We know how bad the Big Ugly Bill is. It gets worse. Today we begin markups for the Republican '26 budget, starting w/ their awful MilCon-VA bill. 🚨 Resilience funding for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard? Gone. 🚨 80K VA jobs? Cut. 🚨 Women veterans’ rights? Stripped. 🚨 Healthy food for patients? Nope!

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

If you want to torture yourself you can read the transcript of Biden’s speech from last years West Point commencement ceremony. Lots of applause and laughter, no trophy wives and yachts. He stuck around and shook the hands of all 1,036 graduates too. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...
