Musk got everything he wanted: decimated the investigations into his govt contracts.
And stole all our personal data for Palantir.

During the election, I was told they are fascists.
How do you “work” with fascists?

This late in the process, and they still can’t get it together. Repubs have enough votes. Let them do it. Unbelievable.

I would vote for an opposition party.

For Iowa's junior senator, they can be direct.

In the late 1980s I wrote a Letter to the Editor of the Mpls StarTribune about this very topic.
Another budget passed and it was multiple paragraphs of the politics - who won, who lost - before there was any discussion of what the budget actually did.
Been going on a long time.

They are apparently pregnant with their first.

1988 Honda Prelude had this technology. So it’s not even “new”.

And they still can’t point to a single consequential decision he made that was impacted by this “decline”.
All gossip and palace intrigue.

Probably shouldn’t pass it at all.

So apparently with "more information" it will become clear that it just be a big misunderstanding and not a breathtaking level of corruption.
Phew! That was close.

You are the one who has to make an uproar!!!

The curtain should go up at the performance and the stage is empty.

Just oppose it. Don’t try to “fix”’it. It’s a setup.
We have been down this road before.

How about wait until it happens, verify the info, then publish it as “news”.

Makes me think they want some of the same things as the Republicans, but they can't say that. And would be outraged if someone suggested it.
So, they have to appear to be doing something, without doing anything, e.g., another strongly-worded letter.

And again, to quote Mayor Quimby: "we hope her underlings will read and give her the gist of"

Seems to be outside their ability. So, obvious and yet, they can't seem to do it.

He's not making any "deals".
He's going to publish a Price Sheet of what it will cost to sell their products in the US. That's the "deal" he is making. Not any actual back-and-forth discussions going on to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.

This kind of statement is so milquetoast! You can blame this on Trump right now. No need to wait for "hearings"
Blame Trump and Duffy immediately. They randomly fired all sorts of people and that is why this kind of thing is happening.

Name names. If they are saying it privately, call them out publicly.

And even Obama - Forward, not Backward. Needed to spend time discrediting the whole failed conservative approach to governance.

Dick Cheney's people used to talk about going on "Meet the Press" with the revered Tim Russert, because they could get their message out.
No real push back. No challenging the status quo. No challenging those in power.
I don't have an answer, but it has been going on for a long time.

That’s his point. And how our regulations demand the building of what we have.

Should read, if you haven’t, “The Geography of Nowhere”, by James Howard Kunstler.
Where all that parking meets is, the geography of nowhere.

He’s the “President”. You have to treat him and his people with deference.
Back to Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent”. Deference to power.
He won, so that makes him legitimate, regardless of what he is doing or saying. Can’t question that fact.

What’s the old saying? Oh yea: “if you show up to a protest with a podium, you’re doing it wrong”

They have been doing it forever.
I wrote a Letter to the Editor of the StarTribune in about 1987 complaining about this same issue. They wrote a Federal Budget story where it went on for multiple paragraphs about who was up and who was down, won and lost, before anything about the budget itself.

Because they personally are profiting off the chaos. Besides getting insider info to buy/sell their personal positions.

Yes. Because I was told he was a fascist and a threat to our democracy. But only sometimes and in some instances?
So which is it?
I am a native Minnesotan. I want her to be better. Business as usual is not going to fix this.

This is ridiculous, unhelpful commentary! Unless they are going to actually do something, who cares!

Business as Usual! That is definitely the strategy that will work (this time).

Until you stop confirming his nominees (are there any left?) or withhold UC - something that can actually gum up the works - this is performative.
comment in response to

And again, why are you confirming any of this nominees?
And why give Unanimous Consent to anything?
Use the tools you have.

Just dumb questions that don’t tell is anything. And does not help us have a better understanding of what is happening.
All surface.

Such stupid questions!!
Already know how tariffs work, start from there.
Makes this simple truth of what we already know a constant debate.
We never learn anything new or and doesn’t move the conversation along.
