Rep. Massie, the lone Republican NO, says the Republican budget will add $20 trillion to the debt over 10 years. They don’t care about the debt and never did. This was all a dance to get their trillions in tax cuts for the rich. (Again) Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGheJx1...

One of the ways the GOP is proposing to “make revenue” to help them offset their tax cuts for the billionaires is to cut down more public forests and dig up more coal! America is about to stop having blue skies and be a smog haven.

House votes 217-215 to approve Republicans' budget resolution, which now goes to the Senate. Republicans in that chamber will need to adopt the budget res to unlock the reconciliation process the GOP plans to use to address border security, defense, energy and tax.

RED STATES: Remember this when you’re on your own… Trump said: “If it was up to me … I’d end (FEMA) right now.” He wants your state to handle disasters alone—no federal help.

FACT: Felon Trump has been in office for nearly a month, & Congress for six weeks. Inflation is rising, & Americans are struggling with skyrocketing costs. Instead of solutions, Republicans are pushing tax scams for the wealthy while working families pay the price. We see it. We won’t forget.

"The administration's stance is that by electing him president, the country gave Trump total authority to do anything he’d like. But that justification renders Congress superfluous. Why go through the charade of making policy and negotiating budgets if POTUS can just ignore laws when he wants to?"
