This is Trumps shutdown!

How deep and broad the files must be to go to these lengths to bury them. Cause the shut down, avoid swearing in the vote that will release the files (or expose their destruction), start killing citizens. Absolute corruption perpetrated by the one percent.

Yeah, remember how Elon was yammering on about starting a Mars colony with his own laws a few years ago? I wonder where he got that fantasy from.

Be careful, Schumer might write a more strongly worded letter now.

No one should abide an unconstitutional, so-called supreme court, either. They deserve immediate dismantling. Criminal Court. Criminal "gop".

It has been their ace in the hole threat for years ALL BETS OFF

It's okay if the government is dismantling a century of government institutions, weaponising the legal system, locking up opponents, creating their own domestic gestapo, and filling streets with troops, just so long as poor people don't lose a discount on their healthcare plans.

I mean lol Schumer. They'll cave.

"Should" So, what are you going to do about it?

Agreed.

SHUT TRUMP DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

Schumer is absolutely spineless.

Absofuckinglutely ‼️‼️

100%!!!! Nuke the filibuster so the Republicans OWN this nightmare. So they own it for the rest of their lives.

And democrats shouldn’t fund the government even if Republicans take government workers as hostages.

If the @housedemocrats.bsky.social give in on shutting down the govt we are over. Kiss the United States goodbye. So @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what’s the play?? You got it in you or are you going to write another letter?? Time to save America and the world.

Armored vehicles in Portland, works for me.

Isn't the current government actively trying to shut down itself anyway?

100% agree!

EXACTLY LET THEM SHUT IT DOWN ,THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE

The Rs won’t, because Trump is telling them to shut it down. A shutdown seems to be what the Project 2025 people want, which may be enough reason to avoid it.

This whole situation is coming to a head fast. Trump knows he cannot afford for the Epstein files to come out and be removed from office. He will do whatever he can to create a crisis and take control of the U.S. military. That meeting of top admirals and generals next week is worrisome.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW!

Agreed. Shut it down.

Let the red states go completely

We can't do this because then the Republicans will do it in our position. Newsflash they will do it anyway.

100% correct! But I bet they will anyway. 😡

“When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.” They cited comments from Russell Vought, Trump’s head of the Office of Management and Budget

The message must be clear and direct There is no guarantee trump will execute the budget as written So even if the cuts are ended he may not care and just do what he wants SCOTUS has already given him the power

🔥

If Democrats want to "repair" anything in a future government, the Filibuster needs to be axed anyway. Might as well let Republicans do it and blame it on them, returning the favor for 2013/14 when McConnell forced Reid to do it on judges

I agree wholeheartedly. Shut down the government for a good long time. It's time that the gop started acting to rein in Trump. They represent alot of people. This Trump bullshit needs end. Armed forces in our cities? Tariffs that are starting have real effect. SHUT IT DOWN.

We need to primary every Democrat in a safe space who doesn't vote against every damn thing the Republicans offer, maybe even ones in with viable Republican candidates cuz s*** is changing now. There are better candidates and they are willing to assume power for the people.

💯

It's not exactly rocket science You're either pro-fascist or anti-fascist

OG Dems WILL eventually vote with the Nazis for cloture. You heard it here, first. They've refused to force the GOP to jettison the legislative filibuster, entirely, even though they know they don't have the stones to ever use it while in the minority.

Absolutely correct.

This ⬆️ Also, #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

AGREE COMPLETELY - SHUT DOWN AND DO NOT FUND THE GOV'T DEMOCRATS UNTIL CORRECTIVE MEASURES ARE VOTED AND PASSED. LETS SEE IF OUR OLD ASS DEMS IN POWER THAT SHOULD BE IN OLD FOLKS HOMES, HAVE THE ENERGY AND STRENGTH TO DO WHATS RIGHT AND REP THEIR CONSTITUENTS!!!

Exactly.

Right!!!

It's incredible how these war criminals walk the streets freely. That's what's "incredible"🙄 coming and going as they please. Just like child sex traffickers

Thanks Chuck Schumer.

Pass the test dems.

Fuck them.

watch them though - right over the cliff. We are doomed it seems.

Tell @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov. Sheeeeeeeeit!!!

Epstein 🧐

SHUT IT DOWN!! TO WAKE THE GOP CONGRESS AND SENATE THE F UP AND IMPEACH THIS BATSHIT SOCIOPATH!

They'll fold. They always do.

I can't even believe that I am scared to live in my own country. When will Dem's fight?!!!!!

I have come to the same conclusion. Fight and resist this corrupt movement at every opportunity.

Yes, let the republicans own the budget, tariffs, healthcare premiums, all of it. They can do a rule change like they have been doing, and pass it.

fineartamerica.com/featured/hys...

Hmm, the GOP eliminating the filibuster would be convenient to the Democrats over the longer run.

💯!!!!

Just an idea…what if the Democrats in Congress decided as a group to go to vote on the budget, but instead of voting, they all get up, with their luggage and leave. They don’t vote. And then tell the press that if MAGA won’t negotiate, why stay? Then have local town halls and organize.

One thing shutdown opponents and democrats in general miss is that it’s almost always good politics to pick a fight with Trump. He will make himself the center of attention and is also insane. Just take every fight.

I can't sleep at night. I know what's coming and I'm so scared.

If anyone is wondering what our future will look like, read this gift article from The Atlantic: bsky.app/profile/anne...

To those who say we can stop this right now: How (short of violence)? I just don’t see a way forward that is peaceful unless MAGA believers collectively realize they’ve been duped by the regime. This is why more of us see what is coming and are terrified. It’s unlikely we can stop it.

New rules, of the GOP, by the GOP, for the GOP, to serve President Dump on their knees, not the PEOPLE, you see..

Exactly!!! Repost! Dems get tough! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Do not get tricked by all this gaslighting and threats!

It with leaders like jefferies and Schumer….we’re fucked

I keep saying the same thing. We should not fund our own destruction. All they have to do is eliminate the filibuster. Let them be the ones to do it. We’ll be back.

Dems need to learn how to fight back.

🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔I would think that Chuck Schumer & the rest of Democrats would KNOW by now that the MAJORITY of America know that with Republicans in charge of both the House & the Senate that if there is a shutdown, it is on THEM. They should hold out for healthcare assurances & other demands- Don’t BEND!

YES! 💯 this!

I agree. Don't fund any aspect of the government, including the military. Let the republicans know that you are serious.

"none of this is normal" is such an absolute understatement... The sun is hot. Space is vast. Trump is insane...

Why pass any appropriation bill if the Admin spends what they want on whatever they want and ignores what Congress actually funded? It’s absurd. I want to know who would fund a bailout of Argentina, who supports cutting aid off for starving children or eliminate cancer research. Hold out Dems.

I concur

<Sigh> I think shumer and the other dems will cave... But the idea of medical cuts and mass layoffs comes from the CONVICTED FELON occupying the "white house"...he doesn't have to order this, but he did, and he and he alone is playing with the lives of men, women, and children...

My trust is in God who does not disappoint us, rather than in mortals who do.

My thoughts exactly. What the hell are we even talking about here? Either Democrats insist on stopping AAAALLL of this before supplying any votes or let Republicans own it all by nuking the filibuster. Long past time for it to go away anyway. You don’t help fund a Nazi government if you have votes.

They will.

Let shit it down!!!! Pain….we’ve been in pain for last 9 months. Schumer and Jeffries must step down!

Quite right… I absolutely agree…💯

Democrats will cave by throwing trans under the bus as they have done numerous times in the past

The filibuster only redounds to the benefit of republicans. Dems need to dare them to nuke it. They will not always have a Senate majority and then we can use it to get some shit done.

For sure. Time to think differently and start discussions on what we want to build back. Pete said this yesterday and it really stuck with me. (Sorry have to link the hill site bc they didn’t post the video on here)…. x.com/capaction/st...

Amen!

Kompromat is one of the key secrets to Trump’s power.

I think it's past time for states to be calculating what they WON'T get from the Fed in FY26 and tell employers to stop withholding that amount. it should go into escrow to pay all the tabs like emergency management that the states will have to pick up. @kylegriffin1.bsky.social

The filibuster should have been nuked long ago. And if it isn’t nuked now D’s should nuke it when they retake the Senate

Agree. Shut it down.

If the government shuts down, the federal courts should issue TROs the day before in preparation.

Get food. A General Strike is in order.

@shaheen.senate.gov 👆🏽

And yet Dems are out there trying to make everyone believe this is about healthcare costs…

Yep. Stop watching it and their ad revenue will dry up and they’ll go under.

How the hell has Velshi capitulated? I think you’re wrong on that one.

*Clears throat

I mean it is. There’s a difference between legal authority and just authority. They still have authority whether or not it could (justifiably) be interpreted as illegal

I was going to say "can be canceled by the president at any time" but the Supreme Court has made it clear that this applies only to Donald Trump (and probably other Republican presidents), but not to presidents generally. Biden wasn't allowed to do anything.

I am in California. EVery time I heard someone complain about Dianne bowing to the right wing, I would say I did not want to get rid of her because we would be replacing her with a junior Senator who would not have her committee power. I no longer feel that way. Schumer snd Jeffries have got to go

In related news, Donald Trump is all over the Epstein Files.

True, i think. Somebody has to fight trump at some point, if it comes to it, even if everything gets burned down. And people won't fall over themsleves to give it all to folks who didn't fight when it's over.

Schumer has politely asked Trump for a meeting if he can squeeze it in between golfing & grifting But just doesn’t have time & Hakeem is selling books & worried he might upset Netanyahu Not the leaders for the Moment

Fetterman will And I'm watching @schumer.senate.gov

THE TIME IS HERE. it seems like we always say that, BUT it is FINALLY HERE.

When will America’s headline come????

I have a bad feeling the gop wants a shutdown. Trump can fund his things via EO. But guess which parts of the gov will be shut down... social programs that are much more a part of the dem platform. And I think dems might get mad at everyone if it goes on long.
