I need the left to focus now. With no power, this was the least shitty deal the Dems were going to get. People of lesser means were really feeling pain and SCOTUS was not likely to help. We, the voters did our part to get us to this point. Fume, primary, whatever, but be at the polls on 11/3/26.

Just one of the many reasons I hate CNN.
Turned on CNN three times yesterday while running errands. First time was in the middle of a segment about Biden's age. Second time they were airing a promo for Tappers book, which is about Biden's age. Third time was during a panel discussion -- about Biden's age.

As fire truck prices hit $2 million, US firefighters demand an antitrust probe
The largest firefighters' labor union in the U.S. is demanding antitrust authorities investigate the companies that make fire trucks, saying industry consolidation has led to skyrocketing costs and years-long wait times, endangering fire fighters and the public.

House Republicans released a draft budget that aims to cut $2 trillion in spending.
The programs impacted could include Medicaid, SNAP, and education programs.
Why the cuts? To finance another round of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
