I don't want to hear one fucking word criticizing House Democrats this evening. Every damned one of them voted against this piece of shit bill except for the one who's undergoing CANCER TREATMENT. Now it's time to tattoo this vote onto the foreheads of all 217 Republicans who voted for it.

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the expense of the middle class.

I'm going to stop working for the night, before I do: I need you to know that they haven't won yet. Tonight was bad, but they still have more votes they need to win before they cut Medicaid.

Alright friends, we're about to lose the vote on the budget resolution. We WILL keep fighting. This is the first vote they need to take, it is not the last. They will have to come back in a couple of months for another vote with firm numbers they're cutting SNAP and Medicaid and Medicare by.

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

Astounding that people didn't learn the last time that kissing trump's ass never results in anything but being crapped on.

WELP. They sent everyone home, and now they've just reopened the series and put the bill back on the floor. Members had left Capitol Hill for the night, now they are turning around and driving back, I've never seen this happen before in 10+ years working here

A couple of thoughts: - We already have a similar program, the EB-5 visa, but that requires investing $500k or 1 million in US businesses and creating jobs, not just buying in with cold hard cash. - Trump can't do anything like this without Congress. The president can't sell green cards. Period.

It’s hard to fathom how devastating this will be… At 6:00 pm, the House votes on a budget that guts Medicaid —ripping healthcare from low-income families, sick kids & seniors—all to fund tax cuts for the rich. Children will lose life-saving care so billionaires can hoard more.

We are just about at the point where a court orders the government do something & the government refuses to do it, which is practically what this amounts to. Either the courts find an effective mechanism to force compliance, or Trump steamrolls right over them.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

Donald Trump wants a big, beautiful budget bill—there is NOTHING beautiful about gutting Medicaid for seniors, children, people like me with disabilities and veterans.... Thank you Senator Jeff Merkley for speaking TRUTH TO POWER! We appreciate you.
