You can call me Iron, or Don if you prefer. I can be a bit of a jackass, so I might just offend you. Politics is my passion, although I do love sci-fi in general, and horror (to a degree). I am a Democrat, Liberal & Atheist. #Resist #Rebel #Fight ๐Ÿ“Ž

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The โ€œunwindโ€ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a โ€œdrubbing.โ€ That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!

Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesnโ€™t actually help them. Itโ€™s gross, but it doesnโ€™t really move the needle.

Once the government reopens, precedent has already been set, if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected representative from Arizonaโ€™s 7th District, someone else will. In Powell v. McCormack (1969), the

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us.

We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

The American people need protection from those who seek to exploit the workers for every last penny.

Some decry this view as "socialism."

I call it fair.

An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight.  Theyโ€™ll get a promise of a vote on health care โ€” but nothing more.  Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

We've asked the top AI executives for their private take on the American rival they fear most.

Without pause, they all coughed up the same name: Google.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly whatโ€™s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Tonightโ€™s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.
