I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

“What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?"

That's a real question from Frank Bisignano...the commissioner of Social Security.

Millions of Americans depend on Social Security. They should be able to trust that the head of the agency even knows what the job is.
New head of Social Security, hired from Wall Street, tells staff he had to Google the job when he was offered it
Newly sworn-in Social Security chief Frank Bisignano, who previously was a Wall Street executive, told staffers he had to Google the SSA job when it was offered to him.

Autogenocide is a word nerd's word, no doubt. But it is remarkably descriptive of the situation we find ourselves in. Credit to Heather Marsh for "insisting" that this is the right word.

Emergency #3E protest: May 22, in Washington D.C., at every State Capitol, City Hall, and Town Hall.

"A bill that strips people of food and health care is not a tax policy, it is autogenocide." "They are stealing from the bottom 10% and transferring it to the top 10%" #3E #StopTheBillionaireBailout

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.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

To understand what the GOP is forcing through at midnight:
•Gutting $880 billion from Medicaid
•Gutting $500 billion from Medicare
•Gutting funding for SNAP (food assistance)
•Gutting clean energy protections, which will also cost 400,000 jobs

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

SEN. DURBIN: Do you know the #1 cause of preventable death in America today?

SEC. KENNEDY: Number one cause…not sure what you're talking about

SEN. DURBIN: I'm talking about tobacco. You fired the head of CDC’s Office on Smoking & Health and eliminated their efforts from your budget

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes
