good politics are boring; calling my senators tomorrow
I'm calling my senators tomorrow. The House just passed a CR that kicks the budget can down the road until September and it'll be going to the Senate for another vote. They need 7 Dems to pass the bill.
I tried clicking between CNN and AP News and MSNBC trying to get info past the headlines but it was all garbage, so I watched Hakeem Jeffries' press release.
It's only got 5k views, I'm fucking bored, but it's got the info I want. I wish more people would watch stuff like this instead of jumping to feeds of clickbait articles. I think I'm going to start circumventing MSM entirely and just go right to representatives' websites.
I liked Jeffries' response about the Dem CR, how they were doing bipartisan negotiations, and then Trump tanked it. (I wish they had captions, or better yet a full transcript, for the video.)
I'm not surprised Republicans walked the plank because of their fealty to Donald Trump. Republicans in this town no longer work for the American people; they're no longer even pretending. They're prepared to hurt their own constituents.
Here's the press release if anyone wants to give it a listen.
