Consider a devout Muslim person elected to congress who is not able to pray because they don’t get time throughout the day to do it. As a result, they step down because their faith is important to them.

The “usual suspects” don’t want Muslims in congress, so they claim that prayer breaks are unconstitutional, effectively blocking Muslims from any position in Congress, and weakening our democracy further.

It’s another thing entirely if the “prayer breaks” were something they tried to force onto the rest of the country. That’d be the government trying to use its power to spread a particular religion, which is unconstitutional. But prayer breaks inside Congress are just an accessibility thing.

I hope those people who voted for Crawford ALSO signed Musk’s stupid petition and got some money out of him.

Don’t give that spineless fuck his participation award. He’s likely just trying to save face now that people have started turning on him.

They love the filibuster.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I see it like adding a wheelchair ramp so handicapped congress people can enter the building on their own.

If someone wasn’t able to become a congress person because it isn’t “accessible” to their religion, that would be pretty bad for democracy (although tbh I wouldn’t mind banning religious people from positions of power in general)

Stop believing anything Schumer says. He is pro whoever supports the most genocide against Palestinians. Democrats have supported it for a while, but Trump definitely wins that comparison by a landslide.

Trump does NOT want a government shutdown. He can’t do much without a budget, and it will piss off voters. If he really wanted to shut it all down, he could have refused to sign the budget and forced a shutdown anyway.

Yes they are, reread the comment. They’re making a boring logical platitude, but they’re equating Israel with “the Jews” in a way that’s irrelevant to their point.

Again, there was no honest reason to add “and the Jews” to their comment other than to equate Israel with Jewish people in general. That’s a tactic used by pro-genocide people to accuse anyone that protests Israel of being anti-Semitic.

While that may be true, nobody saying “free Poland” has a positive view of Germany, do they?

down with Israel and the Jews

See, now you lost all credibility. There’s no honest reason whatsoever to add “and the Jews” to that sentence.

Israel is not “the Jews”.

LMAO someone please make that website. Publish all the totally not classified classified stuff that this incompetent administration is going to leak. This definitely won’t be the last time it happens.

The autopen has achieved sentience.

I want to believe, but can anyone debunk this? Like, point out a reasonable, plausible explanation for this that doesn’t involve fraud?
