It seems like House Republicans sneaked a provision to weaken the courts in their budget bill.

This breaks reconciliation rules, but not like anything matters anymore.

Tucked deep in the thousand-plus pages of the GOP’s multitrillion-dollar budget bill is a paragraph curtailing a court’s greatest tool for forcing the government to obey its rulings: the power to enforce contempt findings. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-c...

Neither @gtconway.bsky.social nor I said what my opponent claimed, and I was not having it! And I said so.

Strange to be so … strident??…. when the actual video is right there.

One nun’s angst: More hunger, less food, looming Trump cuts Trump administration budget cuts have triggered alarm in the sprawling network of aid groups, many religious, that provide free or very low-cost food to millions of struggling Americans.

"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..."

House Republicans switched from seniority to loyalty back in the Gingrich Era

It was, in fact, the most imp β€œreform” that turned the House GOP into MAGA nuts.

Party loyalty over seniority creates problems. That said, we should prioritize members that are media savvy.

Donald Trump is trying to snap his fingers and take food away from 40 million Americans.

Elon Musk and DOGE’s Savings May Be Erased by New Costs An expert on the federal work force estimates that the speed and chaos of Mr. Musk’s cuts to the bureaucracy will cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year.

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year."

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

- Stand with Ukraine
- Secure veterans' health care

They're stealing from the working class, giving to the rich, and destroying your benefits in the process.

And the night is still young.
