@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

(MIND YOU my alma mater isn't exactly better, UChicago has been backhanding student protestors since the 60s at least)

Senate Democrats caved on the bill to keep the government open. Why? I have 3 reasons: 1) He didn’t have the votes. 2) They didn’t want this fight. 3) If it shuts down, does it start up again? Full vid is here: chriscillizza.substack.com/p/why-did-de...

I wouldn’t mind this becoming a habit. (More impressive with the sound on.)

This is terrific news for tens of thousands of federal employees who were unjustly fired by the Administration. And just this week, I introduced the Protect Our Probationary Employees Act so that these workers who are rehired don’t have to restart the clock on their probationary period.

Tuapse oil refinery as of this morning.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig ripped Trump's "full-frontal assault on the Constitution, the rule of law, our system of justice and the entire legal profession."

@aoc.bsky.social explains why she deeply disagrees with @schumer.senate.gov on voting for cloture to allow the MAGA Senators to pass the extreme CR with a simple majority vote. She says @senatedemocrats.bsky.social must not give away any leverage to codify the damage Trump/Musk are inflicting.

My two cents: we don’t abandon the Democratic Party. We remake it. It’s a good party. It just has bad leadership.

Update: I did indeed sleep through the lunar eclipse, but here is a nice shot of the moon setting this morning.

Trump repeals our most significant environmental regulations: incl limits on pollution from tailpipes & smokestacks, to protection for wetlands, regulation of greenhouse gases that are heating the planet. No reference to protecting the environment or public health www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/c...

Trump also planning a rebrand to the National Endowment for Inhumanities www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/a...

I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.
