These legislators should be forced to vote on each Commandment separately—not an omnibus package—& no one should be allowed to vote for a Commandment they've violated lest they violate the Third Commandment. Or: they should respect the Establishment Clause & get back to work.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

The GOP "Big Beautiful" budget achieved its goal: tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. How did they afford it? By slashing benefits, gutting social programs, and raising taxes on the working class. Call (202) 224-3121 to tell your Rep this bill is bullshit.

If Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured. Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

This is what oligarchy is about. While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption. The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth. He said they weren’t cutting critical research. Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis. Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects. This guy doesn’t care about health.

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.
