Remember Biden’s final SOTU speech when he warned about Medicare cuts and GOP lawmakers booed and yelled “Liar!”? The CBO estimates $500 billion+ in Medicare cuts between 2026 and 2034 if Congress fails to pass a sequestration waiver. That includes about $45 billion in 2026. Who’s the “Liar” now?

Texas’s Gerry-mandate of their Gerry-mangled districts was ruled racially biased and tossed for the midterms. CA Prop 50 shows Gerry-matters when voters decide - rather than trying to simply redraw democracy with a Sharpie.

I’m glad something was done, but these two men are playing both arsonist and firefighter. Biden laid a lot of the groundwork for this peace deal and had it not been for Bibi and Bimbo undermining the plan for their own political fortunes, it would have been done prior to much unnecessary suffering.

It’s rather infuriating that the mainstream media has gone into a reality TV frenzy over 47’s long overdue cease-fire deal and release of 20 living, but 28 dead hostages (including 2 dead Americans), while Biden barely got any credit for his cease-fire deal and 148 total living hostages freed.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole.
