Genuinely glad Russell Vought’s daughter got the NIH-backed medicine she needed. ❤️‍🩹 Now he’s trying to defund the very programs that made it possible—for everyone else. 🙃💉 Life-saving science for me, austerity for thee. Cool plan, Volde-Vought.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Since the a Qatar Royal Family member helped KSM escape US arrest in 1996 and he went on to plan 9/11 and since United Airlines and American Airlines each lost two planes in the attack, we “could” sell the Qatar 747 and give each airline an equal half of the sale. Partial Remediation.
