GOP Rep. Van Orden has deleted his 'YES!' reply to this post after backlash:

"17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance. And $3.5 trillion was added to the deficit. All for a tax cut for Trump’s billionaire donors"

Big deal
🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.

Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Fox: Not only does the Senate want to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, the other key changes in this version of Trump's budget versus the House includes Medicaid cuts from 6% to 3.5% by 2031

I’m flashing back to 5 years ago when I lived near Barclays and had Fox News-watching relatives calling: Leave now! And then I’d go for a walk and there’d be nothing much but a peaceful march down Flatbush. That’s why I objected to Cotton’s “Send in the Troops” op-ed: It was premised on a lie.

I know a fun play with Roy Cohn in it
President Trump on Monday visited the Kennedy Center in Washington for the first time since he made himself the new chairman. He had harsh words for "Hamilton," which canceled a planned tour there after his takeover, but seemed excited about a long-planned "Les Misérables." nyti.ms/4bZfX2U
