But you, as a journalist, have the power to direct our attn to existential threats to our democracy, both now and BEFORE this vote. DO it, damn it! And REPEAT ad nauseum, as the R's do so successfully.

This law hands the Executive Branch the funding for its own military, and we're focusing on somebody looking bad?
You said this is "the most regressive proposal in at least a generation?" IT FUNDED AN ENTIRE ARMY FOR THE PRESIDENT. That's WAY beyond "regressive."
!!!!!!
While we rightfully focus on Medicaid & SNAP cuts, this bill also gives Homeland Security & ICE over $160 BILLION.
For context: that's a larger budget than every single MILITARY in the world, except for the U.S.'s & China's.
All as they keep violating due process & refuse to answer to the people.
I watched as much as I could. The smiles on their faces...as they prepare to make the US a fascist police state.

3b. This creates a permission structure, a foundation of support, for them to do what they should do for democracy. Some R Congresspeople are not on board with T****, but they do not feel safe speaking against him yet. WE have the power to make them feel safe enough.

IMPORTANT! LISTEN!
Democracies collapse "when gradually, often quietly and methodically, over time, the structures that hold the Executive accountable--for corruption, for thievery, and for wrongdoing--are dismantled, so that citizens can no longer hold the Executive accountable."
Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. Theyβre sending human beings to a concentration camp.

States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.
And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.β
