This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

Maga’s been running around telling folks they have a massive sweeping political mandate.
Last I checked, sweeping political mandates don’t involve begging the opposition for help to pass the agenda…
MAKE MAGA GOVERN!
And watch their house of cards collapse.
Is it a swing district?
I'll contact anyways, but just needed some clarification.
Also a template letter would be useful, cuz I'm not real smart.
*sigh*
Sorry.
Anyways, for any Bucs/ Rays/ Bolts fans here's her contact:

It still irks me they didn't vote you as committee lead.
Can you clone yourself, Jasmine , Bernie and Chris please?
White men cannot handle the pressure of their convoluted plans any longer.

That's part of what's so galling. Yes, billions of dollars of propaganda go a long way to explain it, but how evil and stupid do Americans have to be to fall for this dopes shtick? Again.
I wouldn't buy a hot tub or used car from that dope and think you must be an idiot if you would.
The media is-- of course-- a huge part of the problem. They love his click bait and Americans can't look away from the car wreck reality TV show.
My own mother is giddy with delight.
You need to understand that when a Obama became president, it affected her personally. She couldn't stand the thought of a black man being good enough to lead a nation.
She felt personally victimized.
A REAL news org would deliver the simple truth and only that, because nothing is more important to a democracy than a well-informed electorate, and the above FEARS that.
Keep adding to the list of reliable news sources: The Guardian , Reuters, The Tyee, The Tennessee Holler, who else?

They voted for hate.
Remind me when we learn about Nazism 🤨 don't bother because it's Middle school.
You don't get to be a victim when you willfully ignore the truth. We cannot continue to forgive fascism here. Nazis shouldn't get comfortable.
They can wear a new accessory and heil a new leader, but they're the same worthless cowards.
None of them were tricked.
They voted for hate.
Now they're finding out hate is expensive.
It's not mental illness.
It's stupidity and hate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_(philosophy)
And now, other countries are othering America, making it easier to look away from the horrors.
Easily spotted from a mile away.
They wanted to be conned.
The dems could cure cancer and solve world hunger and they'd still get shit on. There's no real way to re-bag the cats here.
Problem is, dem leadership is useless. They're a hindrance towards actually doing something.
They voted for hate and accepted the cost.
But even if that weren't true, these people are not fit to participate in democracy. Sorry!
That would be true on a planet that wasn't dying, too.
They view you as an existential threat that must be subdued at all costs. There is no solidarity until that division is mended, if it can be.
It is not mental health.
Notice how she offers no solution?
She knows how to actually cut medicaid spending by half, but won't say or do anything. Neither side will.
This isn't about parties. This is about corruption to the core. Every politician is complicit.
Don't get caught up in us vs them
We NEED you. You KNOW it. Please keep fighting the good fight. Time for a new generation of new ideas and thinkers.

What has he done to warrant giving more donations?
Talking?
Like if it weren't Bernie how would you feel about that? And regardless you need to do some self reflection about your answer. I wish you luck with that
Bernie is uniquely unqualified when he doesn't have a party that he supports to provide an option to counter the republicans, and the democrats do.
Will I praise the bare minimum?
No.
It's just a fact.
You're currently witnessing the status quo being destroyed, so don't cry, celebrating your rhetoric having achieved it's intended purpose.
And why isn't every dem flying for rallies? Because they vote
If he energized voters, how come those energized voters didnt energize themselves to come out and vote for him?
Where did they go?
You're stupid, and trying ro pretend you're smart by repeating dumb shit other people told you
Sway the minds of millions?
That's GREAT TO DO before the election. After the election it's just sort of empty.
I'm glad he's out there saying "this is bad" but we all already know this is bad.
Footage of Sanders "helping elect Trump" in 2016:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUE1cHe9GLY
Suck gop dick more, you bootlicking nazi scum.
Bernie called for a contested convention and waited till he realized how it would made him look, and realized how foolish his followers (like you) actually are.
Still, glad Bernie is actually taking advantage of Republican voter anger. That's definitely helpful!

You're a clown
Bernie would've beaten Trump in 2016, and we'd never have had this fascist nightmare.
Hillary lost because US is even more sexist than racist and because most Democrats are capitalists who offer little more to workers than Republicans.
For a Democrat to win EC, they need to hold blue wall states of MI, WI, and PA. Bernie won 2 open primaries in MI and WS and lost closed primary in PA.
Working class swing voters in these states supported Bernie > Trump > Hillary
But glad you're willing to just openly admit that most working class white people who were attracted to Bernie were also just trump supporters.
A bold claim, but not entirely wrong.
On what?
What are these positions?
Even Medicare for All isn't objectively better, it's literally just the LEAST popular form of single payer healthcare, adopted by virtually zero other countries because of how bad it is.
Hence why Sanders got fucking dogwalked
Imagine if YOU had cared about the REAL issues as much as they cared about their delusional ones.
You wouldn't be sitting here crying over Sanders two failed primaries a decade later...
Nice bro.
He went from claiming he could solve trade with tariffs to claiming its horrible to solve trade with tariffs. From claiming women's rights were just a distraction to blaming everyone else for women's rights being removed.
So maybe it's time for you to shut the fuck up.
It's like you got them from unreliable sources or something.

It's okay to admit that you're in a cult.
And that you obviously fucking suck at Google searches.
I am supporting swing state democratic party apparatus.
And it's literally YOU GUYS who said you wouldn't vote for anyone else, either Bernie or Trump, and Bernie didn't win his primary.
So your rhetoric is you saying "I refuse outright to learn any lesson when I can just elect fascists instead."
(this is sarcasm)
My biggest issue with Harris is I'm not a dem and I'm tired of modern dems. I want a third party.
I'm tired of modern dems because I don't like how many of them walk back our rights we fight so hard for.
As was Tulsi Gabbard, trumps current nation director of intelligence.
If you wanna talk about enabling, and defending sanders for it, look at the people he has platformed.
But extremely consistent on using the term oligarchy.
Bernies mid af, and mostly talk, zero action.
Maybe try running a full marathon instead of just quitting half way every fucking time.
Oh hey, the "we demand accountability for our elected officials" continue to demand that no one ELSE can call for accountability, and that said accountability can only be required of registered democrats.
No.
Go fuck yourself.
What you're too stupid and gullible to understand is that you're entire premise is that it's BAD that Clinton ran ads against other Republicans as well.
And you being a moron are mad at Clinton and not the republicans,always.
Because you fucking love covering for nazis.
By running ads pointing out how their claims represent the agenda of the republican party donors.
So you're saying we SHOULDNT be mad about republicans DOING it, just anyone who calls it out for what it is?
You ARENT mad about those republicans killing women, and removing civil rights
You're JUST mad that Clinton called them out.
Because you're a nazi too
So wait, you think it's BAD to correctly assert that the far fetched claims of "removing women's rights to their own bodies" actually represents the republican party as a platform? Because it does.
And you think it's BAD to ask that the media take their claims as seriously?
You moron.

They deliberately set it up this way.
a) everyone needs to know the GOP just endorsed $19 Trillion of new deficits
b) every single district should understand local $ cuts in Medicaid and SNAP.
Medicaid alone is more than $1,000 per recipient that’s gonna be pushed to counties and states.
Medicare will cut out tons of medical related Jobs in all fields, supplies, etc when the gov't contracts cancel. Hospitals etc
Food Stamps - all related services that support food stamps plus shop lifting will increase to feed kids
With the job cuts - homeless rate will sky rocket in 2-4 months depending on credit cards
Tele health will no longer be available or covered by insurance.
It’s a slippery slope.

Don't let this get you down. Keep pressuring them & encouraging others to do the same, regardless of party affiliation. These officials work for us & are well-paid and well-insured with our taxes.
Keep on fighting the good fight!
1. Get a map of the district w/zip codes
2. check Zillow or any realtor site for home listing in
that zip code, in case you need an address
3. dial *69 before you dial the representative -or- senator for that area pretending to be a resident.

They are breathtakingly disgusting excuses for human beings.
He controls the courts, both houses, the media and most of tech. Loyalists in the FBI and Military.
It ends like 1789 or it never ends.
Asking him nicely is not going to cut it.
We have Republicans with No Balls.
I say they will not give up without a fight.
but the “main problem”, 77 million mostly white
and Christian evangelical nationalists
& alt-right types,
“voters” from the rural red hinterland
are “responsible” for Trump’s deconstructing of the American way of life.
Also 77 million
Will own cuts to Medicaid & food stamps
It cuts MONEY, but not (as of yet) any particular thing.
The theory is that these numbers cannot be met without cutting things like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They have not actually been cut.
"When we fight, we win!"
She seems to have given up after one narrow defeat on November 5th, 2024.
America made their choice. A horrible one but it was a choice.
All that will happen is media will drag her some more, far right and left people will be cruel and nasty towards her…
What’s the point?
Heck, the asshole did not after a failed coup. Harris is not up to even that?
There are enough people with second thoughts.
Stop looking backward and start looking forward.
Just more platitudes about “the soul of the will of the nation of the dream of the people” empty rhetoric that she was so fond of using during the campaign.
And people are still fooled by it
It’s infuriating.

principle is the root of all organizational structure law, rule of order, negotiations.
principle is a non negotiable concept of the earth
honesty is observed in how a beaver cuts a tree, they do it because it is a necessary act.

US death tolls will definitely increase as will the spread of diseases when you eliminate that many people from healthcare services.
A shithole country - USA
Sadly there’s been very little movement from republican voters as they’re still in worship mode
Those were areas Trump was going to win. Trump over-performed by 5+% in 6 blue areas of PA while Harris underperformed. No way that was true
