A government shutdown could happen on March 14 if the House and Senate can’t agree on a bill. After the House passed a bill with basically only Republican votes, Senate Democrats are facing a difficult set of choices, with no good options. #politics #Republicans #Democrats #Shutdown

If you're in any way sympathetic towards Nazis, you're a Nazi sympathizer.
The disappearing of #MahmoudKhalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that all should recognize.

To understand current events it's useful to be able to read primary sources: what the people directly involved are saying.

Dear Free World (not you, #USA):
Have contingencies, wait for 4 years (2 if #Democrats retake #Congress)
If the USA elects #MAGA again, give up on us entirely
My apologies as an #American
Millions of us are in cringe humiliation now
#India, #EU, #China, remaining world powers:
Use the vacuum left by the immense implosion wisely

Politicians commonly claim that the #USA has been a "beacon of #democracy" for the past 250 years, at home & abroad.
The #US intervened in foreign #elections at least 128 times between 1946 & 2014, to sway outcomes in its own interests, usually to prevent #leftwing parties from coming to power.

#Buttigieg really is the only young #Progressive with a backbone, plenty of smarts, and knows how to talk to #Republicans, that I can see exciting #Democrats to rally behind for 2028.
#Newsome sank his chances when he did a podcast with #racist RW hate-monger Charley Kirk and agreed with him on banning #trans athletes from competing in sports.
This fire via Connecticut Rep John Larson is exactly what the Democrats need and have been asking for.
More of this, from everyone. Hot damn! Thank you, sir.
No one is surprised by this decision, right? Pete Buttigieg wants to be president. He'd be a good one, too, although I'd prefer it if he were farther to the left. But I'll take him. He's one of the best speakers the Democrats currently have. #Politics #Democracy #Democrats #PeteButtigieg #Michigan #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/us/politics/buttigieg-michigan-senate-2028-president.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3k4.8Tkl.eDRlcKYmrGkw&smid=url-share

It hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump
If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least

Thank you, Rep #Larson (very reminiscent of Ted Kennedy's "When does the greed stop?" speech.)

@drahardja Very efficient indeed! Very business jeanious! It’s a bummer that the @NCSenateDems and other groups don’t throw a bit of their resources behind quickly putting together a running study, updated daily like the GOP used to show the national debt clock, on how much these mistakes cost us while very little is being saved and blast that out on social media, podcasts, tv, and newspapers. No lying or embellishing just the facts.
Business leaders know that employee turnover, production stops (downtime), waste due to confusion/inefficiency/unnecessary bureaucracy, and opportunity cost are detrimental to any business, but the #Democrats need to show the voters what that cost really is to them and not let people continue thinking they have some genius (“he is a jerk, but he is effective”) in charge. No. “He is a jerk,” not effective, just a jerk.
#Democrats Demand Answers on DOGE's Use of #AI
