      It’s working. Can’t call a vote on the tariffs:

      Trump’s flying solo.

      I remember when “pen and phone” was offensive.

        Darn, would've been nice to document which representatives indeed were without a spine as their constituents and local businesses are crushed.

          Maybe they can force an amendment on some other bill to get these spineless pussies on record.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            @xenon @89th @jon-nyc

            If the senators do not pass the spending bill, what happens to the original one from the representatives? Do that have to draft a new one? (That may or may not include the tariff language?)

              I think it goes back to committee for revision?

                I think others understand these sort of procedural things way better than me.

                Then again Congress is explicitly just giving up their power to the executive, so who knows.

                  Chuck Schumer now says he will vote to keep the government funded precisely because he fears a government shutdown will cede even more power to Trump.

                    This is really wild. Republicans in 2025 stand for isolationism, autarky, unions and large deficits. Imagine floating that at the end of the Obama years.

                    They have a consistent stance on gender though, I guess.

                      Chuck got his ass handed to him. Gillebrand could literally be heard screaming down the hallway, as the Dems were in their closed door meeting, wanting to know what the hell they were doing.

                            To the American people. There is no effective opposition from dems. There is no leadership from GOP

                                  From Matthew 6

                                  25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

                                  34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

                                  “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
