They want to appeal to the SCOTUS they specifically built to rubber-stamp their march towards authoritarianism and facism.

That was about insurrection. This is about rights protection.

The GOP budget bill would cut up to $300 billion from SNAP over the next ten years.

42 million Americans get food assistance from SNAP.

This bill would make people go hungry.

Most of the people on Medicaid and SNAP who can work are *already* working.

Those who cannot โ€” people who are sick, caregivers, and those with disabilities โ€” will lose their health care because of Republican work requirements. www.rwjf.org/en/insights/...

WHAT'S IN THE GOP'S "BIG BEAUTIFUL' BUDGET BILL?

โ€ข Cuts to Medicaid that would leave 8.6 million people uninsured.

โ€ข Cuts $290 Billion from SNAP benefits. 62% of SNAP households have children that rely on the benefits. 20% of SNAP households have Veterans that rely on the benefits.

โ€ข Cuts around $350 billion for federal programs that help to make higher education more accessible and affordable.

โ€ข A $68,000 tax cut for millionaires, and a $300,000 tax cut for households in the top 0.1 percent while raising taxes or doing nothing for 33 million working-class households.

โ€ข Raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

This โ€œBig Beautiful Billโ€ is bullshit, but so on brand for Republicans.

Rule of law is โ€˜endangered,โ€™ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced โ€œad hominemโ€ criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

My Mom died of cancer.
My grandparents died of cancer.
My best friend died of cancer.

Many of YOU, Democrats and Republicans, have friends and loved ones who died of cancer.

Cutting cancer research is evil AF, and we should ALL agree on that. If we can't, we're cooked.

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.

But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? ๐Ÿงต

GOP Sen Thom Tillis says he won't support Ed Martinโ€™s nomination for U.S. Attorney in D.C., citing Martinโ€™s support for the J6 traitors.

If you took part in the J6 attack & went to jail, you were an insurrectionist not a hostage.

Trumpโ€™s use of the Alien Enemies Act is ruled unconstitutional by a Trump appointed judge in Texas!

A Trump appointed judge.
In. Texas.

Judge Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, rules that the administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of TdA. Itโ€™s a wartime authority & we are not at war, he holds. On to the 5th Circuit & SCOTUS.

Trump administration discontinues $1 billion in school mental health grants The Trump administration will not renew grants worth $1 billion that were aimed at boosting mental health services in schools, a Department of Education official said.

GOP: improving mental health is the only way to fix the gun violence epidemic

Also GOP: let's gut mental health programs

There are rules that are made to protect society at large and there are rules that are made to control society at large - and, yeah, most of us know the differenceโ€ฆbut, then, most of us forget about (or ignore) the rules that are made to fuck the smallest parts of society for the duration.

I believe that the orange turd is the biggest assholian dooshbagg, in the history of assholian dooshbaggery. The lower 2/3rds of his strange looking body, will spend eternity chest deep in his own waste, just a little south of Hades, in the sauna of woe. Deservedly so.
