THE โ€œTALKING FILIBUSTER.โ€ PART 2 of 2 ๐Ÿงต

PART 1 here:
Since around 2010, the minority has essentially filibsutered everything. Then they either negotiate to a UC agreement, or force the majority to try to get to 60 votes for clotureย  to end debate. Almost nothing passes anymore by majority, without a UC agreement.
But it still can! If debate ends naturally or you can break a talking filibuster, you can still pass legislation with less than 60 votes. Has always been true.

I voted against the rule to bring this omnibus forward for a vote.

Here is a breakdown of some of the most ridiculous items included in the omnibus, and some America First items that were not. I offered amendments to correct these errorsโ€”all of which were blocked or refused๐Ÿงต:
$5 BILLION+ to provide cash benefits, health care, daycare, and job programs to refugees on the taxpayers' dime. Image
$315 million to fund the CIAโ€™s branch of the State Department that propagandizes and destabilizes the globe and has a particular interest in censorship and attacking conservative media outlets. Image

@CanadianPM 1/16 Mr. Carney, you should be PROUD of your people, who possess good moral character and integrity. As our ally your country has come to our aid time and time again, from supporting us in Afghanistan to coming to our aid during natural disasters. Your country lost Canada Cares For U.S. Immigrants Too...
2/16 NUMEROUS brave, courageous men and women during the Afghanistan war in support of our country. This is why it is INFURIATING that Donald Trump would have the AUDACITY to state that our allies "stood back from the front lines and let OUR soldiers do the fighting", which was a
3/16 complete load of BULLSHIT. I lived with Canadians for 6 months, and I found them to be decent, caring, brave, courageous and friendly people who would NOT have done ANY such thing. I know I speak for MILLIONS of Americans who say THANK YOU for supporting us, and as a soldier

Here's a quick thread on just one of many examples of how the White House is twisting statistics to make a rosy case for Trumpโ€™s tariffs.
President Trump, while touting his tariffs, claimed in his Davos speech last month, โ€œFactory construction is up by 41%.โ€ But The Wall Street Journal and others noted that spending on factory construction is actually *down* this year compared to last year, and has fallen steadily month after month: wsj.com/livecoverage/sโ€ฆImage
Hereโ€™s the federal data. It shows spending on manufacturing construction rising in 2021 under Biden, spiking in 2022 and 2023 under Biden, leveling off under Biden in 2024, and then falling month after month under Trump in 2025. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TLMFGCOโ€ฆImage

I'm making a very serious point here. The way natural ecosystems and biodiversity, support our societies and economies, has never been systematically studied, despite us destroying the natural systems our lives depend on, and no one is the slightest bit interested in that?
1/3
Very few people, almost no one, is aware of what I'm saying here. Most people, including most scientists, wrongly assume somewhere it's known, how natural ecosystems and biodiversity sustain us. That there is expertise in this. But where is it? The cat got your tongue?
2/3
In my lifetime of investigating this, the only people I've come across who truly understand the total unsustainability of our modern systems, and how natural ecosystems and biodiversity sustain us, are indigenous cultures. Our culture seems free of this insight.

I joined an ICE watch training held by Defend the 612 organizers in Minneapolis on January 8, before they began taking additional steps to conceal their identities and activities.

In the training, organizers described their goal as impeding ICE operations. They downplayed risks, delegitimized law enforcement, and encouraged participants to take risks. ๐ŸงตImage
Defend the 612 used Renee Goodโ€™s death as a recruitment opportunity. On the evening of January 7, they advertised an โ€œemergency vigilโ€ for Good, where fliers were distributed directing attendees to sign up for ICE watch on their website. Image
Image
This recruitment appeared to work. Andrew Fahlstrom, who led the January 8 training, is a longtime activist with the tenant organizing group Inquilinx Unidx Por Justicia (IX) and treasurer of Sky Without Limits.

He said the group had gained 1,000 new signups and stated that the purpose of the meeting was to โ€œgrow the number of people on the streets.โ€

Andrew Huberman just dropped a 2โ€‘hour masterclass on cortisol โ€” your bodyโ€™s main stress hormone.

High cortisol = burnout, faster aging, weight gain, memory loss, heart disease, Alzheimerโ€™s.

Hereโ€™s a 7โ€‘step protocol to fix your cortisol (backed by science):๐Ÿงต Image
Image
Step 1: Understand cortisol

Cortisol isnโ€™t โ€œbad.โ€

You need it to wake up, think clearly, and respond to challenges.

The problem is:
โ€ข Too much
โ€ข At the wrong time
โ€ข For too long

Thatโ€™s the chronic stress pattern that quietly wrecks your health.
Step 2: Learn the rhythm

Healthy cortisol has a daily curve:
โ€ข High in the morning
โ€ข Gradually drops through the day
โ€ข Low at night so you can sleep

When your rhythm flips (low in the morning, high at night), you feel wired, exhausted, and canโ€™t switch off.

Anyone CAN and people do and have done. Slavery, especially the trans-Atlantic slave trade, was done by humans. The Holocaust was committed by humans. The mass rape camps in Bosnia were committed by human beings. The massacres of Palestinian children were committed by humans!
You people want to believe that some other-worldly evil entity exists that makes human beings corrupt and evil and capable of countless atrocities so that you can make yourselves feel better about the fact it is your fellow humans committing these atrocities.
Jeffery Epstein & Co. are not some demons, monsters, and satanic creatures. They were and are human beings. The sole difference between you and them is the power that they held. The fact is that there are many of you that are just as capable of committing atrocities.
