This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

US signs pact with Kenya under 'America First' global health plan
So we don’t have money to support US citizen healthcare but we have $1.6B to support Kenyan healthcare. This is not me being anti-support for Kenya, but it’s almost as if the Republicans aren’t really America First Afterall! /1

Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment.
The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration.
OK.
Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America.
So, deport all whites?

Remember: An estimated 70% of congressional Republicans may financially benefit from the tax cuts in their Big Ugly Bill.
While cutting Medicaid and food stamps for millions — including many of their own constituents — these lawmakers may be enriching themselves.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

It wasn’t just tonight.
Dems have dramatically outperformed 2024 in nearly every special election also in 2025 before tonight.
But Republicans still don’t get what is happening out there.
Keep enabling all the worst abuses of Trump and many of you will be voted out next.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
