This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.
If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.
the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.
If Zuckerberg is having a midlife crisis, why can’t he just buy a piss-yellow convertible like every other jagoff and leave us alone?
MAGA is just the same old Republican shit.
Donald Trump is officially a convicted felon. That's the post.
Omg you guys I'm so excited for "am I sick again or just exhausted or broke or just very cold or hungry or awash in the existential terror of knitting together the end of this year with the beginning of the next one and slowly realizing they're both part of the same design" week. So stoked.
Nailed it!
Elon Musk is a money hoarder
His fantasy of becoming the first trillionaire is so close he can taste it
People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.
Thoughts on being 62.
Cynicism is a cheap luxury none of us can afford.
Despair is where you go when you lose steam in the rage wars.
So disengage.
Our job as elders is to be there for the young.
To call out the motherfuckers of disinformation.
To build on the history of resistance.
To give hope.
Too many people haven’t touched a book since they graduated high school and it shows.
My sincere recommendation to all: if you're not doing so already, take a break from cable news. At present time, it will only infuriate or depress you, offering in exchange only half-baked analysis with rare flashes of insight.
On the whole, it just ain't worth it. Take a break. Trust me.
There is a difference between covering or warning about (or even preparing to respond to) Trump's statements and preemptively giving into them.
I think it will be essential that we maintain that distinction going forward.
Trump saying something, especially right now, does not make it so.
I wonder how long Trump is going to put up with a shadow President…
Ponder this: Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, wasn’t born in the U.S. and can’t run for president—but he bought Donald Trump.
If you’re looking for doom posting about things, I’m not your guy. It’s bad, but I’ve spent my life dusting myself off and getting back to work. We don’t have the luxury to throw our hands in the air and let things collapse. I’m working to organize and fight against the horror show coming. Let’s go!
MAGA’s embrace of RFK Jr’s “Make America Healthy Again” is so funny because these same people CRUCIFIED Michelle Obama for daring to suggest that American kids should have access to healthy lunches in school.
If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Reminder—50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, international study says
www.cbsnews.com/news/tax-cut...
See this is that good early Twitter energy.
Written 54 years ago in response to a child’s letter about what makes a good citizen, and still right on the money.
they're thirsty for a dictatorship
REMINDER: If you make less than $360,000 per year, your taxes will actually INCREASE under Donald Trump.
Anyone making more than $360,000 will get a tax cut.
Trump's pitching more trickle-down economic nonsense, but please tell me again that he's the candidate for working people.
