Media once again blaming Democrats for the Republicans’ attacks on Americans

Democrats don’t have the votes, lmfao.

Filibuster is getting gutted, it only needs simple majority to remove.

Also, the VP as President of the Senate can just ignore the parliamentarian, so they wont even need a vote to abolish the filibuster.

Democrats play by the rules, republicans don’t. They don’t need to remove filibuster. Senate rules are enforced by the senate parliamentarian, whom the VP as President of the Senate can overrule.

The federal government is only one locus of power; they have the majority in many State legislatures.

Republicans aren’t going to cut trans healthcare. They are going to cut everyone’s healthcare

But by framing it as attacking trans health care they will gain the support of the R masses. Gotta say I’m getting bored of watching leopards eating faces.

They don’t even need to label it as trans healthcare…just “illegals are taking your healthcare, so we’re going to stop them”

There are no votes. There’s a trifecta.

It means birth control, ACA, social security, Medicare, HIPAA, overtime, no fault divorce, federal labor laws, the department of education (and it’s mandates regarding special needs kids, safety checks on Wall Street, and lots of other things could be gone by next Christmas.

Wow. Embrace reality. It’s a weird headline that doesn’t track with reality. Like Roe as soon as the document was made public, it’s already gone it’s just not official yet.

What’s surreal is watching Korea defeat their dipshit dictators martial law and knowing none of that will happen here.

No, I just realized I couldn’t type everything. There’s a lot of things listed out in project 2025.

As is, I expect where President Musk and the Heritage Foundation meet most is in forceful increase of fertility rates. So that will likely be where they start. As a non breeder odds are you’ll be overlooked for a short while. But only a short while.

Not that it really matters, but you shouldn’t assume I’m gay just because I support marriage equality.

That said, “non breeder” is still accurate lol

I’m actually more annoyed with them for pretending like “the parliamentarian” was a real obstacle to change as opposed to a convenient excuse for inaction.

Maybe if Democrats wanted people to vote for them they should have actually tried to deliver on their promises rather than making up BS excuses for 4 years.
