Democrats Not Ready To Cave As Government Shutdown Drags On The funding impasse on Capitol Hill has contributed to flight delays, interrupted food benefits for millions, and things are getting worse.

"Momentum in the Senate had been trending toward a bipartisan deal to reopen the govt until Tues elections, when Dems swept just about every office up for grabs."

I told y'all they were gonna cave on a sketch floor vote before thousands of y'all called your Dem senators and we won the elections.

As another option: I highly recommend Ricola Herb Tea (it’s the best throat coat tea I have ever used).

My recommendation: Your boundaries set ahead of time, clear terms laid out, and he needs to engage you in good faith.

Anything that doesn’t remotely resemble this model of engagement would likely lead to a bad experience.

The core issue with hyper-reactive culture online and discourse related to these topics is that the deeper you go, the more personal and lizard-brain activating it gets.

He wasn’t going to change his take because it was only personal and ranty at that point. Disengagement, at that point, was 👍

I believe the issue here now is these are his personal feelings, and he is only acting-out on them rather than reflecting whatsoever.

capacity and recruit pool both matter a lot

We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army.

That is incorrect.

It has provided him with the funds to TRY.

A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires.

Not easy!

“Congress” didn’t pass this murder budget.

Republicans did it.

Republicans did it without a single Democratic vote in the House, without a single Democratic vote in the Senate.

Be precise and give, uh, credit where credit is due

Genuine thanks to Hakeem Jeffries for taking 9 hours to deprive these evil people of the chance to pass their wretched bill in the middle of the night. Instead they had to do it with the whole world watching. We will continue to watch, and make sure they lose all power as soon as humanly possible.

It can be difficult to not give in to despair, but revolutions aren't built on "we're fucked."

Just block the doomers, don't engage.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local.

It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe.

Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

We are all in this together—the fight of our lives—and we will work together for safe passage through this onslaught against the Constitution and the rule of law.

Folks saying we're cooked and there won't be elections/democracy is over: what do you think the folks sitting in ICE detention think of your doomerism? Do we give up fighting for human rights just bc the fascists don't give up as easily as you want to? It's hard work and worthy work. Dont quit.

1. Donald is embarrassed by shoddy military birthday parade.

2. Donald's bill in Congress is wildly unpopular.

3. Donald's ICE kidnappings are wildly unpopular.

4. To distract, Donald bombs Iran.

5. This is wildly unpopular too.

6. So Donald declares ceasefire.

7. Iran/Israel ignore Donald.

Yesterday, Senate Republicans tried to add a provision to Trump's budget that would have removed federal judges’ authority to enforce rulings against the Trump administration.

Senate Democrats blocked them.

GOP Provision That Makes Trump A King Breaks Senate Rules, Says Parliamentarian Language tucked into Republicans' tax bill that makes it too expensive for anyone to sue the Trump administration is likely on its way out.

NEW: The alarming provision in the GOP tax bill that makes it nearly impossible to sue the Trump admin for breaking laws -- essentially allowing Trump to operate as a king -- is likely getting axed after the Senate parliamentarian ruled it breaks Senate rules. www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-ta...

I swear, it's like yall never had to face struggle or adversity before. The concepts of endurance, longsuffering are entirely foreign to you. Oh, wait...

Get your shit together. The women's suffrage movement took 80 yrs. Decades longer for other rights. You're whining after 5 mo. Go regulate.

Doomers, shut your pie holes, get offline, go talk to your therapist. You weak-ass dudes who fold like a chair just months into this: must be nice to be so sheltered from the horrors of this regime you can simply give up the fight when you get 1 piece of bad news.

Trump has overplayed his hand and he's doubling down by escalating his vicious deportation and militarization agenda across the country.

Fight back, Dems! It works! Trump loses on this! (And it's also the right thing to do, you know, morally, if that happens to factor into your politics at all).

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Kings went out of style in the United States of America in 1776.

The people will peacefully make sure that never changes.

This is the slap back to Stephen Miller’s “arrest everyone” madness. And an admission that Trump is under pressure from multiple industries that rely on migrant workers.

This is huge and important. Keep amplifying the harm done by the Trump/Miller zealous, cruel overreach. Don’t bury this.

Hit the streets tomorrow.
Be nonviolent.
Be joyfully defiant.
Be defiantly joyful.
Ridicule him.
Condemn fascism.
Oppose I.C.E.
Affirm diversity.
Embody America.
Love your neighbor.
Refuse to be intimidated.
Be safe.
Be loud.
Be encouraged.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what these so-called adults are doing.

As I’m chewing on this subject, the other problem I have with this form of capitulation that resonates deeply with me is that the reasoning, the message, behind it is just blatantly untrue. It’s a lie, and they swallow this pill so readily and easily.

They tell on themselves without even trying.

Now is a good time to recall the words of Mr. Rogers: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

Please shut down doomer talk. Turn away from Trump propaganda meant to demoralize you. Look for the helpers, the freedom-loving communities resisting. We are everywhere.

I am really, really over it with the Doomerism of white men w/ big accts. We don't have the luxury of indulging apocalyptic fantasies. If you're ceding the future to the fascists and saying all hope is lost: get offline, go talk to your therapist.

Get your head in the game and rally The People.

It makes me sick to my stomach. These accounts portray themselves as leaders only to capitulate to the very source code they claim to be advocating against.

Every. Single. Time.

Your predictions on these types of accounts and the mentality of the cis, white, het man continue to be validated.
