Once more, laser focused on the important shit as our power and influence wains… apple.news/A8d0L76SDQQm...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

I really have to believe that there was a time in American history when we did not have people in Congress both this pathetic _and_ this _proud_ of being pathetic

Trump is a fucking disgrace. If anyone who voted for this guy can’t see through this bullshit, they have willfully ignored ethics or morals. Ethics and morals aren’t woke, they’re the backbone of the law. apple.news/AkNzLdbY9TI2...

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

Your regular reminder that the entire global economy is subject to the whipsaw whims of a person who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

This is why Trump said today that Massie should be voted out of office. This kind of honesty is not permitted in Donald Trump’s Republican Party.

Being an idiot used to be--for most folks anyway--a source of embarrassment. Now it seems, that in some circles it has become a badge of honor.

Just your daily budget reminder: the top .1% of earners in America making over $4,000,000/year will save $389,000 in taxes EVERY YEAR. Repubs think that 99.9% of the population can rest easy with the proposed $500,000,000,000 in Medicaid cuts. This bill is a fucking disaster.

I thought Congress was a separate branch of government with the power of the purse? Scared feckless and worthless Republicans are afraid of Trump and Musk funding opponents against them. This bill sucks. apple.news/AhKM-XnqiQK6...

The Trump admin/Congress are to blame 4 tariffs and this economic disaster of a spending bill. BORROWING MORE MONEY for tax cuts and offering decimated barely-there government services, cutting healthcare for millions, devaluing the dollar, slowing economic growth and lowering US credit rating.

apple.news/ArvLm23kRQVG... Defunding BARDA to go back to the ‘70s with a carcinogenic agent in the vaccine? This admin can’t accept progress Call your Congresspeople and Senators and tell them this is ass-backwards. COVID and emerging disease research are still needed as are new vaccine solutions.

Trump's budget plan includes a record $1 trillion in military spending. At the same time, he wants to cut $163 billion in housing, education, healthcare, climate, and labor programs to pay for tax cuts that will mostly go to the rich. "Fiscal responsibility."
