Laughing. In front of a cage, under a tent, in the middle of a swamp, surrounded by alligators-where they plan to hold HUMAN BEINGS whose only crime was crossing a border in search of a better life for their family. These are the darkest of days. If you look at this picture and feel joy, may God have mercy on your soul. -Sara McGee

These are vile, soulless people. I hope hell is real so they can rot in it for all eternity.

If Black white supremacist Clarence Thomas and gay anti-gay crusader Peter Thiel had lived in Nazi Germany, Hitler would have made them honorary Aryans.

And then gassed them.

CBO Score Shows Senate OBBBA Adds Over $3.9 Trillion to Debt | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget 2025-06-28-The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) just published their “current policy” score of the Senate reconciliation bill, showing the bill would add a

As the Senate rushes in to vote on the budget bill, the Congressional Budget Office has weighed in. Not only would the cuts directly hurt people, but even the decimation of the safety net and programs to help citizens won’t offset the trillions gifted to the rich.

Many healthcare providers in Louisiana are owned by private equity firms

They should threaten to fund primaries against every single Louisiana Representative who votes for this monstrosity

An appeal to their humanity won’t work

Money and power is the only language these bastards understand

ICE is doing exactly what we thought they would. The BBB gives them more money to do more terrible stuff

NASA is being told to cancel 19 *active* missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE *hiring/retention* budget going forward.

I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

Like 99% of white ppl failed to read even 1 of the dozens of Project 2025 summaries.

If y’all HAD read these, you’d be witnessing introduction of these horrific practices

THEN constantly noting your frustration about having read ALLL about them before they happened (like I do).

Haven’t seen this.

A black box “automatic citizenship checker,” brought to you by the guys who deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia “by accident.”

BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.

Of course these grifters were at Bezos wedding.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local.

It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe.

Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

GOP Declares Tax-Cut Extensions ‘Free’ to Obscure Megabill’s Cost Senate Republicans are deploying an unprecedented maneuver to continue 2017 tax cuts as budget experts and Democrats cry foul.

It’s important to respect the traditions of the filibuster. Unless you want to extend taxes cuts for the wealthy. Then anything goes.

How can they do this?
Republicans are using accounting gimmicks, like artificial phaseouts and unrealistic revenue projections, to make their $3.3 trillion tax cut package appear deficit-neutral on paper, even though the real long-term cost would balloon the deficit.

Nothing like a little “creative accounting” to push a $3.3 trillion tax cut for the rich. Republicans are using an accounting gimmick to make it look like their tax plan doesn’t add to the deficit. Can’t pass it honestly? Just cook the books.
