Because of the Republican shut down our air traffic controllers are still having to work and not get paid - many air Traffic controllers are stressed to the max and some are quitting and some are calling in sick, leaving the people who make flying safe with insufficient people to keep flying on time and safe - this is already caused major delays and mass confusion - is it going to take an air disaster with hundreds of people dying for the Republicans to end this?
I don’t understand why members of Congress are still able to be paid when everybody else is not. Perhaps their missing paychecks would end this impasse. And, perhaps, this would be a good thing for Democrats to consider when they become the majority and could override any DJT vetoes! (And so I dream…) (also, isn’t Congress mostly non-essential?)
Keep the government shutdown until the MAGA maggots FEEL the PAIN. That's how you get the Republicans to cave AND grow a spine because their constituency will be at their throats. Keep it shut down to break their power!
"Vought’s threats...remind the public of the heavy-handed way that Trump has governed. The taste for retribution. The embrace of illegal tactics. The desire to hurt people needlessly. The indifference to the actual public services they are charged by the constitution to deliver."
So why do we, the "public", we the people, permit Trump to continue governing this way. Shutdown not just "the government." Shutdown Trump. Defund his criminal regime. If we fail, if Trump is allowed to continue governing this way, to rape and pillage the American people, then at leasat make it ultimately clear to posterity that the man singularly responsible for destroying the greatest experiment in popular democracy is Donald J. Trump. Let that be his legacy.
But don't cave in anymore. Do everything possible to stop him. Shutdown the government and then lead the inevitable national strike that will follow. Shutdown to Overthrow. STRIKE
The shut-down is yet another case of extortion. Why have Democrats not leveled a RICO case against Trump's administration and Project 2025 conspiracists?
One thing that I have loved is Garcia pushback DEMANDING to prove the $17 trillion in tariffs ... show us that and we will show you that the government is whole with all that extra money ......
now that's what I call a true demand ...... love this guy... what will maga do when there is no proof to be found?
“The drumbeat for Democratic leaders to do something, anything, to demonstrate opposition to Trump is also much stronger than it was before. New York Times columnist Ezra Klein urged Democrats to “stop acting like this is normal”: If they believe their own rhetoric that Trump is dismantling democracy, they should no longer continue to support the government.”

With more people like you explaining what they are doing it does sound a bit like irreparable harm has and is coming to all of US~
This not negotiating. This certainly isn't governing. It's mob governance by extortion.

A general strike is the only solution I can see. Stop Airlines, stop electricity, stop gasoline deliveries, shut grocery stores. Turn off the lights.

Yes. Strongly, strongly agreed.
