This is so heartening, THANK YOU! I felt so much better all day, in spite of the gloom and doom feeling about what is going to happen if they government shuts down. Judges like Alsup, and lawyers like you have made me feel so much more hope! <3
IMHO people are iorate-- and that includes a lot of Trump voters. Many Congrssional Republicans have called Trump a ;liar for his positions on Putin and Ukraine. Today, he had SEVEAL court losses. Musk is ultra vifres! And he made a fool of himself re NATO -- went off against Canada again.
Neither Jeff Nesbit, Jared Bernstein, Marvin Kalb, or Barb McQuade are on Bluesky, so I can't refrence them to Feathers of Hope refrerences. Plese pass it to them to see what they think.
Jared Bernstein's perspective is very helpful in rounding up the various reactions to what's been happening with the Trump administration. Thanks for all the contributors to The Contrarian and giving us a range of useful information.
After all these years, today I changed my registration to "Unaffiliated." Apparently Schumer and some other Dems are not going to stand up for us in the Senate. We are on our own. Not one more dollar to the Dems.
I think we will see new Democratic leadership emerge in the coming months.
I think Schumer actually has a valid point about the even greater harm that Trump and Musk could do during a shutdown. Previous shutdowns occurred when Congress was less dysfunctional and when we didn't have two sociopaths in the White House.
I worked at DOJ during Gingrich's 1995-1996shutdown. When the shutdown ended my office's backlog shot up and we never fully recovered.
**** it does not appear possible to contact Schumer's NY or DC office by phone or website. COWARD. How to reach him to change his view to NO ON THIS BUDGET??
* Need to hear if people formerly fired are back working and getting paid. If not, how long could Trusk's standoff against judicial decisions last?
* What specific damages to Americans have been done because of DOGE? Not top-line reports in all media. The kinds of things which would make trumpers and maga folks worry. Ask for feedback and you'll get it. Not about checks not being sent to low-income families, since trumpers think that's a good thing. What happens when tourists don't go to national parks, out of protest or fears (including international tourists)?

We've left (yet two more) phone messages for our Senators Booker and Kim, asking them to pass our outrage along to Sen. Schumer.

This is an amazing group of Contrarians. Up to the moment details. How does it get any better!
