The legislature writes it's own rules, which must bother you. And no one buys your 30 votes more represents the will of the people, which concern is ironic as you discount "the will of the people" on ballot initiatives that don't go your way. Better sit this one out, Guv.

You pretend to be baffled where the '33' came from, as though it was an arbitrary number. I'd explain it, but there's a lot of math so you may want to have a seat. 33 out 0f 49 results in a 2/3 majority, a standard majority from the many in parliamentary procedure.

Pillen, your bright idea to reduce the 33 votes needed to overcome a filibuster (what the NEGOP calls any discussion longer thaan 15 minutes) to 30, is yesterday's news - nine years ago precisely and burned much of that session, only to fail. Maybe before you were paying attn.

@Gianl1974 Perhaps all members of Congress should renew their oath to the Constitution on an annual basis - to remind them that their duty lies with the Country and WE THE PEOPLE. Leaders come and go, THE PEOPLE remain.

If employees for any corporation out there refused and ignored their job duties even though they are receiving paychecks and full health insurance coverage with pension plans like the Republicans in Congress, the CEO would shout out "You are all fired!!" and they would be escorted by security out the door.

Hey Republicans; He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals. You said nothing. He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing. He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing. He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing. He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing. He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing. He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing. He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing. His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing. He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing. His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing. He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing. He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing. You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them. And it’s only been a year. Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember? Not to him. To the Constitution. It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

Obscene thing to say. If you must, say, “I’m sorry but Ukraine is not our problem; we have bigger issues to deal with; Europe should step up”. But to say you’re proud of starving a country of help in the face of lethal aggression? Just don’t understand this man’s morality.

This👇is quite extraordinary, showing how much Trump is uniting Europeans on all sides 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 him Elly Schlein, Leader of Italy's largest opposition party, (herself 50/50🇮🇹🇺🇸) furiously condemns Trump's attacks on her opponent Meloni. The whole Chamber stands up to applaud the whole time. My English s/t👇 "Italy is a free and sovereign country. Our Constitution is clear - Italy repudiates war. No foreign Head of State has the right to attack, threaten or disrespect our country or government. We are opponents in this Chamber, but we are all Italian citizens and Italian MPs. We are asking for unanimous condemnation of these attacks and threats"
