The Trump administration significantly cut funding for flood prevention projects in blue states across the country while creating new water construction opportunities in red states, undoing a Biden-era budget proposal that would have allocated money more evenly, according to a data analysis prepared by Democratic staffers.

    All these comments are making fun of Democrats for “sounding the alarm,” but what the fuck do you want them to do?

      They could stop voting to confirm Donnie’s appointments for one.

      They can start by not rubber stamping the fascist political appointees that are doing these things, for starters.

      What we voted them into office to do? It’s not that hard to think.

        Define “we”. Dems do not have a majority in either the House or Senate, so there’s not really much they can do.

          Republicans in minority: Gumming up the system, filibuster, make no concessions, forces the Democrats to work with them.

          Democrats in minority: We’ve tried nothing and we’re out of ideas.

          Maybe they don’t vote yes on Trump’s censorship bills? Maybe they refuse his cabinet picks? Just a thought they represent the people who voted them in. Wild idea, I know.

          I don’t think voting in approval of KOSA, Trump’s cabinet picks, and pretending to vote No when you actually vote Yes is “voting against this shit”.
