We just gave Senate Republicans a chance to backtrack on their insane $1 TRILLION cuts to Medicaid. Every single one of them voted no.   They are hell bent on cutting health care to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Unbelievable.

Every single Democrat voted against Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and are literally fighting it as we speak. Maybe 3 assholes said stupid shit about Mamdani. That’s not “the party” or “the establishment” but leftists are hooked on that persecution teat like a common evangelical.

it’s absolutely insane that there does not appear to be a single republican senator who has given even 30 seconds of thought to what pulling a trillion dollars of spending out of one of the fastest growing sectors in the entire economy is going to do to that economy

Listen carefully: one cannot not vote for the only option actually viable to defeat fascists and pretend to give a fuck about fascism.

POO to stop deficits fails For the 1st time, reconciliation’ll be used to enact huge permanent deficits, in violation of the Byrd rule The method was the presiding officer asserting there was no point of order, w/out consulting the parls, to pretend Rs weren’t ignoring her No going back from this

Rs moved forward on the big, ugly bill to rip healthcare coverage from 17M people, deprive millions of food assistance, and use that money to pay (only partially!) for gigantic tax cuts for the super-rich. Senate Rs want to cut more than $1 trillion from Medicaid. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Descartes gave us all the tools we need to survive in an era of misinformation. Simply begin with the understanding that you are real but everything else is fairly likely to be the cruel games of a demon sent to torment you specifically.

You don’t need to put stock in academic-style research to grasp what Medicaid has meant to individuals and their communities in recent years—and what its absence could do to those individuals and communities now. @citizencohn.bsky.social on what Medicaid cuts mean: www.thebulwark.com/p/medicaid-c...

One of the things I continually scream into the void is that you can be 100% right and it doesn't matter if you can't get 50%+1 members of the populace to agree with you.

Should note that after he said this in his floor speech yesterday Tillis made a point of telling Hill press that he is "not trying to undermine" Senate MAGA leadership But oh baby did he ever let loose ..

IT’S FUCKING CHESS What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

Or, people could galvanize in support of the Democrats. To ensure they are voted in a majority in Congress. So Hakeem Jeffries could have the weapons (votes) to stop this. Of course all this depends on if you really want to save democracy or just bitch about Hakeem. 😒

i'm sort of struck by johnson and thune having more or less the same theory of leadership, which is that they can lead from the back and never make any hard decisions and it will never have any negative consequences for them or their caucuses

Mamdani is fine. McBride is fine. Jeffries is fine. Schumer is fine. Republicans are dicks. Get on my level

This is a fraud on the American people that would make even the Enron scammers blush. Senate Republicans are violating the rules to hide the cost of their plan and bankrupt the country — all to give tax cuts to billionaires.
