"President Trump suggested that we endorse ethnic cleansing. That is a profound prohibition and something that Americans in the World War II generation fought against."
After what happened with Zelinsky today in the White House, I want6to hear Sern. Reed's take on that, and I want to see Republican senators and congreesscritters get a spine and stand up to king orange headed monster. Remember, Trump really does not care if milions die from his criminality.
I think Sen Reed gave good answers. I'll add another concern (on an issue I follow) that we've been told priority in Federal transportation funding will go to places with high birth and marriage rates, likely designed not just to appeal to MAGA voters who see women only as breeders but to shift funds away from Democratic states such as RI
Everything Senator Reed said was all well and good. However, almost nothing he said is being aimed at solving this problem. It seems to me that democrats need to do whatever they can to speak to republicans and lay out for them the consequences of their actions. And this needs to be hammered home again and again to them. They need to be made aware that what they are doing is leading this country further and further away from a democratic society and ripping up our constitution. If Trump continues in the vein he is going and just disobey court rulings, then what? With all of the firings in all of the agencies how are we going to survive as a country? Parks are closing. The IRS is now understaffed. The EPA is being gutted, so what will happen to our air, water and forests? Climate progress is grinding to a holt. RFK Jr. has cancelled the meeting of scientists who figure out the next flu vaccine. What is being done about all of this? Jobs are at stake. Our health is at stake. Our lives are at stake.
I think Sen Reeds comments are excellent, but I also think they were prepared before tRump betrayed the USA in front of the whole world on Friday. He needs to hold another press conference asap. Especially so now that Musk announces that the US should leave both NATO _and_ the UN. Unbelievably dangerous notion. That really would risk WW3.
Trump loves to spend OPM (Other Peoples Money). He created more debt than Obama (8 yrs) and Biden (4 yrs). He doesn't want a debt ceiling at all but Congress will have to adjust it. Why? To pay for the tax cuts that will benefit the 1%. I know, I know - it doesn't make sense. It's robbing Peter to pay Paul.
As Sen. Reed said, he's spent $10.7 million for his jaunts. He has plans to add a ballroom to the White House and pave over a portion of the Rose Garden. He's no Fred Astaire and Melania won't dance with him so what's the purpose? None. It's OPM.
He has Musk firing people. Neither he nor Musk know what the job functions are. At some point, our system won't work and most of them will be rehired. I hope that they get retro pay. They deserve it.
Until we win in 2 years, we are stuck with these people. How many times have the courts told him to release the money and reopen departments? He's broken just about every Amendment. When is he getting impeached? It has to be done soon while the fire is still hot. He beat the rap twice. If it's done now, there will be less that needs to be investigated and it can move along faster. He can take Vance with him. Revoke Musk's citizenship. He doesn't deserve it. He takes but never gives back.
