senate?

engineerhawk.bsky.social•2 days ago

It seems you could replace every GOP representative and senator with a subservient dog and obtain the same results. How about that for cost savings?

athenabird.bsky.social•2 days ago

Think of it: no salaries, no offices, no staff, no expense accounts…what’s not to like!

Will the Republicans still defer to Musk when the economy is a shambles and Musk's companies are filing for bankruptcy?

wiese2154.bsky.social•2 days ago

There is only one answer: Get rid of Republicans.

toonspin.nl•2 days ago

I think the answer is you guys need to split both the Democrats and the Republicans up into like four parties each. If they are all roughly the same size, toeing the party line is useless and they will have to actually do politics.

wiese2154.bsky.social•2 days ago

First Just get rid of the Republicans. They are destroying the American Economy and they are making the United States into a horrible place.

toonspin.nl•2 days ago

Okay but then you basically have one party which - and I hasten to add that I'm not an American - wouldn't be my preference.

wiese2154.bsky.social•2 days ago

It would be better than what we have now. Why do we need any political parties?

toonspin.nl•2 days ago

That's a different discussion but I guess you like totalitarianism - you do you.
