Republicans are cutting healthcare, food and housing assistance, and mass-firing federal workers just to give these guys more massive tax breaks. And people thought Republicans cared about the price of eggs. They played you.

Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

Republicans just voted to take your money and give it to billionaires. It’s not enough that House Republicans are enabling Trump and Elon Musk’s outrageous power grab. Now they’re selling out everyday Americans so that Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies can get even richer.
