CultureStormWith their #DebtCeiling shenanigans, Republicans are sending a terribly cynical message to our #Veterans this Memorial Day weekend: "We don't give a damn if you join your fallen brothers and sisters." #DebtCeilingCrisis #VoteBlue
BongolianDana Milbank: Save the world economy or his own job? McCarthy can’t decide.
"'Let me be very clear,' he said. 'From the first day I sat with the president, there’s two criterias I told him,' McCarthy said, raising two fingers. 'We’re not going to raise taxes because we bring in more money than we ever have. And we’re not going to pass a clean debt ceiling. And we’ve got to spend less than we spent this year.'
Let me be very clear, Mr. Speaker. Those are three, er, “criterias.'"

Natalie Davis 🇺🇸🇵🇹🇺🇦I get that Biden wants to hold the options of the 14th Amendment or the trillion-dollar coin in his back pocket so as not to stymie negotiations, but the uncertainty is hurting the markets. Plus, Republicans don't negotiate in good faith anyway. Why not just move forward without them?
Enough is enough. You tried. Move the f*ck on.

rowemagWhite House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre: “the Republicans’ demand for cuts in the name of fiscal responsibility and deficit reduction is belied by their protection of tax breaks skewed for the wealthy and corporations. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said those tax cuts would add $3.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade.” #debtceiling #debtceilingcrisis
NoniJoniURGENT‼️ I would like to encourage everyone to call their representative and tell them to raise the debt ceiling, with no strings attached before we have a global financial catastrophe.

SLCW💥Sen. Sanders told #TheNewYorkTimes that under normal circumstances, the #debtLimit would be negotiated in 2023, but if #Republicans won the House, they’d hold the debt limit, and therefore the global economy, hostage to extract spending cuts he would find unacceptable.
Bernie was right. Joe Manchin was wrong.

KenThe constant capitulation and ring kissing by the #Democrats during the #DebtCeilingCrisis is beyond my belief! These are bills that are authorized for payment and are not tied to the budget! Stop negotiating with terrorists!
#PresidentBiden invoke the #14thAmendmentNOW and tell those #GQP fascists to take a hike!
