The phrase for Democrats to hang around the necks of anybody voting for this, by the way, is "death panels."

Senator Chris Murphy:

"I think the American public are learning about the scale of this corruption, how our foreign policy is being turned over to billionaires like Elon Musk to help them financially...they are turning against this handover of government to the very few economic elites."

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Some people voted for trump.
Some people voted for Kamala.
Some people voted 3rd party.

But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security.

What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say โ€œcuntโ€ a lot

Tweet from the White House Press Secretary: โ€œThis is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. 

It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.

Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.

The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.โ€

Dear price of eggs Trump voters,

Not only arenโ€™t they any cheaper, thereโ€™s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu weโ€™re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down.

Bravo.
