Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.

Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

ICE now has 3x more funding than the United States Marine Corps. Our hard-earned taxpayer money. Over $170+ billion handed over, and for what?

To rip families apart. To instill fear. To dismantle the very virtues by which this country was built. To help the rich get richer.

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs.

This is Project 2025 in action.

The debt, deportation, and death bill has passed. Congress further decimates care work to fund violence work.

Vital services eviscerated and ICE becomes the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency ever known. It hasn’t been sold this way, but it’s a massive public jobs program for fascists.

The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich.

Republicans passed this knowing people will die.

They know people will lose their health care.

They know children will go hungry.

They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.

I reserve my sympathy for those that understood the November assignment.

Everyone who voted for this? Enjoy the leopards feasting on your faces. I don’t care.

Republicans just voted to pass Trump’s Tax Scam, take healthcare away from 17 million people, kick 11.8 million people off food stamps, and rip school lunches away from kids — all so they can shovel $4.5 trillion to the ultra-rich in tax cuts.

We're going to make sure voters remember this in 2026.

Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

reminder of a really understated consequence of the megabill:
The U.S. Senate has just approved a massive reconciliation bill. Analyses by the CBO show it would lead to million of peoples losing Medicaid coverage.

Among other effects, research has shown that when Medicaid has been cut, crime rates have gone up: boltsmag.org/medicai...
“We Need to See the Bigger Picture”: How Cuts to Medicaid Hurt Public Safety
A new study found that when people lose health insurance, crime rates go up. Bolts spoke to one of the authors about the implications, at a time of a nationwide drop-off in Medicaid.

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.
July 3, 2025 at 6:34 PM
I knew this bullshit bill would pass.

#Republicans are absolute sycophants. They work for the billionaires, not for the American people. They’re also so far up Mango Mussolini’s rectum, they have cheeto dust on every inch of their skins.

Nice run, America. 250 years.

The sexual abuser, convicted felon, business fraud, insurrectionist who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy got to appoint three Justices to lifetime seats on our highest court and THEY just handed the Executive branch he occupies more unchecked power than it’s ever had.
