Let me just say a simple thing.
Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.
If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Meanwhile, the meanest and most accurate thing you can say about Jimmy Fallon is that the Trump administration isn’t worried about him in the slightest.

The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE THE VICTIMS OF CRIME THAN THE PERPETRATORS
People are so bothered by someone drinking a beer in a park or trying to sleep on a sidewalk they froth at the mouth screaming about how they are a danger to society.
And this is what fucking happens.

A second mass shooting of a homeless encampment in Minneapolis. Five more people died. Meanwhile, congress is working on passing the ability to jail homeless people for up to 30 days or charge them $500. It bans camping on public property. abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu...

More cars abandoned on the side of the road, & more day laborers disappeared.
A van rolls into the Broadview "processing facility." After gates close, agents move 3 men in shackles into the building.

I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis.
Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget.
Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.

The Republican budget bill continues the attack on the healthcare of everyday Americans.
And is a dirty piece of legislation.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.
