It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are grinding lifesaving research into diseases like cancer to a halt — all so they can fund a tax break for themselves and their wealthy friends. This puts cures to diseases further away and I’ll fight back every way I can. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/s...

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

@indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social I’m seeing a number of Republicans (in response to pressure I presume) getting themselves interviewed on am. TV….hawking books or spin. Why can’t Democrats get themselves seen, get the message out on mainstream programs!!

We don’t have a government, we have a crime syndicate conceived of and orchestrated by Putin. Engineered to destroy our country from the inside and whose figure-head is a life-long con man. A man who doesn’t possess the intellect to have conceived of one iota of what is being done right now or care.

(📢) This is an ASK ME ANYTHING (AMA) post—my first one in over a year, I think. Ask me any question, on any topic, and I will answer it honestly. (The only rule here is that you have to retweet this post before you ask your question, so that there will be at least _some_ audience for the answers.)

Today in ROC. Call senators Schumer and Gillibrand: reject Trump's unfit cabinet nominees AND use every tactic to delay proceedings while Musk and Trump are criming. Call Rep. Joe Morelle to demand that he reject budget talks until the criming stops. Thank them all for working in many directions!

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social Question….What is the point of an oath of office? All members of Congress take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution….not a single republican is doing so. Is there legal recourse for the blatant disregard of the oath??

Can anyone name a single republican in the House or Senate who is actually honoring their oath to defend the Constitution? Anyone? Anyone at all?

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

#SenatorGillibrand NO Democrat should be cooperating with any part of Trump’s agenda. YET you were among the Senate Dems who voted to confirm his loyalist Doug Collins as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This is not resistance, it's complicity.
