If you are in the US please #callyoursenators to reject the proposed CR #fundingbill!! This #continuingresolution hands the keys over to #trump and #musk to ransack our #government for the next 6 months. #TrumpRegime and #MuskNazi are ignoring law while the government is open. Being closed won't change much except give up #democrats, who are the #MinorityParty in both Senate and House, last #bargainingchip for 6 months. So much #damage has been done in less than two months, in 6 months there may be little to save.

Ask your #senators to let the #governmentshutdown if that's what #republicans want. The #GOPfascists Speaker Mike Johnson quickly rammed the CR through the #houseofrepresentatives by offering #gopcowards representatives conflicting promises. He then forced the House to break and end their session of Congress, which limited the #senate to accept the CR or let the government shut down. Budgets need to be #bipartisanlegislation. Furthermore, #TrumpLies and #muskrat have illegally #impounded funds approved by #congress, showing that budgets need to be enforced or Congress is a #powerlessshell. The #goptraitors has signaled for the last two months that they have no interest in protecting their co-equality as a branch of government. If #democratsawol give up their last position of #power, Congress will be #beholden to the Executive Branch. They will have #surrendered their #constitutional responsibility to act as a backstop to #executiveoverreach. Call your Senators to hold them #accountable to the people. Hold them to their oath to the Constitution. #oathtoconstitution #FuckTrump #FuckElon #FuckElonMusk

US does not support independence, but US law requires it to defend Taiwan.

US noted that China has publicly called for lower tensions in #MiddleEast, but said it was too soon to tell whether China was using its diplomatic muscle to press Iran on it.

They also discussed #Russia’s war in #Ukraine, #NorthKorea, #SouthChinaSea, & #Myanmar.

Biden aide urges Bejing to press Iran over Houthi attacks. China warns US over Taiwan independence

U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan has pressed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during talks in Thailand to use China’s influence with Iran to ease tensions in the Middle East. The officials also agreed to work toward arranging a call between President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The meetings Friday and Saturday in Bangkok followed up on the presidents’ discussions in November in California. The Thailand meetings also took place after a ruling-party candidate opposed by Beijing won Taiwan’s recent presidential election, and U.S. and Chinese military officials resumed a once-frozen dialogue. And they played out as attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen continue to threaten global shipping in the Red Sea.
