This budget bill will kill more Americans than every terrorist attack combined. They want our lives and our money. Adjust your withholdings. Starve the beast. Take more home each week. Keep it out of their hands. Repost if you get it. 1/2

Bernie Sanders: “It is obscene to give tax breaks to the top 1% by throwing more than 16 million people off health care, cutting nutrition for hungry kids and making it harder for working class young people to go to college. That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.”

Senate Republicans have quietly inserted provisions in President Trump’s domestic policy bill that would not only end federal support for wind and solar energy but would impose an entirely new tax on future projects, a move that industry groups say could devastate the renewable power industry.

Our intelligence confirms this - we have intercepts of high level Iranian officials who are surprised that damage at the nuclear facilities wasn’t worse. Trump is going to refuse to admit the truth, which increases the chances that Iran is able to reconstitute their program.

If “current policy” becomes the norm in reconciliation, one (very) hypothetical example of how Democrats could wield it: Pass a $10 trillion Medicare For All bill for 1 yr at a $1T sticker price & extend it permanently the next year at a $0 cost. All without nuking the filibuster.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local. It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe. Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

I think it’s a great idea for Republicans to nominate Lara Trump for the open NC senate seat. Just like it was a great idea to nominate Herschel Walker, Dr. Oz, Kelly Loeffler, Kari Lake, Joe Kent, Scott Brown, Mark Robinson, Doug Mastriano, Winsome Sears, Tudor Dixon, on and on.

Amazingly, some news organizations are still using the term "fiscal hawk" to describe Republicans who are professing concern about the Trump bill adding $3.3 trillion to the debt. If those Republicans vote for the bill in the end, at that point can we stop calling them that?
