I believe all of this. Anyone, or institution, not anti-Trump will eventually become useful to him. Pick a side.

It’s quite possible that the DC provision was placed in the bill believing DC might continue to spend its own money because $1bn is a lot to cut. This would trigger a legal basis to end Home Rule.

The removal of the BLM plaza today is a perfect metaphor to what is happening. Things will only get worse.

By voting for the CR won’t you be undercutting every legal case against DOGE firings and cuts? Voting yes is the worse choice. Your instincts are wrong here.

The GOP is now the party of Defund the Police. And of course they are, it was MPD that stopped the J6 insurrection. To vote for this CR is to cripple DC.

Dem leadership is acting like we aren’t already at a DEFCON 1. At this point a default on the debt is our best hope of getting out of this mess without a future civil war. JFC.

When Schumer and his ilk and the GOP vote for this crippling bill let’s prioritize DC cuts to MPD and Fire EMS to the Capitol Hill houses in which they live. F this shit. Divided Democrats must decide: Side with Trump or shut down government www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Guests on CNBC and people I know personally say and believe the economy would be worse if Harris had won. Dems lost the narrative. The toilet has already been flushed and our democracy is the dookie.

This CR as written will cripple DC. Sending funding back to 2024 levels is INSANE. It won’t even save the federal budget one dime. This is DC tax dollars.

The CR as written is a “defund the police” policy for DC. Let’s start with that. thehill.com/business/bud...

We are demanding that the Senate pass a version of the continuing resolution that does not remove DC’s right to spend OUR money as we see fit. @dclinenews.bsky.social mailchi.mp/d3c8cdacd42f...

The GOP is now the party of defund the police. Tens of millions cut from MPD if this passes.

Sometimes I wish the DC government would set up a separate fund for all DC residents to direct deposit their federal tax withholding/income tax into. Let the feds sue us and then we can have a taxation without representation constitutional fight. At a minimum it would gum things up for them.

One of the JVL’s best Triads. Free today but you should subscribe. “The people who want to pull back America’s leadership in the world under the pretense of being for “America First” are making us weaker, poorer, and less secure. They are giving away our long-term strategic advantages.”

How Trump and Musk set off the shutdown crisis — but got little in return This article is missing the China investment provision that was removed from the bill that the Prospect is reporting. If true, Musk got everything he wanted. More digging please @mariannasotomayor.bsky.social
