Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a β€œshow of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

Maybe. Maybe not. I’m pretty convinced now that Trump isn’t the disease, but the symptom. The real disease are the tens of millions of racist, misogynist, bigoted dumbfounded dipshits that voted for him. They were always there, I think,Trump just called them from the shadows.

1. Trump's megabill will slash nutrition assistance for poor families, cause 17 million people to lose their health insurance, and add over $3 trillion to the deficit -- all to finance tax cuts for the rich.

IN THIS THREAD, I WILL LIST THE COMPANIES THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED THIS BILL.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

This is Nick Begich (R-Alaska). If he votes for the bill,
37,000 of his constituents lose access to their healthcare.
27,000 of his constituents lose access to their food assistance.
578 energy jobs in his district will disappear.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Trump trying to reign in the rapid Republicans from cutting Medicaid a bit *too* much reminds me of Stalins purges in β€˜37 and β€˜38, when he spoke at Central Committee plena warning Party officials to maybe slow it down a bit.

β€œICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is

Senate Bill Would Add at Least $3.3 Trillion to Debt, Budget Office Says A new analysis showing the legislation would be far more expensive than the House version could complicate its chances of final passage in that chamber, where fiscal hawks have said the cost must not grow.

Breaking News: The sprawling tax and health care bill that Senate Republicans are trying to pass would add at least $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade, the Congressional Budget Office estimated.
