gaslitnation.libsyn.comGaslit Nation: Controlled Opposition - TEASERWhat’s the Republican spending bill all about? It’s an extremely dangerous powergab engineered by Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and dirty lawyer who came up with the legal strategy to try to overturn the 2020 election. The Republican spending bill essentially grants legal protections to Trump and Musk’s ongoing illegal mass purge, to protect them against court orders–one of the last levers of power we have left. Any Democrat who votes for this is complicit in Trump and Musk’s tech-backed coup, illegally mass firing federal workers to replace them with an A.I. surveillance state. This week’s episode continues of the and newsletters on Controlled Opposition—those Vichy Democrats who refuse to stand up to the fascist Republicans in power. But why? What’s in it for them? In a dictatorship, no one is safe—not even former allies like Putin, who’ve found themselves mysteriously falling out of windows or exploding mid-air. Why are some Democrats still playing the role of complicit bystanders? The Senate is gearing up to vote on the extreme Republican spending bill, which slashes life-saving programs like Head Start and community health centers, while funneling billions to the Pentagon and Homeland Security. At a time when Trump is threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, and ICE is denying due process to green card holders like Mahmoud Khalil, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The bill also cuts Washington, DC’s budget—an attempt to punish the city for daring to protest Trump’s corrupt regime. But here's the thing: shutting down the government doesn’t empower Trump or Musk—it forces Democrats to get on the front lines and expose the Republican spending bill for what it really is: a power grab designed to protect Trump and Musk’s illegal tech-backed coup. There’s hope, though. While Trump and Musk face a future of justice (their approval ratings are plummeting), we need to keep fighting back.  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

There’s not a business owner on the planet that would dismantle the accounts receivable department when money is still owed to them.

Yet that’s exactly what Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are doing. The continuing resolution to keep the government running is drafted in such a way that it sneakily cuts the last $20 billion in long-term IRS enforcement funding earmarked for auditing ultra-wealthy tax cheats.

A showdown is brewing as House Republicans unveil a spending bill designed to assert their priorities! This $892.5 billion defense spend, coupled with an 8% cut in nondefense spending, risks a government shutdown without bipartisan support. Speaker Mike Johnson's challenge poses tough choices for Democrats while debates on essential programs like Social Security loom. Dive into the details and implications of this contentious legislation.

#maddow said...we might of seem #trump was taken advantage of by _not_ the brightest bulbs on the street

But, #Musk pulled off a #shutdowngovernment distraction avalanche AND an edited down #spendingbill that REMOVED from the bill the "screen and regulate investments in China" part.

With the goal to get his 2nd big #Shanghai #Tesla plant easily approved

Trump did a post distraction, his HATE of #panamacanal speech to take the heat off of Musk

For the next 4 years, we migjt see Trump being taken advantage of by _not_ the brightest bulbs on the street.
Musk caused a distraction even, amazing that he can cause a major distraction without being elected to Congress
Teska wants to build a 2nd big plant, nothing to see here, just move on Mr. and Ms. Congress
Musk has factories in China There is no USA USA USA about Musk

Musk unleashes shutdown chaos

Despite what #Trump & Vance say, the chaos on Capitol Hill this week is traced back to 1 man #Musk

House Speaker Johnson negotiated a deal with Democrats

Despite bill’s imperfections there was an agreement

Then Musk stepped in.

With over 100 posts X including the 13:32 declaration “THIS CRIMINAL BILL MUST NOT PASS”

Then threatening anyone who votes for this spending bill deserves to be voted out

Thank you president Biden;

“ President Joe Biden on Saturday signed legislation that averts a government shutdown heading into
Christmas, bringing a final close to days of upheaval in Washington after Congress passed a bipartisan budget plan just past the deadline and rejected Donald Trump's core demand in the negotiations.”

This is everything republicans left out from the original bill and that was approved last night just to please Musk so he could get his tax breaks, the cruelty to leave children with cancer without cancer research is beyond comprehension, the good news is that it was approved separately ( as someone mentioned here last night) and they have the necessary funds to continue this fight, there is also something for opioid recovery.

Rebellion in the gop , Chip Roy is one of the 38 republicans with some spine who voted against the Trump/Musk spending bill yesterday;

“ My position is simple—I am not going to raise or suspend the debt ceiling (racking up more debt) without significant & real spending cuts attached to it,” Roy wrote on X. “I’ve been negotiating to that end. No apologies. CC: @realDonaldTrump @SpeakerJohnson @SenJohnThune @freedomcaucus.” newrepublic.com/post/189588/ch
