This is the R’s budget and they're going to own it. They're trying to cut Medicaid funding. They're trying to cut SNAP benefits. They're trying to take out all the programs that support working families across this country. That's the reality. All of this just to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

1/3. It should be astonishing, though it’s not, that the American negotiators want to begin from the premise that Russia was right and that Ukraine is not sovereign. Accepting the lies of the aggressor isn’t just unethical, it’s also unstrategic.

This is an attack on Medicaid, and anyone who votes on this budget this week is voting to cut Medicaid in America, and voting to gut healthcare for Medicare recipients in America. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

As plane crashes are happening on a near-daily basis, Elon Musk now appears to be saying he wants to interfere with flight paths because he thinks he knows better than pilots. What could go wrong 🤷‍♂️

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

Vital services and protections for everyday Americans are being gutted thanks to DOGE. And this is happening in exchange for renewing one of the biggest tax cuts in American history that will predominantly benefit people like...you guessed it...Elon Musk. See the problem here?

Of course, if Amy Gleason is the administrator of DOGE, as my colleagues and others have now confirmed, the questions now are when she was named and whether she has actual authority or is a conduit for Musk. DOJ lawyers couldn't answer either question in court yesterday.

Carpet bombing the federal government is about more than just justifying tax cuts for the wealthy. It is also about flooding the labor market with supply to keep private payrolls down. Go do something more productive means go make someone else a fortune for less pay.
