It's not what GER-bring, it's what GER-brought. He / Him Scuba, D&D, travel, Bay Area sports. My therapist says to try new things so I'm going to shit post, not just shit-reply-guy. Wish me luck.

Maybe we should stop using the word "trifecta". If one Political Party controls the House of Reps, Senate and the Presidency, that is only two out of the three branches of government. Calling it a trifecta gives the wrong impression that party would have full control to implement its agenda.
Do folks genuinely not realize as soon as Democrats pass term limits and-or any ethics bill the Roberts Court will immediately move to neuter those bills? If the Dems get trifecta only way to mitigate the threat of Roberts Ct will be through power - expansion.
My God that's @swordsjew.bsky.social's music

@repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social How come it is always *other* Congresspeople speaking like this? Your consituents do not want you support anything that funds this lawless, corrupt government. Do not settle for anything less than concrete, actionable consequences, or make them shut it all down.
No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects. Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Replying to @rincewind.run
the redistricting is (very) good and the trolling is good and I think it’s useful to have him utilizing his ambition to actually fight back; I actually wrote a whole thread on this the other day but it is also important to remember that this is not a man who should be trusted when the dust settles
Can we agree that Newsom is an ally against Trump or is Newsom so tainted that we shouldn’t support his redistricting effort?

This is a war funding bill, but the enemy isn't Iran or Russia or China, it's you, the American people
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029: - $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion - $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million - $8 billion for hiring/retention - Billions more.
Good for you @repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social . More of this please.
Since we DID just have a vote on impeachment today, let's check in with the representatives who said that what Trump did was impeachable or unconstitutional, shall we? As a reminder, here is the list of people who voted to continue consideration of Rep. Al Green's HRes 537.

@repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social Your constituents expect no less from you. It is time to do your job and represent us.
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
