BREAKING: Bernie Sanders Excoriates Trump And Musk Over Cuts During Brut...

Chuck Summer Leads Some Democrats to "Obey in Advance"

  

Marc Cooper March 13, 2025. 

It is my distinct recollection that on Wednesday afternoon, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer defiantly announced he would be voting no on a Republican-written continuing resolution (CR) to continue federal funding for another 6 months. Meaning he was ready to see a government shut-down wholly provoked by MAGA.

“Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR,” Schumer said during a Senate floor speech. He, instead offered an “alternative” cr for 30 days that would forego all cuts and leave a month for negotiations.

“We should vote on that,” Schumer said. “I hope — I hope — our Republican colleagues will join us to avoid a shutdown on Friday.”

Haha.

That was yesterday. Today, he said he changed his mind and would be voting yes with the Republicans and that in turn gives the green light to other Democrats to follow suit and allow the MAGA bill to pass, avoiding a government shutdown that would take place midnight Friday.

The Republicans simply don’t have the 60 votes they need for passage and they need a minimum of 8 Democrats to bail them out. Schumer is now busy starting to carry the water, saving Trump and MAGA from owning their own self--provoked shutdown.

This is a moment of maximum Democratic leverage that they will not have again until the midterms and that is not a lock. It is a tragic, stupid and rather repugnant move.

We have to dip a bit into the weeds to fully comprehend the scale of this intentional fumble by Schumer and likely many other Democrats,

Last Tuesday the House narrowly passed its own funding bill that was strictly partisan. The bill increases Pentagon funding as it will for Trump’s failing mass deportation program.

But it also includes $13b in budget cuts for spending on social program including that includes disaster relief for California and a slash in funding for the National Instutute for Health. Other cuts will remove 57% of the funding for DOD research on cancer, kidney disease, and prostate cancer. Another $20 billion cut is targeted at the IRS which will cause a further fall in tax monies that could easily cost more than the $20b initial cut. While it does not place reductions ion medicare and medicaid, it will leave several other safety nets vulnerable, making life for the bottom half of the population ever more difficult. No surprise, it includes no cuts for the chainsaw DOGE machine.

Now Schumer and, privately, other Democrats say they will go along with the Republicans because a shut down could give Trump the power to decide what parts of the government stay open and which ones would not. They argue this would give the The Don too much power to dismantle the government as if anything so far has really stopped him. It’s a weak tea argument.

Schumer today defended his switch saying:

“There are no winners in a government shutdown,” Schumer said in a floor speech. “It’s not really a decision, it’s a Hobson’s choice: Either proceed with the bill before us or risk Donald Trump throwing America into the chaos of a shutdown.”

“For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” he added. “I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”

If Chuck can change his mind, so can I. This is not weak tea. It’s a crock of Shinola.

It is true that, either way, Trump retains power to cut whatever he wants, What’s not true is if that in the case of a shutdown there would indeed be a loser — Donald Trump and MAGA,

MAGA controls the White House and majorities in both houses of congress. A shutdown would be THEIR problem. Of course Trump would blame the Democrats for the shutdown, That’s automatic. But you’d have to be a pea brain to not understand that the real responsibility would fall on the recklessness and hubris of the Republicans in congress and the babbling idiot in the White House

Also, a shut down would put enormous pressure on Trump to negotiate a settlement as many GOP House and even Senate reps whose particular districts and states wold be most hard hit and would have to pacify their roiled constituents. It would create a situation where, for once, the Democrats would hold the cards and Trumo & Co, would be the supplicants. 

Oh my, we certainly would not want Trump to be so humiliated, would we?

Trump and Elon Musk have aimed their wrecking ball at public schools and the futures of the 50 million students."

 public schools and the futures of the 50 million students."

Jake Johnson

The Trump administration on Tuesday took a major step toward dismantling the U.S. Department of Education by firing roughly half of the agency's workforce, a decision that teachers' unions and other champions of public education said would have devastating consequences for the nation's school system. 

The department, now led by billionaire Linda McMahon, moved swiftly, terminating more than 1,300 federal workers on Tuesday including employees at the agency's student aid and civil rights offices. 

Sheria Smith, president of AFGE Local 252, which represents Education Department workers, pledged in a statement to "fight these draconian cuts." The union toldNPR minutes after the statement was issued that Smith, an attorney with the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, was laid off. 

The Education Department said the mass staffing cuts would affect "nearly 50%" of the agency's workforce and that those impacted "will be placed on administrative leave beginning Friday, March 21st." 

In a press release, McMahon declared that the workforce cuts reflect the department's "commitment to efficiency, accountability, and ensuring that resources are directed where they matter most: to students, parents, and teachers." 

But critics, including a union that represents more than 3 million education workers nationwide, said the firings underscore the Trump administration's commitment to gutting public education in the interest of billionaires pushing tax cuts and school privatization

"Trump and Elon Musk have aimed their wrecking ball at public schools and the futures of the 50 million students in rural, suburban, and urban communities across America by dismantling public education to pay for tax handouts for billionaires," said Becky Pringle, president of the National Education Association. 

"The real victims will be our most vulnerable students," Pringle added. "Gutting the Department of Education will send class sizes soaring, cut job training programs, make higher education more expensive and out of reach for middle-class families, take away special education services for students with disabilities, and gut student civil rights protections." 

"We will not sit by while billionaires like Elon Musk and Linda McMahon tear apart public services piece by piece." 

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, said in a statement that "denuding an agency so it cannot function effectively is the most cowardly way of dismantling it." 

"The massive reduction in force at the Education Department is an attack on opportunity that will gut the agency and its ability to support students, throwing federal education programs into chaos across the country," she continued. "This move will directly impact the 90% of students who attend public schools by denying them the resources they need to thrive. That's why Americans squarely oppose eliminating the Education Department. We are urging Congress—and the courts—to step in to ensure all students can maintain access to a high-quality public education." 

The Education Department purge came days after news broke that President Donald Trump was preparing an executive order aimed at completely shuttering the agency—a move that would legally require congressional approval. 

Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said late Tuesday that the Education Department firings "are Project 2025 in action, and they have one goal—to make it easier for billionaires and anti-union extremists to give themselves massive tax breaks at the expense of working people." 

"Today's announcement from the Department of Education is just the beginning of what's to come," Saunders warned. "These layoffs threaten the well-being and educational opportunities for millions of children across the country and those seeking higher education. The dedicated public service workers at public schools, colleges, and universities deserve better. Elections may have consequences, but we will not sit by while billionaires like Elon Musk and Linda McMahon tear apart public services piece by piece. We will keep speaking out and finding ways to fight back."

The Trump Depression

The Trump Depression: Donald Trump is on track to be the first president to deliberately engineer a severe depression.

Friday, March 07, 2025

Is Our Government on Drugs ? Elon Musk ?

 Is our government on Drugs ?

Elon’s K-hole…and ours

https://the.ink/p/this-is-your-government-on-drugs?


Psychedelics were supposed to open hearts and create connection and heal trauma. Jefferson Airplane vocalist Grace Slick even plotted to increase the peace by dosing Richard Nixon with LSD. So why is what may be our first psychedelic regime slashing government and spreading inhumanity?

Elon Musk has been open about his use of drugs at least since he lit up a blunt with Joe Rogan back in 2018. But most recently he’s been an advocate of the anaesthetic ketamine. He’s talked at length to Ronan Farrow and Don Lemon about his use of the drug as a treatment for depression (which is very legitimate), and he has waved off mounting concerns about abuse, despite reporting that alleges he’s also a recreational user

And that’s what raises red flags. Researcher Celia Morgan has pointed outthat ketamine can make regular users “distinctly dissociated in their day-to-day existence.” Musk has said repeatedly, after all, that his “mind is a storm.” But it was seeing Musk onstage at CPAC in dark glasses, barely able to string sentences together, and practicing questionable chainsaw safety, that had a lot of people asking:

Are these people high, man?

It’s an attractive explanation for the chaos. As Shayla Love wrote in The Atlantic this week:

Frequent, heavy recreational use—say, several times a week—has been linked to cognitive effects that last beyond the high, including impaired memory, delusional thinking, superstitious beliefs, and a sense of specialness and importance.

That sure rings a bell.

Now we’re not doctors, and would only ever offer a political diagnosis. So we suggest that our collective concern might be less about the direct effects of Musk’s drug use than about how he and other Trumpworld fixtures mix psychedelic adventurism — something we expect to be countercultural and progressive — with right-wing politics.

Share

But how surprised should we be?

After all, the psychedelic 1960s merged into the Me Decade of the 1970s and the greed-is-good 1980s (if you weren’t there, you can catch up by bingeing Family Ties). The anti-establishmentarian strain of hippie utopianism turned libertarian, and fed into the Californian Ideology — the market-fundamentalist techno-optimism that has made Silicon Valley the center of the financial world. It wasn’t the join-together sense of collective purpose that stuck, but the DIY anti-establishment spirit — and perhaps the drugs.

And psychedelics have their authoritarian history, too. Some early users saw LSD and psilocybin as tools by which elite researchers could unlock the secrets that could direct society to utopia. The CIA experimented with LSD as a truth serum. The Summer of Love was something of an afterthought.

The far right has brought those strains together under an all-encompassing and market-first faith in DIY self-invention. Some of Ketamine’s appeal right now has to do with its loose regulation and looser marketing, capitalizing on that spirit. Like others in the Trump orbit — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (himself a story of 1960s promise gone wrong), for instance — Musk is famously opposed to traditional medications for depression, namely SSRIs (like Prozac). Both men are on board with better living through chemistry, but not if the man sticks it to him. And as with so many far-right innovations, it’s a terrible, anti-social response to a real problem: you’re not paranoid — the pharma industry is out to get you! 

Musk’s positions aren’t so far from denouncing vaccines and embracing ivermectin, or giving kids cod liver oil (as Kennedy now advises) rather than vaccinating them against measles, or drinking raw milk, or belief in the curative power of raw water — all articles of faith on the far right.

Yes, think for yourself, question authority, by all means. But when you question everything, you’re sometimes left with nothing. And then you have to fill that gap. The problem with this particular K-hole is that we’re all at risk of falling in.

Trump and the Big Lie

The Big Lie

Bernie Sanders 

We are living in a pivotal moment in our country's history. And how we respond to this moment will impact not only our lives, but the lives of our kids and grandchildren. 

As you heard last night, President Trump has been very effective in creating a parallel universe. A set of ideas that either have no basis in reality, or are nowhere near the most important concerns of the American people. 

He does it through the concept of the BIG LIE, and boy did we hear that last night. He says something that is grossly false, says it over and over again, and has right-wing social media blast it out endless times until people believe it. 

The purpose of all of these lies is not just to push his hateful right-wing ideology. It is a masterful effort to deflect attention away from the most important issues facing the people of this country — issues Trump and his billionaire friends do not want to address because it is not in their financial interests to do so. 

Trump spoke for almost 100 minutes and he almost completely ignored the issues keeping working people up at night as they worry about how their families are going to survive during these tough times. 

100 minutes and he did not have one word to say about the economic realities facing 60 percent of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck. 

100 minutes and not one word to say about our broken, dysfunctional and expensive health care system that has left 80 million Americans uninsured or underinsured or why we pay by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs and 1 out of 4 Americans are unable to afford the medicine their doctors prescribe. 

100 minutes and not one word to say about the major housing crisis in America that has left 800,000 Americans who are homeless and the millions who spend more than half of their limited income on housing. 

100 minutes and not one word to say about the massive income and wealthy inequality that has 3 Americans owning more wealth than the bottom half of our society. 

100 minutes and not one word about a corrupt campaign finance system that allows a handful of billionaires to buy elections. 

100 minutes and not one word to say about the fact that our life expectancy is 4 years lower than other wealthy countries, and the bottom 50 percent of this country live on average 7 years shorter life than the top 1 percent. In other words, being poor in this country is a death sentence. 

100 minutes and not one word to say how we are going to address the planetary crisis of climate change. 

And the reason he had very little to say about the crises working families are facing is because he has no plan or desire to address them. Despite some of his rhetoric, Trump and his billionaire friends could not care any less about the concerns of the working people of this country. 

He did urge Congress to pass his big beautiful budget... 

But he left out the part that that budget would cut Medicaid by $880 billion. 

According to one estimate, it means up to 36 million Americans including millions of children would be thrown off the health care they gave. Think about it — we're talking about people who own their own spaceships who are trying to take away health care from millions of kids. It's a disgrace. 

A 100 minute speech, not one word about that. 

I guess he forgot... 

Friends, let me be direct: 

At this particular moment in history, despair is not an option. None of us have the privilege of hiding under the covers. Let us never forget that real change only happens when ordinary people stand up — by the millions — against oppression and injustice. 

I am going to do my part, and I need you with me. 

We just had two large and successful rallies in Iowa and Nebraska recently. Thousands of people turned out. 

This weekend, I'll be going to Michigan and Wisconsin where thousands more have already RSVP'd to attend those events. 

But that is not all. I'm going to continue running around the country talking to people about what Donald Trump is trying to do — and to talk about our vision for an agenda that works for the many and not just the few. 

We can win. We will win. But only if we go forward together. 

In solidarity, 

Bernie Sanders

Numerous writers, individuals, and organizations have analyzed and opined on the current situation.  On this site, we have shared the efforts of many organizations. 

The fundamental questions are – what are we going to do about the coup against our democratic government?  Many  tactics, many strategies are available. 

 

They are described on our Resistance Pages.

The Democratic Party is not going to lead us to substantive resistance.  DSA has shown itself to be largely ineffectual.

 

I, for myself, find a need to move on to more assertive resistance.  I am exploring tax resistance. Some of us did this during the war in Vietnam. This time the danger is not to the people of a distant land, it is a danger to our country.

It Was an Ambush


Tom Nichols
February 28, 2025
The Atlantic

Leave aside, if only for a moment, the utter boorishness with which President Donald Trump and Vice President J. D. Vance treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House today. Also leave aside the spectacle of American leaders publicly pummeling a friend as if he were an enemy. All of the ghastliness inflicted on Zelensky today should not obscure the geopolitical reality of what just happened: The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence.

Trump’s advisers have already declared the meeting a win for “putting America first,” and his apologists will likely spin and rationalize this shameful moment as just a heated conversation—the kind of thing that in Washington-speak used to be called a “frank and candid exchange.” But this meeting reeked of a planned attack, with Trump unloading Russian talking points on Zelensky (such as blaming Ukraine for risking global war), all of it designed to humiliate the Ukrainian leader on national television and give Trump the pretext to do what he has indicated repeatedly he wants to do: side with Russian President Vladimir Putin and bring the war to an end on Russia’s terms. Trump is now reportedly considering the immediate end of all military aid to Ukraine because of Zelensky’s supposed intransigence during the meeting.

Vance’s presence at the White House also suggests that the meeting was a setup. Vance is usually an invisible backbencher in this administration, with few duties other than some occasional trolling of Trump’s critics. (The actual business of furthering Trump’s policies is apparently now Elon Musk’s job.) This time, however, he was brought in to troll not other Americans, but a foreign leader. Marco Rubio—in theory, America’s top diplomat—was also there, but he sat glumly and silently while Vance pontificated like an obnoxious graduate student.

Zelensky objected, as he should have, when the vice president castigated the Ukrainian president for not showing enough personal gratitude to Trump. And then in a moment of immense hypocrisy, Vance told Zelensky that it was “disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.” But baiting Zelensky into fighting in front of the media was likely the plan all along, and Trump and Vance were soon both yelling at Zelensky. (“This is going to be great television,” Trump said during the meeting.) The president at times sounded like a Mafia boss—“You don’t have the cards”; “you’re buried there”—but in the end, he sounded like no one so much as Putin himself as he hollered about “gambling with World War III,” as if starting the biggest war in Europe in nearly a century was Zelensky’s idea.

After the meeting, Trump dismissed the Ukrainian leader and then issued a statement that could only have pleased Moscow:

I have determined that President Zelensky is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.

Trump might as well have dictated this post on Truth Social before the meeting, because Zelensky didn’t stand a chance of having an actual discussion at the White House. When he showed Trump pictures of brutalized Ukrainian soldiers, Trump shrugged. “That’s tough stuff,” he muttered. Perhaps someone told Zelensky that Trump doesn’t read much, and reacts to images, but Trump, uncharacteristically, seems to have been determined to stay on message and pick a fight.

Vance, for his part, fully inhabited the role of a smarmy talk-show sidekick, jumping in to make sure the star got the support he needed while slamming one of the guests. The vice president is an unserious man who tries to insert himself into serious moments, but this time the stakes were much higher than the usual dustups with the media or congressional Democrats. He chuckled as Brian Glenn, a journalist from the right-wing channel Real America’s Voice who is reportedly dating Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, asked Zelensky the tough and incisive question of why he had not worn a suit in the Oval Office. (Perhaps he’ll ask Musk why he wore a hat and T-shirt to a Cabinet meeting, but I doubt it.)

The sheer rudeness shown to a foreign guest and friend of the United States was (to use a word) deplorable as a matter of manners and grace, but worse, Trump and Vance acted like a couple of online Kremlin sock puppets instead of American leaders. They pushed talking points that they either knew or should have known were wrong. Even if Zelensky were as fluent and capable in English as Winston Churchill, he would never have been able to rebut the flood of falsehoods. No, the U.S. has not given Ukraine $350 billion; yes, Zelensky has repeatedly expressed his thanks to America and to Trump; no, Zelensky was not attacking the administration. The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.

Vance showed how dedicated he was to point-scoring rather than policy making with an observation so shallow that he was lucky that Zelensky was too off-balance to call him out for it. To emphasize Ukraine’s perilous situation, Vance noted that Zelensky was sending conscripts to the front lines, as if this was an unprecedented policy that only the most desperate regime would dare enact. Zelensky said that all nations at war have problems, but he might have pointed out to Vance that Ukraine is fighting for its very existence, while the United States has dragged conscripts to places far from home—including Korea and Vietnam—to fight against troops supported by the Kremlin.

Today’s meeting and America’s shameful vote in the United Nations on Monday confirmed that the United States is now aligned with Russia and against Ukraine, Europe, and most of the planet. I felt physically sick watching the president of the United States yell at a brave ally, fulminating in the Oval Office as if he were an addled old man shaking his fist at a television. Zelensky has endured tragedies, and risked his life, in ways that men such as Trump and Vance cannot imagine. (Vance served as a public-relations officer in the most powerful military in the world; he has never had to huddle in a bunker during a Russian bombardment.) I am ashamed for my nation; even if Congress acts to support and aid Ukraine, it cannot restore the American honor lost today.

But no matter how disgusted anyone might be at Trump and Vance’s behavior, the strategic reality is that this meeting is a catastrophe for the United States and the free world. America’s alliances are now in danger, and should be: Trump is openly, and gleefully, betraying everything America has tried to defend since the defeat of the Axis 80 years ago. The entire international order of peace and security is now in danger, as Russian autocrats, after slaughtering innocent people for three years, look forward to enjoying the spoils of their invasion instead of standing trial for their crimes. (Shortly after Trump dismissed Zelensky from the White House, Putin’s homunculus, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, posted on X: “The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office.”)

Friday, February 28, 2025, will go into the history books as one of the grimmest days in American diplomacy, the beginning of a long-term disaster that every American, every U.S. ally, and anyone who cares about the future of democracy will have to endure. With the White House’s betrayal of Ukraine capping a month of authoritarian chaos in America, Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.
