I posted a copy of the 3 minute version of my speech from yesterday (with citations) if anyone is interested. Feel free to steal from it if you want! (also, this is literally less than half of the Nazi shit they're currently pulling)

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

DOGE eliminated 430 positions at the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), which supplies ~75% of the PNW's power. It’s the spine of the PNW power grid. BPA is ratepayer funded, so cuts will have minimal taxpayer savings but major consequences to reliable power service in the PNW.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!
