Democrats need to stop infighting 'as quickly as we can': Sen. Whitehouse
1h

Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., said Sunday that Republicans forced Democratic lawmakers to choose between supporting a continuing resolution or a government shutdown, which would have allowed them to further slash the federal government.

Whitehouse told ABC News' "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz that in past shutdowns, the executive branch has advocated for the government to reopen, but President Donald Trump's administration would have taken advantage of one.
 
“With these MAGA extremists in charge, they don't necessarily want to come out of shutdown, and they have tools in shutdown contingencies and nonessentialness determinations and riffing and things like that that they can use to destroy the government, just like doggy DOGE is doing, except with a veneer of legitimacy, with the authority of shutdown powers,” Whitehouse said in an exclusive interview.

It is more likely to tell an orca to stop hunting seals and succeed than democrats work together.  Since they no longer see the general welfare of America (the Constitution) as their goal, they have become rudderless and aimless.  More like hyenas than domestic dogs.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Sorry, but the farthest woke Left wants to overthrow literally everything to create their alternative reality society, and they won't back down till they have total power by any means necssary.
The Republic is lost.

This is the first time in many years that I can remember in-fighting amongst the DEMS.  That is a really good thing.

The GOP is starting to come together, more so than I've ever known in a long time.  I hope that continues.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
