"To be sure, there are 53 Senate Republicans, most of whom appear content to simply take orders from the White House and indifferent to the constitutional role of Congress when it comes to war. Indeed, as the sixth week of the military operations get underway, it’s extraordinary that neither the House nor the Senate have held a single hearing about the war, its merits, its cost, its objectives or the way in which it’s been executed."

In August 1974, U.S. #House and #Senate leaders visited #President #Nixon and told him he no longer had any support in #Congress. The next day, Nixon resigned. The next few days will tell us whether Mike #Johnson and John #Thune have the balls to do similar with #Trump. Threatening to destroy a "whole civilization" needs to be THE bright red line. #Iran

Merry Christmas from the #eugenicists, #fascists, and so-called #Christians in #MAGA.
From $2 to $1600 a month for lower-quality health insurance. In addition to raking over the coals #Trump, #Johnson, #Thune and so many more, bring the insurance companies to Congress and ask them why this is what insurance costs.

My take: The filibuster dies in 2029, at least for statehood votes. Remember the disgusting scene from The Life of Pi? The dems have fallen in and are swimming in it. Even idiots learn.Everyone knows [why the Republicans haven't abolished the filibuster as Trump wants]. Republicans are afraid of losing the House in 2026 and the Senate and White House in 2028 after 4 tumultuous years of Trump's reign of terror. They know that if they abolish the filibuster now, then by roughly March 1, 2029, the Democrats will have admitted D.C. and maybe Puerto Rico as states, passed the "John Lewis Voting Rights Act" and "For the People Act," overhauled the Supreme Court, made abortion legal nationwide, and implemented a long laundry list of other things Republicans hate. If the GOP keeps the filibuster now, if and when Democrats get control, the Republicans can say: "Look, when we had the trifecta, we didn't abolish it. In all fairness, you shouldn't now either."
Enjoy your day.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is ready to bring to a vote legislation imposing sanctions on countries that trade with Russia.
“I don’t want to commit to a hard deadline, but it will be soon,” he said, adding that he would schedule a vote in the “next 30 days”.

Native American Day is a legal holiday in South Dakota.
South Dakota was the first state to abandon Columbus Day.
Native Americans make up 8.2% of John Thune's constituency. Of course he should say positive things about it.

Senate Majority Leader John #Thune said Monday he would hold off on advancing a package of sanctions targeting Russia’s trading partners after Trump said he was prepared to act himself later this summer if Putin doesn’t move toward a peace deal with Ukraine.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune expects a vote this month on tough new Russia sanctions, signaling Trump’s growing rift with Putin. Backed by 85+ senators, the bill includes 500% tariffs on nations buying Russian oil, gas or other goods.

Now Dopey Yam is lying and telling everyone "Xi called me! Xi called me! Xi called me!"
It's pathetic, but par for his course.

Such a mystery!"

Me: They have to demand impeachment.
Dork: They shouldn't talk about impeachment. They don't have the votes.
Me: Their job is to get the votes, and to get the votes they have to make the case that it is absolutely necessary.

Congress can end this trade war any time they want.
Every day this economic collapse continues is a choice they made.

The #senate controls #tariffs. The bad math, #llm provided, high school project visual aid presentation from Trump, to tank the global economy (save #russia ), is condoned by 100 people in the absence of exercising their power.
#congress has the power of the purse. All the cuts that #trump and #musk have made, the #unitedstates house has has approved in the absence of exercising its power.
These are choices and bear the burden of responsibility and accountability.

The new Senate Majority Leader says he wants to get President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet through the confirmation process as quickly as possible
but spent a good part of Sunday cautioning there is “a process” that must be followed first.
U.S. Sen. #John #Thune, in the wake of a deadly New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans,
said that the incident was a good example of why “the Senate must get President Trump’s national security team in place as quickly as possible.”
On Friday, when the U.S. Congress began its 119th session, the Majority Leader said the upper chamber would work swiftly to “ensure President Trump has his team in place to secure our border, protect our homeland, and provide for our nation’s defense.”
But by Sunday the South Dakota Republican was tapping the brakes as he made the talk show rounds, explaining that Trump’s top picks are going to have some “hard questions” to answer before they are confirmed.
“The Senate has a role:
advise and consent.
And we intend
— we have a lot of our senators who take that role very seriously.
And so we will make sure that these nominees have a process,
a fair process,
in which they have an opportunity to make their cases
not only to the members of the committee
and ultimately to the full Senate
but also to the American people,”
he told NBC.Whether all of the 47th president’s picks make it past muster is an open question, Thune acknowledged,
saying that he doesn’t have “clarity” on how the votes will play out.
However, he’s inclined to provide the chief executive due consideration when it comes to deciding who serves in his administration, he said.
Republicans only have a three vote margin to work with,
so whether any nominee makes it through “is going to be up to each individual senator and how they decide to vote,” the Majority Leader said.
“I suspect a lot of them will get through and we’ll see about all of them.
Remains to be seen, but I think that’s why we have the process,
and we will adhere to that process
and give all of these nominees an opportunity to make their case,”
he told CBS. -
Ma non è difficile immaginare uno scenario che potrebbe far venir meno questo autocontrollo.
#Trump, durante il suo primo mandato, ha oltraggiosamente imposto sanzioni al precedente procuratore della Corte penale internazionale, Fatou Bensouda, e a uno dei suoi vice per aver semplicemente aperto un'indagine in Palestina che avrebbe potuto portare ad accuse contro funzionari israeliani e una in Afghanistan che avrebbe potuto coinvolgere i torturatori dell'era di George W. #Bush.
L'amministrazione #Biden ha revocato le sanzioni.Il nuovo leader della maggioranza del Senato degli Stati Uniti, John #Thune, ha già minacciato di riproporre sanzioni simili.
Se Trump cederà di nuovo a questo tentativo di manipolare un'istituzione di giustizia indipendente, non prevedo alcun ritegno da parte di Khan. ⬇️9 -
the fascist regime is nominating terrible people for extremely powerful positions as a test of loyalty for Republican senators.
It won't happen, but it would be very funny if Majority Leader Thune found a way to reject those nominations by voice vote, which would avoid calling the roll and recording who voted for/against who :-)

It sounds like Thune is open to recess appointments but not set on them yet. https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/13/south-dakota-senator-john-thune-says-recess-appointments-still-an-option-for-trump-cabinet/76265376007/
We can, by contacting our Senators and Representatives demand the full advising and consenting of appointments (and yes, Representatives can add pressure to the Senate to not do recess appointments).

Russia Not Happy With Trump Cabinet Choices
by @jakebroe
32:07The world is watching as President-elect #Trump starts naming cabinet positions and how the people he is selecting view the war in Ukraine.
Republican Senator John #Thune is the new majority leader and he has gone on the record supporting Ukraine.
