This president is spending money like a drunken sailor. $1 billion to retrofit the Trojan horse, $45 million on a parade fit for a dictator, largest tax cuts for the wealthy in history— and the party formerly known as the GOP, gives him a blank check.

We spend more on defense than the rest of the planet combined every year. What's the reasoning behind increasing their spending while cutting every social program in the country? Want to balance the budget quickly? Reign in defense spending and raise taxes on the ultra rich and their businesses

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight. www.npr.org/2025/05/22/n...

Watch and listen. Passionate and honest @replsimon.bsky.social lets the world know what is happening if this budget is passed. Unbelievable cruelty upon those who need it most. And after hearing this, those in the committee still voted yes. Do you think they'll go to the public to say why?

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder.

The horrendous bill that the House just passed 215-214 had better be subject to filibuster in the Senate. If Senators override their parliamentarian on this one, the harm will be incalculable both to all but the very rich and to the essential power of federal courts to enforce their judgments.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them. It’s going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

Sec. Noem oversees hundreds of thousands of employees across 10 agencies—many with the power to arrest citizens. She should understand what 'habeas corpus' means. The fact that she doesn’t is deeply concerning and raises serious questions: Does she know her job? Has she even read the Constitution?

Remember Senator Hawley voted against an emergency disaster relief bill that would have supported any state in crisis. And what happened next? He regretted the vote, but once again lied, denying he ever opposed it. Now Missouri needed disaster aid, he came begging for help.

We need to lower costs for Americans — including on prescription drugs. I just reintroduced the SMART Act with Senator Welch to lower prescription drug costs by accelerating Medicare’s ability to negotiate prices for more drugs on behalf of the American people.

Never mind, who's the Dems contender for 2028. Focus on who'll step up for 2026. If members of Congress (and us) don't step up to this challenge in 2026, 2028 won't matter.
