I really think Schumer has to go….not sure who could replace him….not Durbin please….someone younger and aggressive.


I like Schatz on twitter but does he do anything else?

[hutch]

So much for Schatz. Who can decipher this? I note two democratic senators who have recently announced retirement…Cortez Masto and Hassan aren’t up for reelection until 2028.

The democratic leadership provided 3 votes for cloture. It’s kind of hard for me to understand what is really going on here. Did these 10 take a bullet for more senators? MAGA only needed 7 so why did the leadership go along? Fetterman and Gillibrand seem to have been the instigators…

I’m not sure I totally agree, but the best explanation I have heard

@steventdennis.bsky
Schumer’s calculus is that the real fight and leverage is in the courtroom, where Congress’s prerogatives have been winning and slowing the Trump/Musk move to dismantle agencies. And that a shutdown would effectively moot those cases and let them eviscerate govt faster.

Easier explanation...these people simply do not care!  None of Trump's policies or actions will affect their lives in anyway.

Ok I get that but this about far more than “policies”….its about the unconstitutional manner in which they are going about it…about destroying institutions etc.

One can disagree about government cuts (policy) but one can’t support firing federal workers en masse without justification…to give but one example

I try to share the latest egregious thing the administration has done with my wife and kid, and they start yelling at me for leaving shaving cream in the sink.

[hutch]

This is a safe space for you to share, Space.

[Cock Van Der Palm]

You shouldn't shave your balls in the sink. Have some decency.

Eww. I would not put a razor anywhere near my package. That sounds dangerous and gross.

Oh wow I totally misread that!!! Space, are you guys ok?

[hutch]

My partner is concerned about “how did you become a US citizen???”

If you don’t hear from me guys I am probably in El Salvador and not on vacation…..

[hutch]

It’s an interesting question….can he undo stuff Biden did claiming that Biden never signed it?

as a sit here listening to the new The Vapors album as they are singing "It Just Gets Better" which in terms of what they singing about it's a positive and well I'm using it sarcastically here

NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/nih-grants-mrna-vaccines-trump-administration-hhs-rfk/

we truly a nation being run by quacks, conspiracy theorists, blue tick medical experts and meme posters.

i'm sure the "I Did My Own Research" crowd will be cheering on this move, but personally I was looking for more DNA  re=arrangement and further microchip upgrades

so much winning

Legislation introduced by GOP lawmakers in at least seven states is aimed at banning or limiting mRNA vaccines. In some cases, the measures would hit doctors who give the injections with criminal penalties, fines, and the possible revocation of their licenses.
