Dear Republicans,
Your "one-size fits all" plans won't work because the US isn't a "one-size fits all" nation. Stop trying to drag us behind you and YOU level up to catch up to us. The Constitution protects individuals from consolidated power like MAGA. Read it until you understand it.
Mike Johnson would ban the Founding Fathers for supporting DEI. They put 13 DIVERSE colonies together to have EQUITABLE contributions to INCLUDE them to form the US. In fact, their original DEI project would grow by adding 37 diverse states with equitable contributions to the union.
No one ever asks any of them exactly what the alleged "waste, fraud, and abuse" is, what it entails, and how to excise it while still ensuring the systems and programs involved function efficiently.
“The Russian Federation has a centralized political system, with power concentrated in a president and a prime minister, a weak multiparty political system dominated by the ruling United Russia party, and a bicameral legislature (Federal Assembly)”.
MJ says adapt to new reality? NO TRUTH just lie, deceive, prevaricate, fib, kid, trick, fabricate, misrepresent, etc. Same interview he said Dems were paid and/or planted to disrupt not before claiming ‘paid protesters’ disrupted GOP town halls. Backtracked when asked for proof cuz never gives any!
Yeah that's poorly coded language for, "we're going to cut your medicaid and social security". They think everyone is as dumb as they are with that BS.
Really? So she let's him respond with a word salad with bullshit dressing and thats it? Shit didn't make any sense, that money is spent once it's approved one way or another so fuck it is dont care anymore I'm done its pointless
When the reporters and journalists started to fall, I was so happy to see this ladies face doing a great job. Make sure these people are protected from Trump.
That’s fine, Johnson can try to pass that but it will have to pass with only R votes. Dems will not vote for a CR with cuts to USAID and etc. good luck getting Massie, Roy and Co. to vote for a CR, Mike.
No Democrats should vote for a CR that is adjusted to reflect “the new realities.” Let the new reality be a shutdown unless appropriated funds are spent and lawfully established programs and agencies and departments continue to function.
Despite his hyper-sanctimonious attitude, Moses Mike pings my gaydar off into the red zone. Won't one brave sex worker come forward with the goods and send this dude back to some little backwater town where he can start a church and leave the rest of us alone?
They are so full of shit. Efficiency 🤣🤣🤣 what a bold faced lie. As they burn millions of our tax dollars at things like the super bowl... They are robbing us all, that's their only goal.
No Kaitlin, sure it will be in the bill we pass, but Elon can always just delete it again later. That's the way it works now. This bill is a simply a *suggestion* on a budget.
I find it hysterical that their response is always less government as they literally are trying to mandate federal restrictions for everything a woman does. While they try to control all rights of the LGBTQ+ community. What they’re saying is less government for white upper class Christian men.
He’s just a genuinely terrible person. He hides behind a polite tone and a fake moral high ground while pushing policies that hurt real people. Just another power hungry politician who values control and money over compassion. Will never be me.
He gets away with it because he is a Christian. This country treats Christians like they can do no wrong when most just use the title to get away with the most horrendous things.
Which is why I can’t listen to him. Folks think he’s honest because he’s a Christian. I hate how Christians are viewed in this country. They are treated like they can do no wrong. It’s utterly pathetic
Mike Johnson is afflicted with
“illusory superiority”, much like his boss and many of his comrades.
He also needs a punch 🥊 in the face to wipe that smirk off his mug.
Musk, Trump and Johnson keep mentioning efficiency, but never explain how it's more efficient. They are doing less, but that does not mean more efficient. Johnson also says "more return", but not elaborate on what he means. It looks like the government is cutting services that people count on.
NEWS FLASH: MuskRump doesn’t give a damn about #MAGA voters, members or enthusiasts. They will steal all of your #Medicaid, #SocialSecurity & #Medicare. Your benefits will go first because you live in Red districts. They know you will just roll over and take it. Unless you act up this is your fate.
I used to think she was courageous. In fact she’s every bit complicit with tv pundits that infest our media. Caitlin Collins has the chance to dunk on these liars every night but she trays these interviews like she’s at a cocktail party. Fck her, straight up.
Collins has grown on me. She’s an actual journalist who doesn’t just accept the bullshit and pushes back. She made Johnson look like the fool he is with her snarky ending.
More return for the taxpayer? Wtf he mean?First of all billionaires are not paying taxes. Second, everyday Americans who do pay taxes now are faced with less public funded resources in the form of programs that they actually depend on in order to live life,get by, stay healthy, stay safe, eat & etc
Weasel man Mike Johnson cannot be trusted in any way, shape, or form! Johnson is deeply connected to the MAGA cult and Fake Christian movement! He only serves to please King Trump and President Musk!
Right but she let him off the hook when he said “a better return for tax payers.” It’s not. Push. Ask “how is this a better return? Savings are marginal. Cutting subsidies to pharma and big oil would be immediate savings. But the tax payers losing their jobs don’t agree with you.”
Republicans don’t give a shit. They’ve been instructed to stop the town hall meetings due to all the pushback. This guy wants to come off as a friendly face, but he’s just as morally bankrupt as the rest of them.
AoC laid this one bare yesterday, they were instructed to ‘find’ 800 Bazillion dollars ‘of fraud’ NOT we’ve found 800 bazillion but they have to find it…..
Black women will help lead the way in fighting the Nazi fascism that has taken over America.
If you aren't prepared to fight with everything you have, to show up for #teslatakedown protests and in other real world ways to save our democracy, then get the fuck out of the way of those of us that are
Absolutely! Except it's not only black women who will help lead the way. I'm a white Jewish hippy woman originally from S. Florida when it was a blue state. I'm from the ERA times 😁 & been fighting for 50 years for equality for all folks! We can do this!
More effective than marches is blocking the entrances to GOP senators and representatives' offices. The elderly and the sick fighting back would make life hell for GOP Nazi's. Let people in wheelchairs and on stretchers block entrances to GOP offices and get arrested like they did for Obamacare
HELL YEAH!
1 of my medications has already been discontinued from being covered. When I finally get to the point where is medically unlivable? Put my ass in a wheelchair and parking it in front of a government office with a big ass sign saying something like you get to watch me die 🖕
I can’t listen to these people anymore. I realize that means I have no idea what the question is or the response but I am hoping someone could fill me in?
Great question, terrible answer by Johnson. He clearly doesn’t know what’s going on because he’s reacting to the gong-show of chaos and uncertainty that Trump is running the way everyone else is.
When he replies with answers we know are false. Ask him for facts...like 80% of Americans support this or the protestors were paid Democrats ... Put him on the spot ... Force him to answer fully , not side step ,and I think @kaitlancollins.bsky.social is fantastic!!!
...If the Trump tax cuts expire, the average taxpayer will have a 22% tax hike as well as their guaranteed deduction slashed in half, according to data from the House Ways and Means Committee. The child tax credit would also reduce from $2,000 per child to $1,000 per child.
They need to question exactly how the taxpayers are supposed to see more of their own money. Make them explain how they will see more and when is it coming.
It’s amazing how much senators have no opinion on public policy when comrade Trump is giving them stupid ideas but when President Biden or Obama has an presidential agenda, they’re screaming down the hallways with their hair on fire
Living in the UK in the 80s, the Tories used the same language republicans are using; cut fraud and waste. It was all cover for making the most radical cuts to programmes that lead people to food banks and poverty. Don’t fall their devious plan
#Trump #Musk #DOGE
The reality is more money for musk and other billionaires. Everyone wants waste, fraud and abuse dealt with but not this way. What musk is doing is illegal and with no accountability. He hasn’t shown any evidence of what he claims. Good people are being harmed by his lack of transparency.
NO, not about smaller govt when you try to dismantle entire agencies and illegally reallocate congressionally authorized funds. Everyone wants to reduce waste, fraud and abuse. Yet they fired the nonpartisan IGs in charge of this. For them, protecting people, our health and environment is “waste.”
Complete BS, they will gut to get the savings they need to pass a tax cut.
I think people are gonna be PISSED at what they have to cut, to bet to their goal dollar amount.

We have more options than I care to admit but for starters: Trump, Vance, MTG, Lauren B., Melania, Musk….
Matt Gaetz?

You are the Government, dumb f*ck!
They believe their only constituents are those who voted for them. It’s the message from the top of the party on down.
Mere Christianity doesn’t provide the same cover it used to:

More efficiencies.
No eggs.
Dead measles children.
No jobs.
No Medicare.
GOP is leading. NO YEARLY budget, projected $19 trillion debt and tax cuts.
Americans need to stop working and let their debt pay for itself. Works for Voo Doo economics 🤷♂️

God wants believers to be wealthy and healthy
Salvation includes liberation from poverty, sickness
Material and financial success is evidence of divine grace
And other BS that Jesus did not endorse
Christ almighty.

A formal alliance between Black women and Jewish women needs to happen. Both can greatly mutually benefit from each other.

About the new Gold Card…who is going to bank those dollars?
That is the question
Don’t believe his lies.
