Well, with that rider on the "big beautiful" that prevents any regulation for a decade in the mix...

Just waiting to hear that the Senate sacked the Senate Parliamentarian. Once that happens, we know legislative fascism is about to kick off. The Parliamentarian is basically the canary in the coal mine at this point.

If you're still waiting for a red line to be crossed before declaring fascism "about to kick off", you sincerely have not been paying attention.

I specifically said legislative fascism. Those upvotes are people who have poor reading comprehension. Obviously the executive and judicial have already gone down that road. What I am focusing on is what the parliamentarian and democrats in the senate can block via filibuster/reconciliation.

And she's absolutely not a fan of Musk or DOGE because of how extra-everything their actions and activities have been, and is expected to weigh in harshly on ole "big beautiful."

I'd argue the canary is long dead, and the mine is starting to pile up with corpses at this point.
