I don’t expect anything good from Republicans but I expect Democrats to fight fascism & autocracy at all times. I’m so disappointed in some of our Democratic elected officials that have no fight, no courage & no strength. Some have abdicated their responsibilities & are failing to meet the moment.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I will not support what congressional Republicans are calling a “Continuing Resolution” because it’s not. It is a surrendering of the powers of Congress to the president and Elon Musk.
