Regardless of the talking point nearly every Republican legislator in Congress has been repeating, blaming Democrats for a shutdown engineered by Trump and Republican congressional leadership, the Orange Menace wants people to know the shutdown is his.
the filibuster is manifestly unfair. the way state lines are drawn, the incredibly lopsided population distribution, and the fact some people don't get senators at all... it all tilts heavily towards the gop already.
i'd be okay with getting rid of the filibuster... but only for the dems
The GOP doesn't care one bit about the shutdown. Trump and Musk began tearing civil society apart from day one and they are perfectly happy to see it all continue to fall apart while they sit back and rake in the grift.
