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.

Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

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.

Its just fascinating to me that Medicaid fraud is treated like its SNAP fraud or benefits fraud when its one of the few welfare cases in which the person doesn't receive the cash from the government, the -provider- does, but all of the cuts are -patient- centric

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018% But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%. "Efficiency."

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.
