This is gonna go away real quick suddenly, now that the shooter's profile resembles a median DOGE staffer rather than an annoying college activist

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

MAGA Republican's laughing, clapping, and celebrating after cutting Medicare by $500 billion, stripping health care from over 13 million people and eliminating food security programs for over 4 million children in the middle of the night. #3E #StopTheBillionaireBailout

This atrocity of a budget bill passed the House 215-214, with all Democrats and two Republicans - Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio - voting against it.

Well this is a bit depressing. It’s getting harder and harder to make a living and it worries me. Please have a look and repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

I doubt this was the plan, but if you wanted to get "MAGA Murder Budget" trending on BlueSky, I'm not sure you could do a better job than this screenshot.

Listen, I'm a healthcare lawyer, and I have the leg text open in front of me: The Manager's Amendment to the House GOP Budget Reconciliation bill that's about to move from Rules Committee to the floor bans medicaid for paying for gender affirming care 1/

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

If you're going to call your Representative, if you're going to ask anyone else in your network to call their Representative, you have to do it now. We expect a floor vote relatively soon — we're down to the final few hours.

Testing people’s immediate reaction to weird, twisting passages like this is an empirically insane way to gauge message effectiveness. The consultants who push this stuff on Democrats are running a massive grift. And they aren’t even producing effective alternative messages!

Democrats wouldn’t blow up the filibuster to pass a voting rights bill, but Republicans will do it to pollute California.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

FULL DISCLOSURE, MAGA Murder Budget is the messaging that I suggested and while I wanted to just ignore this new testing, now that it's out there, feels like I gotta wade in. Here goes - adventures in everything wrong with Dem message testing, a case study. /1

So when next we tell you that it's a terrible idea to fire your writers and editors and either a) hire some of them back as "assistants" to clean up LLM generated "AI" slop or b) just wholly rely on content mills which do the same, i want you to remember what's happening to the Chicago Sun-Times.

not American, can't vote, but it seems really weird that the Democratic Party isn't just throwing its funding and resources at AOC and supporting her and her ideas—as well as just dumping money into local news organizations—rather than spending millions on a search for a "Joe Rogan for the left"

This is the guy the Dems picked over AOC.

"This tax bill's enormity is being underplayed ... [It] will cost more than the 2017 tax cuts, the pandemic CARES Act, Biden's stimulus, and the Inflation Reduction Act combined," Jessica Riedl, a budget specialist at the conservative Manhattan Institute, told Yahoo Finance.

The liberal insistence that Trump et al are just “stupid” and not deliberate in their choice of words and policies is absolutely infuriating. If they’re just “stupid” and you can’t beat them, then what are you? They’re intentional. They’re brutal. They’re organized. And they’re genuinely dangerous.

🔥 WATCH: “They won’t even read their own bill!” Rep. Leger-Fernandez (D) shames Rep. Jason Smith (R) for refusing to read a part of the Republican bill that gives a tax break for TANNING BEDS while slashing trillions in health care for seniors and the poor. 🤔 #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

I just left a comment. If you are concerned that RFK Jr.'s FDA chief Marty Makary is limiting the Novavax COVID booster to those over 65 or with underlying conditions, and may do the same for Pfizer/Moderna as well, consider leaving a comment as well.

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.
