8. The time to take a stand was the CR in March

Fri Sep 5, 2025, 12:42 PM

Friday

Democrats could have shut it down in March until they got protections for the safety net, they would have had the country behind them. A slim minority of Senate Democrats gave Krasnov everything he wanted.

What are Democrats going to ask for this time? Last time they asked for nothing. How about shutting down the government until the entire Epstein files are released? We have a majority of Americans in favor of that.
