LaffyOops, I spoke to soon. I'll take a break in a minute:
Senate leaders struck a deal on Friday to pave the way for passage of the House GOP’s 7-mo. stopgap spending bill & avoid a shutdown. 1/...
2/ "Under the deal, Democrats agreed to speed up consideration of the bill to allow a vote on Friday in exchange for votes on four amendments — but not Democrats’ preferred four-week funding alternative. Without an accord, it would have taken days to get the stopgap bill through the Senate and a shutdown would have started just after midnight on Saturday" https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/14/senate-moves-ahead-on-shutdown-votes-00231437

James Gleick@GottaLaff @mastodonmigration Both Senators from New York. It's a dark day. They're not reading the room, to put it mildly.
TC Won't Give In To Lies@gleick @GottaLaff @mastodonmigration
They're reading the Wall St room, which is the only room they care about.

What they are telling us is that we are not their room.
They are performing for someone(s), and it is not the people they represent.
cmdenton47@gleick @GottaLaff @mastodonmigration I am finished with contributing to Democrat politicians as long as Chuck Schumer is their leader.
