Do people get this? I am not sure.
Schumer caved in to the Republicans last year. He’s got to do better this year. Republicans have shown they can’t be trusted. The rescission shows they will make a deal and then go back on it. Trump has been unwilling to spend all of the money allocated by Congress.
Is a shutdown the answer? I am not sure. I know Trump’s policies are unpopular and Democrats need to use that to block him to the extent possible. He has already done enormous, probably irreparable damage to the government.
8/30/25 – Trump is now going for a second rescission. Even some Republicans object to his tactics. Trump cannot be trusted on any deal.
Trump is clearly a racist. The media is too cowardly to say so. This is a particularly obvious example.
