The greatest tragedy of trump & the complicit 119th Congress destruction of the regulatory and social guardrails that were the pillars of USA Democracy is the utter indifference of the people and their failure to perceive what has been done.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them. It’s going to create additional deficits, which means all of the cuts are only a partial payment.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

Republicans just made their big bad billionaire tax bill worse.
They just added a provision that pressures health exchange plans to drop most abortion services—EVEN if federal funds aren’t used to pay for them.
Millions of women will lose access to basic health care if the GOP gets their way.

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes
