Playbook: “In every single shutdown we can remember, the party that makes the demands not only pays politically, but never gets what it wants. Never.” “Trump didn’t get a dollar for his wall during the 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019, and he paid a political price for it. Democrats didn’t get protections for Dreamers during the shutdown fight they stoked when Trump was in office, either.” “So what makes Republicans think that once in a shutdown, that Democrats will give them what they want and that the GOP won’t get politically crushed?”

As my colleague Isabela Dias wrote earlier this year: The nation’s undocumented immigrants grow and harvest the food we eat, construct our homes, and care for our young and elderly.

    By The Associated Press A day before a potential government shutdown, the House rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s new plan Thursday to fund operations and suspend the debt ceiling, as Democrats and dozens of Republicans refused to accommodate his sudden demands. Here’s the latest: Trump ally Steven Bannon says Speaker Johnson ‘is not up to the task’ As the speaker twisted Thursday in Washington, his peril was on display at Turning Point USA’s conservative AmericaFest confab, where Trump ally and 2016 campaign architect Steven Bannon stirred thousands with a takedown of the Louisiana Republican. “Clearly, Johnson is not up to the task.

  • Will Elon Musk's President Cosplay DESTROY Our Democracy?
    Crooks and Liars, Friday - 12/20/2024 - 07:20 AM

    I'm so f*king tired of unelected President Elon Musk. I'm tired of him waltzing around Washington like he got one vote.
