Oh, I’ve called! My Dem senators are well aware of what I think they should do with that funding bill! Republicans in congress are heartless puppets! Their willingness to hurt their own constituents while lying to their faces, is beyond disgusting! If they’re scared of tRump, wait until their constituents lose their Medicaid! 😖

Sounds like some dems are voting too like Fetterman? And I'm hearing MN Klobuchar may be too

They should stand back and let the Republicans fail spectacularly.

I actually need a few heros now. So for me, I'd like to see the dems step up vrs just letting Republicans crash. This is our opportunity to show a better vision!

They are stepping up but do not hold the balance of power. This CR will NOT bring any kind of better vision.

My point about vision…is dems have to share a better vision with us verses just that Republicans are ruining our country. What does a country under Democratic leadership look like

Stef, you just had one. Have you looked into the accomplishments of the Biden administration? They may not have been perfect (they should have moved much more swiftly and effectively on the border and immigration issues) but they were darned good. And I think you can also connect the dots here without it being spelled out explicitly: Democrats did not bully and threaten their trading partners. Democrats did not ally with Russia and set up Ukraine for total invasion. Democrats did not attempt suppress votes. Democrats respected the powers appropriated to Congress. Democrats did not tie federal funds to how any particular state voted...no discrimination against Red states. Democrats did not feel the need to ignore the Constitution, shut down the Department of Education, limit women's health care, ban books or make fringe issues like trans athletes major concerns. And they were not spouting lies at every chance. So there are a few things.

They are everywhere speaking out. But the msm is not covering them at all, they are so afraid of Trump or so in his pocket. Remember, they do not hold Congress, so there is only so much they can do. It is REPUBLICANS in Congress who are looking the other way as Donald trashes the Constitution, trade, defense, education, health care, parks, the environment, you name it. They are complicit in their cowardly silence.

I don't watch msn and we will have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying they can do much through legislation but they need to be leading the charge. They need to follow Bernie's lead! They can be doing much more

Well we have to agree to disagree then Stef. You have not defined the "much more"....I am hard pressed myself to think of what else they could be doing.

Grown men & kwomen that were voted by their own party scared of DJT/ MUSK those two didn’t vote them into Congress. Perhaps they should have more faith in their voters not MUSK who has nothing but $ WHICH CANT Buy YOUR SEAT UNLESS YOUR NOT HONEST WITH YOUR VOTERS.

MY GOD WHAT HAPPEN TO BEING HONEST.

IT PISSES ME OFF WHEN I KNOW BIDEN LEFT OFFICE HE LEFT A GREAT ECONOMY YES EGGS WERE HIGH BUT CHICKEN WERE SICK HAD TO BE KILLED.

BEST EMPLOYMENT EVER. ALL PEOPLE HAD TO DO WAS LOOK AT 401k

Jobs were everywhere

Also I believe that some of high cost in grocery stores were from Equity Firms that bought 100s of Grocery Stores raised prices then 1hr right before election sold these Grocery stores to a Big Company out of Canada several other Equity firms. I really found it all odd when I found out a local Large Family Owned Grocery Stores were bought out by Equity Firms connected to Peter Theil. They added few improvements & 1 1/2 yr later right after election they sold them all what was interesting they raised the Groceries in those stores 26% I only know this because I was wondering what the difference would be. I know it’s an odd thing to do but it’s seem Equity Firms enjoy raising Grocery prices. Theil had just married another Billionaire who owned equity firm but both sold them off before Dec. Now Canada owns Lucky, Save Mart, Albertsons, Food for Less it’s all so damn odd.

I never could figure out why Peter Theil Push Masters in AZ to win his race When he lost he found someone else to move along.

Peter Theil helped one person get a job after he got out Military JD Vance but Vance Couldn’t keep a job so Theil got him another Vance did work so well didnt like to work so guess what Theil did helped Vance with loan to open his own Equity Firm lol can’t make this up it went under within 2yrs Theil back Vance’s Sen Race won but why did Theil want someone in Congress? He d

paid 50m to DJT to get meet with Trump for VP. Why Peter Theil, Zuckerberg Bezo Google all have 1 Thing in common first trump term he wanted investigation into all these companies including Twitter why to big? Not sure but IT explains a whole a lot of things if you ask me Facebook, Google Amazon are big either put in place Campaign reform bill where these creeps can’t spend $277 mil Buying WH seat or break these corporations up when is going to stop they will buy WH every race not right MUSK had 4 investigations into his companies now? was it worth $277m to him most likely sad I can’t buy WH

This just my opinion I did do some digging as well as Rachel Maddow had research a bit about Vance when he couldn’t hold jobs that’s where I got that info

The Grocery store I did the digging. I feel like if Americans don’t fight hard and loud we will lose our Country to a despicable dictator Trump we must be prepared to protest LOUD AND HARD WITH MILLIONS BECAUSE WE CAN BEAT TRUMP HES AS WEAK AS EVER AT CONFRONTATIONAL HE IS ONLY STRONG IN HIS ON HEAD. IF REPUBLICANS CHOSE HIM OVER CONSTITUTION & CONSTITUTES THEY WILL LOSE ever time

STAY STONG AND FOCUS ON DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTION AND AMERICANS AND OUR ALLIES IN SPIRIT WE KNOW THEIR WITH US.

WE SHOULD HAVE A PROTEST WALK OUT FROM ALL BIG CORPORATIONS SAME TIME SAME DAY!!
