Quite the contrast right now between North Carolina, where the GOP is ramming through a last-minute bill before it loses its vetoproof majority, and Minnesota, where Dems lost the trifecta but have not called the special session to do anything in the lame-duck: www.minnpost.com/state-govern...

Yes, this is a victory—a temporary one.
We must assume this bill will return in 2025 and be passed without the need for a vetoproof majority. And when this bill passes, Trump will effectively have unilateral power to shut down any nonprofit he wants without providing any factual basis for doing so.

Harris did not lose the election because a bill to ban TikTok passed with vetoproof majorities and I think you know this.

You mean like the one who wooed the left with promises of supporting a $15/hr minimum wage, then flipped and gave Republicans a vetoproof majority as soon as she was elected?
It's almost like policy promises don't matter in American politics because you can't be fired for lying to get elected.

since we're assuming this scenario there must exist a vetoproof majority*. we might as well make a list

•re/join all the treaties we've signed but not ratified, and left.
•remove or extend the statute of limitations on sedition

Yep.
1) Trump called for it after being humiliated
2) Trump signed an EO
3) Rs put forth a ban bill
4) Dems in the senate killed it
5) Rs then put that in an omnibus bill
6) It passed by vetoproof margins
"OhmygodBidenbannedTikTok!"

Almost 70%... vetoproof
Democrats have consistently outperform Republicans by 15% from the 2024 election. If that happens in the 2026 midterm, this will be the map.

They could get a vetoproof majority for not than that, but the GOP would have to decide they love America more than they hate Americans.

Biden isnt running, but a bunch of Dems who sabotaged his efforts to stop republican attacks on us by helping the GOP strip the trans kids of service members of their healthcare with a vetoproof majority are. Why do you support politicians who betrayed Biden in order to hurt children ?

weak mayor system means that council meetings will be a shitshow but he has a vetoproof majority against him

I would argue that 64 is even light, especially since 65 wasn't enough to reform SCOTUS under FDR.
Probably closer to vetoproof majority in both chambers - just to be safe.

There's now at least 100 GOP congressfolk in the house stating they will sign on. Let's see if they do, because that's a vetoproof majority baby. That would mean if the Senate passes it and the House passes it, Trump could have his veto of it overruled.

He made the correct choice in preventing the shutdown, but a BAD choice in not communicating with his caucus the real dangers behind allowing it.
Moat importantly - what would it have cost Democrats to REOPEN the government?
It'd needed to be a bill that was so GOP friendly it was vetoproof.

I think if you get to this point, there's enough of a backlash to get a vetoproof effort, including handling shennanigans with impoundment

I'm sure it's gotten worse - their supermajority functionally insulates them from criticism or consequences, which always emboldens hateful assholes. Seems weird that a state could elect a D governor and a vetoproof legislative R supermajority on the same ballot 🤔

This is gonna be American when it overthrows this regime, IF we decide to act. Congress certainly isn't doing shit, so I expect nothing from them. They'll do their performance bills which will have just enough votes, then will not pass with the majority needed to be vetoproof.

One of the things that it seems a lot of Americans forget is that the President actually doesn't get to decide what the legislation Congress passes looks like.
They only get to decide whether to sign or veto it, warts and all.
And in this case, Bush signing it was moot. It was vetoproof.

Now it’s vetoproof
JUST IN: The Senate unanimously agreed to pass the House-backed bill forcing the Justice Department to release its Epstein case files, as soon as it’s received from the chamber. https://cnn.it/4r7VtMA

Now it’s vetoproof
Update: There's now 100 GOP congressfolk who are willing to sign this thing.
That's vetoproof. Trump CANNOT veto it if the Senate passes it, and it's likely the Senate will - start calling Senators when this makes it through, DEMAND they sign on in VAST numbers. Make these files happen.

Do you think Democrats are winning a vetoproof majority in both houses? If not, then well someone has to try to run the country for the next 2 years
