If voters are horrified, they cannot forget that Rs are solely responsible for the cruelest, most destructive, and most inhumane bill in decades. ..The bill now moves to the House, where every Republican who votes for this cruel compact will soon face the wrath of voters.
Republicans refuse to admit that they are hurting ordinary, hard-working Americans... To do otherwise would be confession of their inhumanity. ..MAGA politicians convince themselves those who rely on vital benefits are unfit and undeserving. Republicans dub them “rats” or “vermin” or “murderers.”
their greatest moral failure is arguably not lack of courage but rather lack of empathy. They simply do not care about the pain they are inflicting on others.

First votes of the day underway in the House. This is an attendance test - weather in DC cancelled a lot of flights, many members haven't been able to get back to town.
Johnson admits they don't have the votes for the rule on the MAGA murder budget yet. Fox reporting at least 12 GOP nos right now.

- Up to 30 House Republicans making angry noises (see list from Haley Talbot). Republicans lose a maximum of 3 if everyone votes. It is of course worth remembering that literally all these folks made angry noises the first time they passed the budget, too, and all but two quietly voted yes.

ICE is also the fault of a complicit press.
How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America?
It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.

A military parade in Washington for the President’s birthday is a misuse of taxpayer funds and an abuse of power by the commander in chief. This comes at the same time that the GOP are pushing through tax cuts for the rich on the backs of Medicaid, SNAP and Medicare cuts for working class Americans.
