Denver had a big turnout

StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Judge rules against Musk and ‘Doge’, finding USAid shutdown ‘likely violated’ constitution – US politics live | Trump administration | The Guardian10·4 months agoWhich Federal Agency is going to do that? One under the Department of Justice? Maybe after four years, if control of the government flips, the make-up of the supreme court changes, and we don’t get another Merrick Garland?
Yeah, not gonna place a bet on that panning out…
StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Schumer Will Lead Senate Democrats To Pass Poison-Pilled Republican CR185·4 months agoI’ve voted Democrat my whole life out of the lesser evil thing. I think I’m going to vote third party at this point because things are getting eviler and they are part of the problem.
My question is if I vote Democrat again, will they simply maintain the status quo and do nothing until the next fascist runs on blowing up the system that they are defending that isn’t working for anyone and wins again?
Because so far that’s all that has happened. Oh yeah there was also that guy that won on “hope” and “change” and gave a handout to insurance companies instead of a public option.
After citizens united and before they are all owned by the same elites that crush everyone else. One party just does it under a cross and the other does it under a rainbow flag.

StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change8·4 months agoThis guy is a clown. The new 3 of the “5 pillars” of his EPA administration don’t have anything to do with its mission. Bringing back the auto industry, empowering the energy industry, and being a leader in AI.
Maybe they will once they stop being owned by the same people as the Republicans. They are a joke of an opposition party especially after reading their 20 bullet points on how to be Splenda republicans

Time to stop going to Walgreens and wait for the economic zombies to move on
StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump approval rating goes negative for first time in presidency111·4 months agoIt’s probably because most people that didn’t approve didn’t want to watch it in the first place because there’s nothing useful to hear.

StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Co-President Elon Musk wants to abolish federal regulations10·5 months agoA lot of these regulations are in place at the direction of congress through laws they have passed. That’s where the authority comes from… I don’t see how republicans will be able to repeal these laws quickly. So how far can Musk really go when legislation can still be stalled and/or fillibustered?
Hopefully some semblance of the balance of power holds. Federal regulations are often times the bare minimum with states adding in more stringent requirements.

StayDoomed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign53·5 months agoIt’s as simple as you need people to actually enforce laws and carry out programs laid out by Congress.
I don’t think you understand how laws work. The laws I work to to support were promulgated in the 1970s after rivers were lighting on fire.
They are complicated to enforce because the companies that cause environmental harm can afford high powered attorneys and lobbyists to prevent them from being enforced.
There is no one working on behalf of the american people to try to meet the intent of many of these laws we rely on - such as those to keep our environment, air we breathe, water we drink, relatively safe. Other than those in the government that have the authority to do so.
I don’t know how all of the other various agencies work specifically, but that’s generally what people are doing in the government
You don’t seem to understand this so you don’t value it. I think once it gets more fucked up, you will. This isn’t a liberal or conservative thing. The laws I work with were put on the books by Nixon. This is a rich stealing from you issue. Not left/right.
But maybe you are just troll, probably.
Oh no they were called out with a letter! This will change everything.
