Why do Republicans hate everyday Americans?

The GOP is hellbent on destroying every norm, breaking every rule. All in service of owning the libs. It’s absolutely maddening.

We could cut a $10k check to public school teachers every year for 10 years for $320bil fix every road & bridge needing repairs for $800bil end child poverty for a decade for $2.2tril It’d still be $1.5tril cheaper than the Republicans tax cut bill.

1/3 I wrote about this 5 days ago. This is their plan. All you have to do to see where they’re going and see what they’re doing in GOP states. They use ALEC to testing out and then they deploy nationwide. Gift article in 3rd tweet. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

The House-passed bill has the toughest GOP-backed work rules yet - stricter reporting, harder re-enrollment and broader reach, including older recipients. Its rigid new work requirements could make Medicaid as inaccessible as larger cuts Republicans rejected. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

A move clearly not driven by any legal government purpose. This is viewpoint discrimination in violation of the 1st Amendment's free speech clause. Government punishment taken simply because the target is not politically obsequious enough to Donald Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

This is the worst & most concerning part of this bill. He’s already gone completely rogue. This ensures that he won’t be held to account for violating orders from the courts. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?! Call your senators!!! #RedistanceUnited #ProudBlue #OneV1

The GOP held a hearing on their unfinished thousand-page bill at 1:00 AM. Now they’re getting ready to hold the final vote on the largest destruction of health care in American history in the dead of night.

Trump is hosting a private dinner tonight for the people who spent the most money to bribe him through his meme coin, while Republicans push his budget that guts Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires like him more tax breaks. Republicans call this “America First.”

The GOP not only sold out regular Americans in this shitty bill, they relinquished their own power and responsibilities to a deranged, aged wannabe dictator. Bravo, republicans. Thanks for failing in your duty to the constitution. YOU, along with your dear leader, are true domestic enemies. #MomSky

Tell your Senators- OPPOSE THE GENIUS STABLECOIN BILL! Although it passed cloture last night, it could still fail. It does not rein in Trump's corrupt crypto activities and does not do enough to prevent activities like money laundering. resist.bot/petitions/PN...

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

📌QUESTION: Why doesn't the fucking press make more of the fact that Trump is completely incapable of getting any kind of meaningful legislation passed? He leans on EOs because he is a polarizing asshole who can't build consensus. He's not a "deal-maker" he is a constipated, ineffective wannabe king.

Trump is trying to make it easier to fire statisticians if their numbers don’t fit his story. That’s a huge threat to trust in our economic data and the people who work hard to keep it honest. This kind of move could mess with how we understand the economy big time.
