As if that werenβt horrific enoughβsome so-called βChristiansβ are cheering it on like itβs some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.
What the hell have we become?
Wow. The Senate was just interrupted by someone screaming: "You people are awful."
This is so needed.
Democrats cut child poverty nearly in half by expanding the Child Tax Credit.
Republicansβ Big, Beautiful Bill denies 22 million low-income kids the full benefits they deserveβwhile also robbing 16 million kids of their free school lunches.
It's billionaires before kids.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

In today's edition of we f*cking told you so...
The GOPβs latest budget proposal does not cut the deficit.
The plan would add TRILLIONS to the deficit by 2034, locking in tax cuts for the wealthy while slashing Medicaid and nutrition assistance.

There's a lot going on in the world at the moment... and how's the Senate spending its time?
We're voting on Jared Kushnerβs dad (a convicted felon who Trump pardoned) to be Ambassador to France, sending a billionaire convicted felon (and relative) to serve as a top diplomat.
This is my shocked face that Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.
To fund Trumpβs expiring tax cuts for the wealthy, the GOP is proposing a massive $715 billion cut to Medicaid. Theyβre calling it reform, but make no mistake: itβs just another transfer of wealth from those who have the least to those who have the most.
