agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

What's "small" here is John Fetterman, a person so weak of mind and devoid of principles, so used to the lazy grift he switched to after winning office, that he won't even criticize corruption so brazen it has no parallel in American history, the President literally paying himself a fortune.
Fetterman describes Trump trying to steal $230 million from taxpayers as "small ball, and I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things."

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis
So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis
In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.
And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.
Did I get that right?

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.
DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!
Not only is he going out of his way to strengthen the European far right, that claim about the Berlin Wall is beyond absurd.
This is a broad strategic alignment away from the liberal democracies toward the global right.

The U.S. Army is planning a massive parade in Washington for its 250th anniversary conveniently on Trump’s 79th birthday. It will feature 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft, 6,600 troops, fireworks, and a full day of festivities. All on the taxpayers’ dime, of course.
