Thread: Senate Republicans have unveiled the bill language (section 71401 on page 739) for their "rural health transformation" fund which will supposedly help rural hospitals survive the bill's draconian #Medicaid cuts. Here's my take on the details (1/x): www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Miami officials voted to cancel November's elections & move city elections to even-number years. That by itself would be good due to higher turnout, but unilaterally extending their own terms is a power grab. State officials argue it's illegal since changing the city charter requires voter approval

If Joe Biden had sent a bunch of masked goons to kidnap and deport persecuted Christians who had fled to America for religious freedom, I'm pretty sure Mike Johnson's head would explode Scanners-style.

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

Also, this ultimately helps Mamdani politically. Not that I welcome this sort of rhetoric, it but it’s just the reality of the situation that it will help him.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.
