Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.
What the f*ck, Chuck⁉️
This is what we’re dealing with in our current Democratic leadership…
“It’s a disaster in a few weeks if there was a shutdown, everyone would be complaining…” — @schumer.senate.gov
Chris Hayes makes more sense than Schumer. Watch this.
George Lowe has passed away. Lowe was the voice of Space Ghost in countless projects starting with 1994's Space Ghost Coast To Coast.
He carries these two promos for C2C's fifth season, as a narcissistic host musing on the perils of celebrity.

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.
CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.
MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.
Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers:
“Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.”

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.
Trump got Mexico to send the same 10,000 troops to the border that Biden already got them to commit.
Trump got Canada to agree to the same measures to fight fentanyl that Biden already got them to agree to six weeks ago.
Wow. What a dealmaker!
As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.
In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.
But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.
Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.
Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

WOW! In Trump world, Black History Month is just “illegal DEI.”
Just in: The Defense Department’s intel agency will no longer celebrate MLK Day, Black History Month, or Juneteenth.

A giant, radical memo from House Budget Committee Republicans was recently leaked.
It’s a menu of all the tax breaks they want to give to the wealthy and corporations—and all the stuff they could cut to pay for it.
