If this β€œbudget” bill passes, I am one of the people who will lose access to life-saving medication and medical care.

America is dying and the GOP is fueling the flames at record speed. Cruelty is the point. Death is the point. That’s their goals.

If you have not called your reps yet… why not?

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year.

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich.

Thread on the next steps of the process.

The GOP Tax Scheme represents the largest wealth transfer from the poor to the rich in American history.

Speaker Pro Tempore: You are to direct your comments to the chair.

Jeffries: You know what's interesting? Every time I come on this floor, I can use sharp language, he can use sharp language, you choose to admonish me. I don't work for you sir. I work for the American people.

Republicans don’t cut deficits. They add to them. They complain about β€œrunaway government spending” and stick it to the poor while slipping millions of $$ to their super-rich donors.

The same people who say Adriana Smith should stay hooked up to machines so a fetus can gestate inside her dead body for 7 months because β€œit’s a sacrifice a mother would make” can’t fathom a mother crossing the border with her children in hopes of providing a better life for them.

The Trump HHS approach to transgender youth is not "greater emphasis on psychtherapy." It is "ONLY psychotherapy," with the explicit goal of making trans youth no longer transgender.

It IS conversion therapy.

Washington post is an absolute right wing rag at this point.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*

Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

To be clear: the Trump administration is trying to send migrants to Libya specifically *because* of their gross human rights record - not in spite of it.

They want people to be afraid to come here, so they’re sending them to the worst places they can find.

Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans.

It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.

Trump fires Librarian of Congress and Baltimorean Carla Hayden President Donald Trump fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden on Thursday, according to statements from House Democrats.

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.

Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people β€” NOT to Trump.
