It’s Friday Night!
Me:

For me! We are headed out for two weeks!

Me heading into the weekend:

I can taste the long holiday coming up.

That’s insane

In Esau Selling his Birthright, Ter Brugghen tells this intense story through confrontation of heads and play of hands. A+++.

Sam Stein on Twitter: “It's wildly unappreciated how insanely rushed this GOP megabill is. They're making major health care policy changes through private negotiations over two weekend days with no hearings, expert analysis, or public insight.”

Late last night, Republicans on the House Budget Committee voted to advance Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts.

Every Republican needs to hear from their constituents today. Call now if you’re in a GOP district: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Yes I will click on the guy-in-the-kilt-doing-handstands-and-yoga videos *every time* it pops up

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

😩

Asked a friend how it's going and they responded "bad but I'm used to it" devastating

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

Spring is in 38 days!

House Democrats Have Leverage— If They Use It Republicans Can't Pass a Budget Without Democrats: Any funding bill that passes the Senate must clear the 60-vote filibuster, meaning Senate Republicans will be forced to compromise with Democrats. That bill will not be the full MAGA wishlist-it will be a negotiated deal. And here's the problem for House Republicans: as soon as the bill looks even remotely reasonable, hardline MAGA extremists will revolt. The House Freedom Caucus will refuse to vote for anything that doesn't include extreme cuts and right-wing poison pills. That means House Republicans' razor-thin 218-215 majority won't be enough to pass a budget on their own. If just three Republicans defect, the bill dies. Their chaos and dysfunction have already divided them. Democrats must not bail them out. Republicans will need Democratic votes to pass a budget, and that gives Democrats enormous leverage. The GOP Civil War is a Gift-Exploit It: The House GOP is eating itself alive. The far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding draconian cuts, while vulnerable Republicans fear the backlash of a shutdown. Demoerats should let them fight and use it to extract real concessions. The Shutdown Deadline is the GOP's Problem to Solve: Government funding runs out on March 14. If the GOP can't pass a bill, they own the shutdown. Instead of letting Republicans ram through a terrible deal, Democrats should be demanding a budget that stops MAGA looting and protects working families. Trump and His Billionaire Buddies Want to Steal the Budget: Trump and his inner circle, led by Russ Vought, are openly planning to override federal spending decisions, funnel cash to their allies, and slash social programs. If the budget doesn't include safeguards-real, meaningful, and enforceable safeguards— they will rob the country blind.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.
