This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

How long before you GOP members of Congress realize that Trump is not your ally? He only engineered your elections so you would stand idly by while he makes you irrelevant.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk. His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30. Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

On her show just now, Rachel Maddow said of Joy Reid's show being cancelled: "I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door." She adds it is "unnerving" to see the network's decision to cancel shows hosted by nonwhite anchors: "That feels indefensible."

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

We are going to have to fight like hell to refuse the privatization of public services. It is true they are gutting essential services, like the FAA and Air Traffic Control, so they can later claim they do not work and then privatize them. Similarly the USPS. This is one of our jobs. SAY NO.

While Elon Musk is parading around DC causing tens of thousands of hard working Americans to lose their jobs in the name of “cutting wasteful spending,” Trump is being driven around the Daytona 500. This costs millions to do. Sounds like wasteful spending to me.

📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base. 📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

This idea that folks who receive benefits don’t work has been disproven repeatedly, for YEARS! Most recipients of benefits are UNDEREMPLOYED. If employers were forced to pay living wages across the board we wouldn’t have half the problems we have in this country.

Trump hasn't done a lick to address rising grocery costs despite campaigning to bring them down on "day one." And his CDC deleted reports on the spread of bird flu, which is driving up egg prices. But don't worry, he just promised an executive order to bring back plastic straws.

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work. This is a coup against the American people.
