Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

RFK Jr, who is causing unprecedented damage, is deeply unpopular with the public.

Democrats absolutely need to demand his firing as a basic minimum for supporting any effort to fund the government.

You think of all the folks who sacrificed for this country and to watch it get dismantled in such short order by a drug addicted charlatan who has raped more women than he has read books in his life is really something. We should have locked his ass up when we had the chance.

Turns out... throttling the storied Washington Post opinion section by the neck like this doesn't turn it into something new or exciting! It turns it into print newsmax. Or truth social with better kerning or something. This is dime-a-dozen stuff now -- who's asking for this?

The full weight of the Trump/WH legal/propaganda apparatus has been bearing down on this one day laborer and his family for months, all because Trump/Miller decided defying the law would thrill MAGA.

No one should accept how the US government has treated this man. An absolute disgrace. 8/8

I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.

Cuts to healthcare and food assistance programs in exchange for tax cuts skewed to the rich, a record breaking amount of military spending, and a giant funding boost for ICE's deportation machine. This budget bill is utterly shameful.

At a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth, Senate Republicans have passed the largest redistribution of income upward in the history of this nation.

It will now be voted on in the House.

Call your reps and demand they vote "NO" on this travesty: (202) 224-3121.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

The news is trying to act like there's some sort of suspense as to whether Republicans in the Senate will fuck over the country to pass a bill to give more money to the rich. I'm on the edge of my seat.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private:

That Trump is stupid, and nuts.
