about this my first reaction was that the Ds never read the legislation that they were committing Americans to. Was that because the legislation regarding the shutdown was already agreed to meaning that the Ds caved before Sunday night?

on September 30, 2026.

Those are two Democratic bills that Democrats have been trying to get to the Senate floor for a vote since June. Last night, those two Democratic bills passed the Senate. This week they will pass the House, and Trump will be forced to sign them into law.

And when the CR expires again in January, Johnson and Trump will no longer have the threat of hungry kids and abandoned veterans to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

is as insidious or more so than their having capitulated.

We shall see.

To see how the House deals with this.

like it means they might debate it. Bet it stays in.

Important

That means a court trial. That means discovery. That means if they flew on the Lolita Express, people will find out.

It's about their role in enabling the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol, not the Epstein case.

But thanks for bringing that up Turbineguy!

WHERE'S THE EPSTEIN FILE JOHNSON???

been wasted, but now they. saved. it.

-- SNAP benefits to 42 million Americans were increased in the Sen. bill that now goes to the House, which had to throw its own failed House bill out,
-- 4,000 federal workers got their jobs back with back pay, and blocks new mass layoffs until the end of January.

-- stopgap funding for much of the government until January 30, 2026,
-- full-year appropriations for certain programs & agencies such as the USDA and Military Construction-Veterans Affairs, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), through the end of fiscal year 2026

-- states be reimbursed for any federal expenses they paid during the shutdown. (That includes states that paid for SNAP benefits during the shutdown.)
-- Dems got 271 Repubs to "cave" on the cancellations of holiday flights

-- Dems forced Republicans to now have to return to work and Johnson will have to swear in the new Arizona Representative.

Those rethug Senators will also have to pay all legal fees for their own lawsuits.

Try doing your homework before popping off with anti-Democrats corporate media hype.

Wouldn't they already have that ability? And regardless, being able to sue, is not remotely close to winning a judgment. The likelihood of any of those people ever winning a single penny in a lawsuit against the Government is damn near zero.

All they do is sue people. It's time to end this madness and end their egregious abuses of the courts. Enough.

and he gets 25% off the top.
