After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered.

It seems as if Sen. MarkWayne Mullin, OK, is confident that Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will pass. I mean, No, it doesn't balance the budget, and 6 million people will be kicked off Medicaid, but it's because they are undeserving and won't work. Oh, (1 of 3)

Very helpful comments from Ezra Klein.
Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Amen @jenrubin.bsky.social, and don’t forget his contribution to stacking the Supreme Court. Feeling very bitter about Mitch McConnell and his not putting country before party
www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... McConnell can partially atone for the sin of helping return a pro-Putin, NATO-averse president to office by — for once — standing up to Trump. No longer in a leadership position he can show that his paeans to Senate’s institutional power are more than words.
