If they extend the tax credits, Democrats will vote for the CR.

The problem is that the Republicans want the Dems to vote for the CR first instead of amending the CR to include the extension.

The only reason to do it the GOP way, as two separate bills, is to allow them to renege.

2/2

Republicans love to say stupid shit like "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity."

And then they put the exact same bill to a vote 13 times and it fails every time.

Maybe they should try putting forward a different bill, one that will pass.

This is appalling. There has to be a way to hold massive companies accountable for *knowingly* facilitating & profiting from criminal behavior. And yes, I understand the value of Section 230, but here we have a trillion $ company that profits by letting its users get scammed. Has to be a better way.

Johnson won't talk about the Republican health care plan—not because it's secret, but because it doesn't exist.

for those who haven't been following the details of this story, it's primarily about pushing black men out of the military

You may not *need* a political science degree to understand why having billionaires fund the US military is a bad idea, but I *do* have a political science degree and would like to underscore *how* bad of an idea it is.

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

Lots more detail in here about this outrageous arrest. The guy has been in jail for weeks now for posting a quote by President Trump.

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

"The River" became a two-record set, crafted to feel “like life or an E Street Band show,” as Bruce said. Released 45 years ago tomorrow, "The River" still sounds like what Bruce was searching for: a record big enough to hold it all.

No Kings in Washington DC. Amazing. 💙👊

Trump’s Republicans made themselves absolutely ridiculous saying this would be a “Hate America” riot that only the National Guard could control.

No Kings banner

If you're going to No Kings tomorrow, leave the bear spray, weapons, and zip ties at home - this isn't a Republican event.

This is why it’s impossible to negotiate with Republican leadership in Congress. Once you reach an agreement with them and things pass, the Trump admin just flushes that agreement down the toilet and Republicans who made the deal remain silent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

JD Vance brushes off racist texts by adults in Republican group chat as ‘what kids do’ Vice-president downplays messages such as ‘I love Hitler’ in chat by 24 to 35-year-olds to ‘stupid jokes’

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.

Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Trump has a very simple worldview: the Presidency is not a public office, it is his property. He can use it to satisfy his personal or partisan whims, or to enrich himself.

So here, he threatens to reorganize an international competition, cohosted by Mexico and Canada, to settle a vendetta.

Trump administration will set price floors across range of industries to combat China, Bessent says China has driven foreign competitors out of business over the past two decades by using its market dominance to slash prices, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
