You're a coward and you need to step down

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

I don't understand how people still want to hear out these lunatics. We've heard them over and over again. They're not saying anything new and what they are saying is getting crazier.

Yep

Are you nuts? First off, this will not do what you say it will and will give this administration far-reaching new powers. Second, the priority right now should be a functioning government and this is a huge distraction and waste of political capital.

Wow! Scary af (in a good way)

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you.

@jamellebouie.net you look sharp af here

Oof

This has to be the stupidest argument I've seen, and it's got some contenders. What election were you watching?

There are a lot of rumors swirling that faculty searches in CS are being cancelled. Nothing public though.

I know that PhD admissions are proceeding more cautiously than in prior years.

I saw Fritz the Cat at IFC recently, and while it was beautiful and weird and interesting, it also made me feel deeply uncomfortable. Not sure I can get over it, which is a shame.

Beautiful, thank you

Would you recommend some?

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

I’m sorry ❤️

I’m overgeneralizing of course

30s are the best decade (I'm in my 40s now so don't have that much experience).

Your 20s actually sucked. Now you maybe have a little more money, more security, more sense of who you are. You're less likely to waste time and energy on things and people that aren't worth it.

You've got to be kidding me! Who is going to fight for our government?

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

This is amazing

You need to fight then! Why are you not fighting?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Hard agree. I also think that many people don't even consider weight lifting and just jump into random cardio when they start working out (which tbf does also make me better).

Those flower keys are so cool! Very jealous!

I just have off-the-shelf mechanical keyboards. How did you make it?

Dems can:

-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Democrats must fight back! No unanimous consent, no cloture, no business passes under a lawless government!

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

This is “our greatest hour” time, not Useless Grandpa Fumbles to Placate the Nazis in the Interest of his Investments time.

Democrats promised to protect America from Trump. How will Democrats in the senate achieve that with bipartisanship?
