We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Is anyone even remotely surprised that Puppet Trump is trying to take from Medicaid? They say they don’t have money for you to see a doctor, but they magically have $4 trillion to pass the largest billionaire welfare scheme in history. You go without while they get richer. THE GREAT AMERICAN SCAM!

At the very least keep harping on the fact that Trump fired the people who were finding fraud in his COVID programs, to the tune of $100s of Billions. And DOGE's receipts page is near-fraudulent itself.

Elon Musk has cut federal cancer research & food for starving children, but hasn’t touched his own $15 billion in federal contracts. He will get richer and Americans will pay for it. Follow the money:

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
