Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

Nicusor Dan, pro-EU Romanian presidential candidate, has won the elections in Romania.
Far-right and pro-Russian candidate George Simion won the first round of elections. Prior to that, an earlier round of Romanian presidential elections was canceled due to Russian interference.

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”
