Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

It's not like it's hard to go after these guys, they're all comically corrupt. You could probably shut down half of right-wing media by just enforcing laws already on the books.

Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them.

As if that weren’t horrific enoughβ€”some so-called β€œChristians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.

What the hell have we become?

The Big Ugly Bill would have zero support if the 38% would stop buying the lie that the only people who are going to lose Medicaid are undocumented immigrants!

πŸ“Œ The idea that undocumented immigrants are draining Medicaid is a political talking point, not a fact.

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media.

And yes, it is going to get much worse.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: β€œIf you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?”

🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scramblingβ€”and we’re heading into peak storm season.

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care.

I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out.

Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
Β 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Why would morale be great when you are supposed to be anti American, anti people, and pro discrimination of anyone nonwhite? To be against the very people your are supposed to protect and serve?

Huge shoutout to the bi-partisan group of 35 State Legislators here in CA who signed on to a letter to Congress in OPPOSITION to the 10 Year State AI Regulations Ban. Hopefully other states are doing something similar. #NoStateAIRegulationsBan
